Care And Maintenance - Black & Decker GT200 Series Instruction Manual

Failure to work
If your hedgetrimmer does not work, unplug it
and check:
•
The power point (try another tool or appliance).
•
The plug and its fuse.
•
The plug and socket connections.
If in doubt get help from a qualified electrician, or visit
your Black & Decker service centre.

Care and maintenance

•
Switch off and disconnect from power supply
before cleaning or adjusting your machine.
•
For best performance, keep the blades and air
slots in the motor housing clean. Use a cloth or
brush to remove cuttings, sap or other debris.
•
Prevent the blades from rusting by applying a film
of light machine oil after cleaning.
•
Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a non
abrasive cleaner and a cloth dampened with
warm water.
•
Do not immerse any part of the hedgetrimmer
in water.
•
Avoid all other types of detergents, cleaners or
solvents. These may contain chemicals that
could seriously damage the plastic. Do not spray
the hedgetrimmer with water, and do not allow
water to enter the hedgetrimmer.
•
After cleaning the tool can be stored in its
packaging for protection.
•
Self lubricating bearings are used in the tool and
lubrication is not required.
