Powerful, Cordless Performance
Like all Black & Decker cordless string trimmers, the NST1024 delivers a high level of cutting performance
without the hassles of gas, oil, or pull cords. It comes equipped with a long-lasting 24-volt battery pack and a
newly developed 9,000-RPM motor. The motor gives the trimmer the juice it needs to quickly take down the
tallest weeds and expertly trim along fences, houses, landscape beds, and more.
Two Cutting Modes to Meet Your Needs
The NST1024 boasts a patented gear drive transmission to dramatically increase power output over all other
cordless trimmers on the market. And for optimum control of all that power, PowerCommandTM
enables users to
select between two cutting modes. Normal mode maximizes battery runtime, while Boost mode delivers twice
the cutting power of leading 18-volt string trimmers.
Versatile, Comfortable, and Easy to Use
The adjustable aluminum shaft and soft no-slip grip areas make the NST1024 comfortable to use. With the
touch of a single button, the trimmer head rotates and converts to an edger. To cap it off, the NST1024 trimmer
uses Black & Decker's patented auto-feed spool system, which automatically advances the cutting line as it
wears down.
In addition to power and versatility, the NST1024 offers an array of environmental advantages. Unlike
gas-powered engines that produce a total of over one million tons of polluting air emissions a year, the
NST1024 releases zero harmful emissions when cutting. In addition, its charging system is Energy Star certified.
As an added bonus, the NST1024 is much lighter, starts easier, and has lower operating costs than traditional

products, and technology-based fastening systems, Black & Decker has established a reputation for product
innovation, high-quality, durable design, and value. The company enjoys worldwide recognition for its
innovative product development, and its global distribution is unsurpassed in the hardware and tools industry.

trigger switch. In the years that followed, the company's success led to entry into foreign markets, and later,
the development of individual tool lines.
