Functional Description - Black & Decker GC150 Instruction Manual

Use common sense. Do not operate
appliance when you are tired.
• Disconnect Appliance – Disconnect
the appliance from the power supply
when not in use, before servicing, when
changing accessories such as blades,
and the like.
• Store Idle Appliances Indoors – When
not in use, appliances should be stored
indoors in dry, and high or locked-up
place – out of reach of children.
• Maintain Appliance With Care –
Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for
best performance and to reduce the
risk of injury. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect appliance cord periodically,
and if damaged, have it repaired by
an authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace
if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease.
• Check Damaged Parts – Before further
use of the appliance, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other
condition that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless
indicated elsewhere in this manual.
• Replacement Parts – When servicing
use only identical replacement parts.
• Polarized Appliance Connections –
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other) and will require
the use of a polarized extension cord.
The appliance plug will fit into a polarized
extension cord only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the extension cord,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, obtain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will
require the use of a polarized wall outlet.
This plug will fit into the polarized wall
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper
wall outlet. Do not change the equipment
plug, extension cord receptacle, or
extension cord plug in any way.
• Keep hands away from blades.
