Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the battery is fully charged before first use. Attach the desired blade (shear or trimmer) by aligning it with the tool's mounting point and securing it following the instructions in the manual; this process is designed to be toolless.
Compatibility: This tool uses Black+Decker's 18V Lithium-Ion battery system. Ensure you have a compatible 18V Black+Decker battery and charger. The 2.0Ah battery included is suitable for smaller tasks; larger capacity batteries from the same system can be used for extended run times.
Care: After each use, remove the battery and clean the blades with a dry cloth to remove sap and debris. Store the tool and accessories in a dry place. Periodically check blades for sharpness and damage. Avoid exposing the tool or battery to extreme temperatures or moisture.
