Switching On And Off - Black+Decker GKC1000L Manual De Instrucciones

Plug in the charger (9) and switch on at the mains.
u
The charging indicator (19) will flash continuously (slowly).
u
The charge is complete when the charging indicator (19)
u
lights green continuously.
The LED will change to flashing green (charging) state as
u
the charger occasionally tops up the battery charge.
The charging indicator (19) will be lit as long as the battery
u
pack is connected to the plugged in charger (9).
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery
pack fresh and fully charged.
Charger diagnostics
If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the
charging indicator will flash red at a fast rate. Proceed as
follows:
Re-insert the battery (6).
u
If the charging indicator (19) continues flashing red at
u
a fast rate, use a different battery to determine if the
charging process works properly.
If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
u
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
u
battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
services 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.
Preparation
Carry out regular cleaning of the unit as described in the
u
maintenance section and in particular cleaning inside the
chain access cover (11).
The lower jaw (2) and top jaw (1) are designed to close
u
when one of the handles is released or when the piece
of branch being cut has been cut. If this does not occur,
discontinue use of the tool and remove the battery from
the tool.
Check if any debris is blocking movement. To help in this
u
process it may be necessary to remove the chain access
cover (11). If on assembly the problem is still present,
return the unit to an authorised service centre.

Switching on and off

Warning! Never attempt to lock or fix a switch actuator in the
on position.
For your safety, this tool is equipped with a double switching
system. This system prevents starting the tool inadvertently.
Switching on (fig. I)
Ensure a firm grip on the handles and then squeeze both
switch actuators (7) to switch the unit on.
Switching off (fig. I)
Release either of the switches.
Notes: Both switches must be activated for the product to be
used.
Do not force the tool - allow it to do the work. It will do a better
and safer job at the speed for which it is designed. Excessive
force will stretch the saw chain.
If the saw chain (14) or guide bar (3) becomes jammed:
Switch the tool off.
u
Disconnect the battery from the tool.
u
Open the cut with wedges to relieve the strain on the guide
bar. Do not try to wrench the saw free. Start a fresh cut.
Trimming branches (fig. J)
Ensure that there are no local by-laws or regulations that
would prohibit or control the trimming of the tree limbs.
Make sure the tool is running at full speed before making
u
a cut.
Hold the tool firmly in place to avoid possible bouncing or
u
sideways movement of the tool.
Guide the tool using light pressure.
u
Always cut down from the top. This way you will avoid
u
pinching the saw chain (14).
Remove branches as shown in figure I. Starting from the
u
branch tip, reduce the branch in logical steps cutting off
small sections.
Remove the tool from the cut while it is running at full
u
speed.
