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.

Fitting and removing the blade (fig. A, B, C)

The shear blade (4) has been designed for trimming grass and weeds. The trim blade (5) has been designed for trimming hedges and shrubs.

• To remove the blade cover (6). Push and hold the blade release

button (3) in the direction of the arrow (fig. A)

Note: No alignment of blade with drive pin is required and operation of the blade cover release button is not required when re-fitting the blade cover.

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 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.

90556224 REV. 1 Garden Shear Manual.qxd: chainsaw booklet new 12/4/09 12:42 PM Page 4

• 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

• Push and hold the lock button (2) (fig. E) to the right or to the left and then squeeze the on/off switch (1).

• Release the lock-off button.

Switching off

• Release the on/off switch (1).

WARNING: Never

attempt to lock the switch in the on position.

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 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.

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.

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.

90556224 REV. 1 Garden Shear Manual.qxd: chainsaw booklet new 12/4/09 12:42 PM Page 5

• 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.

• After use, carefully clean the blades. After cleaning, apply a film of light machine oil to prevent the blades from rusting.

Storage

When the tool will not be used for several months, ideally leave the battery connected to the charger. Otherwise proceed as follows:

• Fully charge the battery.

• Store the tool in a secure and dry location. The storage temperature must always remain in the range of 41°F (5°C) to 104°F (40°C).

• Before using the tool after prolonged storage, fully charge the battery again.

Accessories

• Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available from

your local dealer or authorized service center. If you need assistance regarding accessories, please call: 1-800-544-6986.

WARNING: The use of any accessory not

recommended for use with this tool could be hazardous.

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.
