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 clamp
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

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 (30mA)
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.
