Black & Decker 90559283 manual EC declaration of conformity, GKC1817L, Guarantee

90559283, GKC1817L specifications

The Black & Decker GKC1817L,90559283 is a powerful and efficient cordless chainsaw designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts who require a reliable tool for cutting and trimming tasks. This model stands out for its user-friendly features, innovative technologies, and overall performance, making it a popular choice in the market of outdoor power equipment.

One of the main features of the GKC1817L is its 18V lithium-ion battery. This advanced battery technology provides consistent power and prolonged life, allowing users to work longer without the need for frequent recharges. The cordless design adds to its convenience, enabling users to maneuver freely without the limitations of a power cord. Furthermore, the battery is compatible with other Black & Decker 18V tools, offering versatility and cost savings for users who own multiple products from the brand.

The GKC1817L boasts a 30 cm (12 inches) bar and chain, making it suitable for a range of cutting tasks, from light pruning to more substantial tree trimming. The tool features a tool-free chain tensioning system, allowing users to easily adjust the chain tension without the need for additional tools. This ensures optimal performance and safety, as a properly tensioned chain reduces the risk of kickback and improves cutting efficiency.

In terms of design, the chainsaw is lightweight and ergonomically designed for user comfort. Weighing in at just under 3 kg, it is easily manageable for extended periods without causing fatigue. The rubberized handle provides a secure grip, enhancing overall control while operating the tool.

Another notable characteristic is its low noise and vibration levels compared to traditional gas-powered chainsaws. This makes the GKC1817L an excellent choice for residential areas where noise restrictions may be in place. Users can benefit from its quiet operation, allowing them to work early in the morning or late into the evening without disturbing neighbors.

Safety features are also prioritized in the GKC1817L. The chainsaw is equipped with a safety switch to prevent accidental starts and a protective guard for additional user protection.

In summary, the Black & Decker GKC1817L,90559283 is a versatile and efficient cordless chainsaw that combines powerful performance with innovative design. With its lightweight build, user-friendly features, and advanced battery technology, it is an excellent choice for anyone looking to maintain their outdoor space with ease and efficiency.
