collection box support bars (13).
Assemble your raker, as follows:
•
Place your raker body (1) in its working
position, on a level surface.

•
Insert the handle tube (6) into your raker
body (1), locating the cross pin (17) in
the slot.
•
With the cross pin (17) located in the slot,
place the handle plate (18) against your
raker body (1), aligning the two screw holes,
and secure the handle plate in position
using the two screws (19) provided.

Place the ‘T’ handle (7) over the square
end of the handle tube (6) (Fig. B), with
the switch lever (8) on the right hand
side, slide the ‘T’ handle (7) down the
handle tube (6) until the holes in the ‘T’
handle and the handle tube are aligned.
Note: If you have any difficulty in inserting the
handle tube into the ‘T’ handle , loosen each
of the two screws at the end of the ‘T’
handle sufficiently to allow this. When
assembled, re-tighten the screws.
•
Fix the hexagon nut (20) into the
hexagonal recess on the underside of the
‘T’ handle, loosen each of the two
screws at the end of the ‘T’ handle (7)
and handle tube (6) and screw firmly into
the hexagon nut (20).

Secure the electrical supply cable (10) to
the handle tube (6) using the buckle

The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be
marked at the connection points of most
good quality plugs. Attach the wires to
their respective points in the plug (see
below). Brown is for “Live” (L) and blue is
for “Neutral” (N).
•
Before replacing the top cover of the
mains plug ensure that the cable restraint
is holding the outer sheath on the cable
firmly and that the two leads are correctly
fixed at the terminal screws.

Warning! Never connect live or neutral wires
to the earth pin marked “E” or .
Note: Do not wire an extension cable directly
into your raker yourself. Instead, take your
raker to your nearest Black & Decker
service agent.
Increased safety can be obtained by having
a qualified electrician install a high sensitivity
(30mA) circuit breaker in the house wiring.
If you do not have such a circuit breaker
installed, or you do not wish to have one
installed, then we strongly recommend that
the electrical power to your raker be supplied
through a high sensitivity residual current
device (RCD). The RCD is designed to
provide a high degree of personal protection
against harmful electric current should fault
conditions occur.
!
Warning! The use of an RCD or other circuit
breaker unit does not release the operator of
your raker from the safety instructions and
safe working practices given in this manual.
