ATTACHING EXTENSION CORD TO MOWER (FIGURE 5)
DO NOT connect the extension cord to power source until you have
finished reading this manual and you are ready to start mowing.
1. The extension cord must be polarized and will only plug in one
way, orient the wide slot with the wide blade in the switch housing.
2. Loop the extension cord and push the loop up through the hole in the
switch housing.
3. Pull the extension cord on the side of the loop that is plugged into
the switch housing and remove all the slack in this section of the
extension cord.

pull the extension cord so the loop draws down around the strain
relief tab as shown in the detail. Double check to see that you did
not loosen the extension cord.

SWITCH USE (FIGURE 6)
Your mower is equipped with a special switch. To operate the switch,
insert your finger into the opening (Figure 6) and push the lever out so
that you can grasp it with your other hand. Pull the lever back to turn
the unit on and hold it against the mower handle to keep it running. To
turn the mower off, just release the lever. The spring loaded "SNAP
ACTION" lever will quickly turn the mower off.
WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO OVERRIDE THE OPERATION
OF THIS SWITCH.

EXTENSION CORD TO ELECTRICAL OUTLET (FIGURE 7)
1. Place most of the extension cord close to the electrical outlet, out
of the path of the mower. Attach extension cord to mower.
2. Start in direction where extension cord side of mower is closest to
the outlet. Begin mowing in the area closest to the outlet and mow
in a back and forth manner. Note the cord is kept on cut portion of
lawn and out of the path of the mower. (FIGURE 7)
3. Avoid mowing in circles as cord will be harder to manage.

FLIP-OVER HANDLE FEATURE (FIGURE 8)
1. By pulling the handle release lever and flipping the handle to the
opposite side of the mower, the cord remains on the same side of
the mower and out of the way.

2. Your mower features the Black & Decker single lever wheel height
adjust system. This system will adjust all four wheels at the same
time. Mower adjusts from 1 to 3 1/2 in. (25.4mm - 88.9mm) with
six increments.
3. Place your left hand on the height adjust handle and your right
hand on the lower handle as shown in Figure 9.
4. Pull height adjust handle away from mower, and re-set in the
desired height adjust position. (See recommended cutting height by
grass type under OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS) Rotating the
height adjust towards the front of the mower lowers the cutting
height, and rotating towards the rear raises the cutting height.

MULCHING TIPS
In the mulching configuration your new mower is designed to re-cut
the grass clippings into short lengths.
These clippings, which are dispersed as you mow will biodegrade
quickly and provide nutrients for the lawn.
