Protecting The Environment - Black and Decker GTC650L Manual De Instrucciones

ENGLISH
♦ If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
service centre.
Note It may take as long as 60 minutes to determine
that the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too
cold, the LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow,
one flash at each speed and repeat.
Switching on and off (fig. C)
For your safety, this tool is equipped with a double switching
system. This system prevents starting the tool inadvertently
and will only allow operation while holding the tool with both
hands.
Switching on
♦ Squeeze the front handle switch (1).
♦ Push the lock-off button (3) forward using your thumb
and at the same time squeeze the trigger switch (2).
♦ Release the lock-off button.
Switching off
♦ Release the front handle switch (1) or the trigger switch (2).
Warning! Never attempt to lock a switch in the on position.
Hints for optimum use
♦ Slightly tilt the tool (up to 15° relative to the line of cut) so
that the blade tips point slightly towards the hedge (fig. D1).
This will cause the blades to cut more effectively.
♦ Start by trimming the top of the hedge. Hold the tool at
the desired angle and move it steadily along the line of
cut (fig. D2). The double-sided blade allows you to cut in
either direction.
♦ In order to obtain a very straight cut, stretch a piece of
string along the length of the hedge at the desired height.
Use the string (11) as a guideline, cutting just above it (fig. D2).
♦ In order to obtain flat sides, cut upwards with the growth
(fig. D3). Younger stems move outwards when the blade
cuts downwards, causing shallow patches in the hedge.
♦ Take care to avoid any foreign objects. Especially avoid
hard objects such as metal wire and railings, as these
could damage the blades (fig. D4).
♦ Regularly oil the blades.
♦ Consider purchasing a spare battery to extend the
running time of this tool. The catalogue number of the
battery is found in the technical data chart below.
