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 grass shear 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 shear’s charger from the power supply before disconnecting the charger from the shear. 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 (Figure1) 1. Attach charger cord to shear. 2. Plug charger into any 120-Volt receptacle. Your shear is now on charge. CAUTION: This Charger can be used only with 60 cycle, 115-120 AC voltage. 3. Recharging the shear will require on the average about 16 hours for it to reach full capacity. The shear 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 OPERATION & 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” (FIGURE 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 AND 5) 1. Be sure that you have read carefully the safety rules. Use shear only for trimming grass and weeds. 2. For the best results you should trim only on a dry day, but water or moisture in the grass or on the ground does not create an electric shock hazard with this tool. Just be sure not to cut through any electric cords which may be in the area. 3. Keep your other hand well away from the blade, and maintain a stable working position so that you don’t slip. Don’t overreach. 4. Feed the blade into the grass at a rate that allows it to keep up cutting speed. Feed slower if the blade slows down. Watch out for foreign objects in the grass. MAINTENANCE It is easy to remove sap and dirt deposits when they are fresh and moist, but difficult after they become dry. Therefore, it is recommended that you wash the blades in water after each use. Hold the BLADES under a running faucet (Figure 6a) or in a pan of water (Figure 6b) and turn the tool “ON” to help dislodge the deposits. (There is no electric shock hazard from the shear’s low-voltage power supply.) If the buildup of sap is difficult to remove, it may be necessary (with the motor “OFF”) to scrub the blades with soap and a stiff bristle brush. After cleaning, wipe the blades with a cloth and allow them to dry. Then, with a rag, apply a thin film of light engine oil to the top and bottom of the ...
