SAFETY GUIDELINES = DEFINITIONS
It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The
information itcontains relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and
PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols below are used to help you
recognize this information.
z_DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Z_WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
z_CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
property damage.
z_WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock:
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock:
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
fprulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
om heat, oil sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock:
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) if operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCl) protected
supply. Use of a GFCl reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohot or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask; non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power toot for
your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool ifthe switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users,
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of movingparts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation, if damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack:
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
Injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause bums or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This willensure that
the safety of the power fool is maintained.

TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. WORKING POSiTiON - Maintain
proper footing and balance and do not
overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid
footwear when trimming. Hold the unit
firmly in both hands and turn the unit ON.
Always hold the trimmer, as shown in the
illustrations in this manual, with one hand
on the switch handle and one hand on the
bait handle. (figure 4) Never hold the unit
by the blade guard.
2.
TRIMMING NEW GROWTH - (Figure
5) A wide, sweeping motion, feeding
the blade teeth through the twigs is
most effective. A slight downward tilt
of the blade, in the direction of motion
gives the best cutting.
/KCAUTION: Do not cut stems greater
than 3/4 inch (19mm). Use the trimmer
onlyforcuttingnormalshrubberyaroundhousesandbuildings.
3.
LEVEL HEDGES (Figure 6) - To obtain exceptionally level
hedges a piece of string can be
stretched along the length of the hedge
as a guide.
4. SIDE TRIMMING HEDGES (Figure 7)-
Hold the trimmer as shown and begin at
the bottom and sweep up.
/.'_WAHNIN_: TO GUARD AGAINST
INJURY, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL
BEFORE USING. SAVE INSTRUCTION
MANUAL.
CHECK THE HEDGE FOR FOREIGN

FENCES BEFORE EACH USE.
KEEP HANDS ON HANDLES. DON'T
OVERREACH.
DO NOT USE UNDER WET CONDITIONS.
z_CAUTION: BLADE MAY COAST AFTER TURN OFF.
Z_DANGER: KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM BLADES.
Z_WARNING: Remove battery pack before
servicing, cleaning or
removing material from the gardening appliance.
The cutting blades are made from high quality,
hardened steel and with normal usage, they will not
require resharpening. However, if you accidentally
hit a wire fence (figure 9), stones, glass or other
hard objects, you may put a nick in the blade. There
is no need to remove this nick as long as it does not
interfere with the movement of the blade. Ifit does
interfere, remove the battery and use a fine toothed file or sharpening
stone to remove the nick. If you drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it
for damage. If the blade is bent, housing cracked, or handles broken or
if you see any other condition that may affect the trimmer's operation
contact your local Black & Decker Service Center for repairs before
putting it back into use.
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly
accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the unit on or adjacent
to fertilizers or chemicals.
