Product Information
Full details
The Black & Decker 18V Cordless Shear Shrubber is designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts who need a versatile tool for precision trimming of grass, edges, and small shrubs. Its primary benefit is the lightweight, ergonomic design paired with a tool-less blade swap system that allows for seamless transitions between tasks. A key caveat for potential buyers is that this is a bare tool model, meaning it is supplied without a battery or charger, making it best suited for users already invested in the 18V POWERCONNECT™ ecosystem.

Does this tool come with a battery?
No, the BCSS18B-XJ is a 'bare tool' model and does not include a battery or charger.
What is the POWERCONNECT™ system?
It is Black & Decker's interchangeable battery system, allowing one 18V battery to power multiple garden and power tools.

The tool features a tool-less blade change system; release the latch, remove the current blade, and slide the new one into position.
Can this cut thick tree branches?

How should I clean the blades?
Use a soft brush to remove debris, and wipe with a cloth dampened with a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly and apply a light oil.
Troubleshooting
The tool will not start when the trigger is pressed.
Check that the battery is fully inserted and charged. Ensure the safety lockout switch is properly disengaged.
The cutting performance is dull or uneven.
Inspect the blades for built-up sap or resin and clean them thoroughly. Check if the blades have been damaged by hitting hard objects like stones or wires.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the BCSS18B-XJ, simply slide your charged 18V POWERCONNECT™ battery into the base until it clicks into place. Before starting, ensure the appropriate blade is securely attached using the tool-less release latch. Maintenance is straightforward: keep the blades clean of sap and debris after every use to prevent friction buildup. Periodically apply a light machine oil to the blades to ensure smooth cutting action. Store the unit in a dry, cool environment, and always remove the battery pack when the tool is not in use or when changing blades to ensure user safety.
