Trimming hedges
CAUTION:
Blades
coast after turn off.
• Slightly tilt the tool (up to 15° relative
to the line of cut) so that the blade tips
point slightly towards the hedge (fig.
h). This will cause the blades to cut
more effectively.
• Start by trimming the top of the hedge.
Hold the tool at the desired angle and
move it steadily along the line of cut.
The double-sided blade allows you to
cut in either direction.
• In order to obtain a very straight cut,
stretch a piece of string along the
length of the hedge at the desired
height. Use the string as a guide line,
cutting just above it.
• In order to obtain flat sides, cut
upwards with the growth (fig. I).
Younger stems move outwards when
the blade cuts downwards, causing
shallow patches in the hedge.
• Take care to avoid any foreign objects.
Especially avoid hard objects such as
metal wire and railings, as these could damage the blades.
• Regularly oil the blades.

The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium or lithium-
ion battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs
to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its
useful life have already been paid by Black & Decker. In
some areas, it is illegal to place spent
nickel-cadmium or lithium-ion batteries in the trash or
municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program
provides an environmentally conscious alternative. RBRC in
cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has
established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate
the collection of spent nickel-cadmium or lithium-ion batteries.
Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources
by returning the spent batteries to an authorized Black & Decker
service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also
contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop
off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BATTERy.
NOTE: Batteries are integrated into the tool and should not be
removed. To recycle, return the tool to an authorized Black & Decker
service center.
