manual abstract
Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the batteries are charged at normal room temperatures. 2. While charging, the charger will normally become warm to the touch. 3. If the batteries do not charge properly : a. Check house current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance. b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights. c. If house current is okay and you do not get proper charging, contact your nearest Black & Decker Service Center. 4. The shrubber should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were done easily previously. Do not continue to use the unit under these conditions. Repeat the charging procedure. 5. Unplug your shrubber’s charger from the power supply before disconnecting the charger from the shrubber (Fig.1). Unplug charger before attempting to clean. 6. Battery life is dependent on usage, storage temperature and time. Replacement battery packs are available and should only be replaced by Black & Decker Service Centers or Authorized Service Centers. CHARGE THE BATTERY (Fig.1) 1. Attach charger cord to shrubber. 2. Plug charger into any 120-Volt receptacle. Your shrubber is now on charge. CAUTION: This Charger can be used only with 60 cycle, 115-120 AC voltage. 3. Recharging the shrubber will require on the average about 16 hours for it to reach full capacity. The shrubber will not overcharge and can be left on charge indefinitely throughout the cutting season. One 7-hour charge will restore about 1/2 the battery capacity. A 4-hour charge will give about 8-10 minutes of operation. Continuous charging may slightly shorten overall battery life, but will not diminish the running time per charge. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SWITCH A SWITCH LOCKING BUTTON is provided on the top of the handle as a safety feature. Please note the following very carefully. 1. Disconnect charger before attempting to turn switch “ON”. 2. TO TURN TOOL “ON” (Fig. 2) slide the locking button “A” FORWARD with your thumb, and hold it FORWARD momentarily, while you squeeze the trigger switch “B”. The trigger has been designed so that it is very easy to hold in the “ON” position. 3. TO TURN TOOL “OFF”, merely release the trigger. TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS (FIGURES 3 & 4 ) • SAFETY – Be sure to carefully read and follow the safety rules shown in this manual. • WORKING POSITION – Maintain proper footing and balance and do not overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear and gloves when trimming. Hold the appliance firmly and turn the appliance ON. Always hold the shrubber as shown in these illustrations. • TRIMMING NEW GROWTH (Fig.3) – 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. One sweep will usually cut all twigs in the blade’s path. • TRIMMING HEAVIER GROWTH (Fig. 4) – To cut older growth, with thicker twigs, use a little extra pressure as you feed the blade through the growth. This clears the blade faster and helps to feed the thicker twigs into the blade teeth. Slowly feed the shrubber through heavy branches using only a portion of the cutting edges. Should the shrubber stall on these heavy pieces, stop immediately and release the switch. CAUTION: Do not use the shrubber for cutting stems greater than 5/16" (7.9mm). Use the shrubber only for cutting normal shrubbery found around houses and buildings. MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION No periodic relubrication of the bearings or mechanism is required. CLEANING PLASTIC PARTS Use only warm water and mild soap to clean the plastic parts. Many household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage the plastic. Never use gasoline, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids, or similar products. STORAGE The best storage place is one that is cool and dry. Store the tool away from direct sunlight, heating pipes and ducts, furnaces, etc. The best storage temperature is about +50°F. Do not store where temperatures go below 1-800-54-HOW-TO BEFORE RETURNING THIS PRODUCT FOR ANY REASON PLEASE CALL IF YOU SHOULD EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR BLACK & DECKER PRODUCT, CALL 1-800-54-HOW-TO (544-6986).
