Extension Cord
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord be sure it is heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Charging Procedure
The battery needs to be charged
before first use and whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily done before. When charging the battery for the first time, or after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80% charge. After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will attain full capacity. The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
|
WARNING: Do not charge the battery at ambient |
|
|
temperatures below 36° F (2°C) or above 104°F (40°C). |
|
|
Recommended charging temperature: Approximately 75°F (24°C). |
|
• |
Note: The charger plug incorporates lock |
D |
|
outs to prevent the use of incorrect |
|
|
chargers. The plug must be correctly |
|
|
oriented when inserted. |
|
• |
Insert the charger plug into the charger |
|
|
connector at the rear of the tool (fig. D). |
|
• Plug the charger into a 120V outlet. |
|
|
• |
Charge the tool for 16 hours before first use. |
|
For catalog numbers GSL35, GSL75:
•The charger indicator light will come on indicating that the tool is charging.
•When the charge is complete the light will go out.
For catalog numbers GSN30,GSN32, GSN35:
•The charger indicator light will come on indicating that the tool is charging.
•The light will stay on as long as the charger is connected to the tool and plugged into a working outlet.
4
90556224 REV. 1 Garden Shear Manual.qxd: chainsaw booklet new 12/4/09 12:42 PM Page 5
•It WILL NOT flash, or go out when the charging cycle is complete. To maximize the lifetime of the battery, it is recommended to keep the battery connected to the charger whenever the tool is not in use. When the battery is full, the power consumption of the charger is negligible.
Use
CAUTION: Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Switching on and off
Switching on |
|

Hints for optimum use |
|
(figs. F, G, H & I) |
|
Trimming grass |
|
|
• |
In order to achieve optimum cutting |
|
|
results, only cut dry grass. |
|
• |
Hold the tool as shown in fig. F & G. |
|
|
Keep your other hand well away |
G |
|
from the blade. Maintain a stable |
|
|
working position so that you do not |
|
|
slip. Do not overreach. |
|
• |
When cutting long grass, work in |
|
|
stages from the top. Take small cuts. |
|
• Keep the tool away from hard |
|
|
|
objects and delicate plants. |
|
•If the tool starts running slowly, reduce the load.
•To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the tool.
Trimming hedges
•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. |
H |
|
|
||
|
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 |
I |
|
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. |
|
Maintenance |
|
|
Your Black & Decker tool has been |
|
|
designed to operate over a long period |
|
|
|
||
of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning. Your charger does not require any maintenance apart from regular cleaning.
WARNING: Before performing any maintenance on the tool, switch off the tool. Unplug the charger before cleaning it.
5
90556224 REV. 1 Garden Shear Manual.qxd: chainsaw booklet new 12/4/09 12:42 PM Page 6
•Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool and charger using a soft brush or dry cloth.
•Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.

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
6
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.
