(Original instructions)  
ENGLISH  
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.  
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  
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away  
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair  
can be caught in moving parts.  
2. Electrical safety  
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.  
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, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep  
cord away from 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 residual current device (RCD)  
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of  
electric shock.  
4. Power tool use and care  
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power  
tool 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 if the 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 moving parts, breakage of parts and any  
other condition that may affect the power tools  
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired  
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly  
maintained power tools.  
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, alcohol 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.  
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.  
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  
energising power tools that have the switch on invites  
accidents.  
5. Service  
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair  
person using only identical replacement parts. This  
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional power tool safety warnings  
Warning! Additional safety warnings for hedge  
trimmers  
@
u Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade.  
Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut  
when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off  
when clearing jammed material. A moment of inattention  
while operating the tool can result in serious personal  
injury.  
u Always hold the tool with both hands and by the handles  
provided.  
Residual risks  
Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which  
may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These  
risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.  
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations  
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual  
risks can not be avoided. These include:  
u Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.  
u Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or ac-  
cessories.  
u Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter  
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the  
hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.  
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible  
personal injury from the cutter blades.  
u Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces  
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden  
wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a "live"  
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool  
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.  
u Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation  
the cable can be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally  
cut the blades.  
u The intended use is described in this instruction manual.  
The use of any accessory or attachment or performance  
of any operation with this tool other than those recom-  
mended in this instruction manual can present a risk of  
personal injury and/or damage to property.  
u If you have not used a hedge trimmer before, preferably  
seek practical instruction by an experienced user in addi-  
tion to studying this manual.  
u Never touch the blades while the tool is running.  
u Never attempt to force the blades to come to a standstill.  
u Do not put the tool down until the blades have come to a  
complete standstill.  
u Regularly check the blades for damage and wear. Do not  
use the tool when the blades are damaged.  
u Take care to avoid hard objects (e.g. metal wire, railings)  
when trimming. Should you accidentally hit any such  
object, immediately switch the tool off and check for any  
damage.  
u Should the tool start to vibrate abnormally, immediately  
switch it off and disconnect it from the mains suply then  
check for any damage.  
u If the tool stalls, immediately switch it off. Disconnect it  
from the mains supply before attempting to remove any  
obstructions.  
u Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using  
any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular  
breaks.  
u Impairment of hearing.  
u Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when  
using your tool (example:- working with wood, especially  
oak, beech and MDF.)  
Vibration  
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical  
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured  
in accordance with a standard test method provided by  
EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with  
another. The declared vibration emission value may also be  
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.  
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of  
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending  
on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may  
increase above the level stated.  
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety  
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly  
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration  
exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the  
way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the  
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off  
and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time.  
Labels on tool  
The following pictograms are shown on the tool along with the  
date code:  
u After use, place the blade sheath supplied over the  
blades. Store the tool, making sure that the blade is not  
exposed.  
Warning! To reduce the risk of injury, the user  
must read the instruction manual.  
u Always ensure that all guards are fitted when using the  
tool.

Accessories  
The performance of your tool depends on the accessory used.  
BLACK+DECKER accessories are engineered to high quality  
standards and designed to enhance the performance of your  
tool. By using these accessories you will get the very best  
from your tool.  
Working position  
u Maintain proper footing and balance and do not over-  
reach.  
u Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves  
when trimming.  
u Hold the tool firmly in both hands and turn the tool ON.  
Always hold the trimmer, as shown in Fig. D, with one

Maintenance  
Your BLACK+DECKER corded/cordless appliance/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.  
Lubrication oil is available from your BLACK+DECKER dealer  
(cat. no. A6102-XJ).  
Trimming new growth (fig.G)  
u 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.  
Warning! Do not use trimmer for cutting stems greater than  
16 mm. Use the trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery  
found around houses and buildings.  
Warning! Before performing any maintenance on corded/  
cordless power tools:  
u Switch off and unplug the appliance/tool.  
u Or switch off and remove the battery from the appliance/  
tool if the appliance/tool has a separate battery pack.  
u Or run the battery down completely if it is integral and then  
switch off.  
Level hedges (fig.H)  
u To obtain exceptionally level hedges, a piece of string can  
be stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide.  
u Unplug the charger before cleaning it. Your charger does  
not require any maintenance apart from regular cleaning.  
u Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your appliance/tool/  
charger using a soft brush or dry cloth.  
Side trimming hedges (fig.I)  
u Begin at the bottom and sweep up.  
u Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do  
not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.  
u After use, carefully clean the blades. After cleaning, apply  
a film of light machine oil to prevent the blades from rust-  
ing.  
Sawblade (fig.J)  
u For branches too large for the blade (1) to cut, use the  
sawblade (8) . Position the sawblade as close to the  
bottom of the branch as possible. Place the sawblade  
shoe (9) against the branch. Turn the hedge trimmer on as  
described above, allowing the tool to work at its own pace  
until the branch is fully cut.  
Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only)  
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:  
u Safely dispose of the old plug.  
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 (Fig. L), 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 in-  
terfere with the movement of the blade. If it does interfere, un-  
plug the cord 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.  
u Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the new  
plug.  
u Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.  
Warning! No connection is to be made to the earth terminal.  
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
