Technical Data - Black and Decker MTSS11 Manual De Instrucciones

Hold the tool as shown in fig. C. Keep your
u
other hand well away from the blade. Maintain
a stable working position so that you do not
slip. Do not overreach.
When cutting long grass, work in stages from
u
the top. Take small cuts.
Keep the tool away from hard objects and
u
delicate plants.
If the tool starts running slowly, reduce the
u
load.
To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the tool.
u
Trimming hedges
Slightly tilt the tool (up to 15° relative to the
u
line of cut) so that the blade tips point slightly
towards the hedge (fig. D). This will cause the
blades to cut more effectively.
Start by trimming the top of the hedge. Hold
u
the tool at the desired angle and move it stead-
ily along the line of cut (fig. E). The double-
sided blade allows you to cut in either direction.
In order to obtain a very straight cut, stretch a
u
piece of string along the length of the hedge
at the desired height. Use the string as a
guideline, cutting just above it.
In order to obtain flat sides, cut upwards with
u
the growth. Younger stems move outwards
when the blade cuts downwards, causing shal-
low patches in the hedge.
(Original instructions)
Take care to avoid any foreign objects.
u
Especially avoid hard objects such as metal
wire and railings, as these could damage the
blades.
Regularly oil the blades.
