When changing the fuse in your plug,
always ensure the fuse cover is refitted.
If the fuse cover is missing or damaged
do not use the plug.
Note: Fuses do not give personal protection
against electric shock.
Plug replacement
•
Disconnect the plug from the supply.
•
Cut off the plug and dispose of
immediately. Insertion of a detatched
plug into a 13 amp socket outlet may
result in electric shock.
•
Only fit BS1363A approved plugs fitted
with the correctly rated fuse.
•
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 mower yourself. Instead, take your
mower 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 mower 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 mower from the safety instructions and
safe working practices given in this manual.
Handle assembly (Fig. A - D)
A
Remove the parts from the carton and
familiarise yourself with the individual parts of
your mower.
The main parts of your mower are mower
body (1) which comprises the cutter deck (2),
cutter cover (3), collar (4), motor cover (5),
wheels (6), grassflap (7) and pivot pin (8).
The handle (9) comprises the lower handle
(10), upper handle (11), switch box (24),
switch lever (21) and safety lock-off button
(20), electrical supply cable (19), cable clips
(12,13) and the handle clamp assemblies,
which comprise a wing nut (15), washer (16)
and bolt (17).
Assemble the lower handle (10) into correct
locations on your mower body, as follows:
B
•
The lower handle (10) comes ready
assembled to your mower body (1) by
means of a pivot pin (8), wing nuts (15),
and washers (16). All that is required is to
unfold the handle from your mower body
by lifting, until the handle ends snap into
the correct locations on the sides of your
mower body. Once this is complete the
wing nuts (15) can be tightened.
With the lower handle in position, assemble
the upper handle, as follows:
C
•
Place the upper handle (11) over the
lower handle (10), with the upper bend
as shown in Fig. A.
•
Align the lower holes in the upper handle
with the location pins (18) in the lower
handle and press the upper handle onto
these pins.
•
Align the remaining (upper) holes in both
the upper and lower handles and fit a
bolt (17) through each hole. Fit a washer
(16) to each bolt and fit the wing nuts
(15) on to the bolts. Tighten each one
with hand pressure only.
Note: Do not use a spanner or other
implement to tighten the wing nuts.
When both upper and lower handle tubes
are assembled, fix the cable (19) by means
of the cable clips (12 &13) to the completed
handle, as follows:
D
•
The lower cable clip (12) fits into the hole
in the lower handle tube (10) and has a
location pin for that purpose.
