Black & Decker Saw Manual page 11

The new connection system does not
release the operator of the tool from the
safety precautions and safe working
practices given in the manual. Particular
attention is drawn to the fact that this
connection system is ‚weather resistant',
but not suitable for immersion,
submersion or being subjected to water
jets. Take care to prevent the cable from
lying in or trailing through pools of water
or from splashing with hose pipes.
The following items are available:
A6615 20 m cable, socket, 13 Amp plug
A6616 20 m cable, socket, 13 Amp plug and
Cable Tidy frame
A6617 30 m cable, socket, 13 Amp plug and

Cable Tidy reel
Existing cable systems
Your tool either comes with a cable attached
(the cat. no. ends with a C) or with a male connector
built into the tool. If you already own an outdoor
cable system with the old female connector shown
below, we recommend that you replace this
connector with the new female connector, which is
available from most major DIY outlets and from
Black & Decker service centres (cat. no. A6624S).
old female connector
Follow the instructions supplied with the connector.
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Existing outdoor tools
To connect existing Black & Decker outdoor tools
to the new system, you will need an adaptor (see
below), which is available as an accessory from
most major DIY outlets and from Black & Decker
service centres (cat. no. A6623S).
new female connector
This adaptor is only suitable for products
rated up to 500 W. It is not recommended
for use with hover mowers, rotary mowers
with grass collection, chainsaws, shredders
and blower vacs. Please contact your local
service centre if you need further advice.
Fitting your own extension cable
When making your own extension cable,
fit a 13 Amp plug to one end of the cable
(see „Mains plug replacement") and a female
connector to the other end. For wiring
instructions, see those supplied with the
female connector.
A male connector (see below) is already attached
to the power supply cable on your tool. It is
non-rewireable and should not be removed. If
the connector is damaged and needs
replacement, take the tool to a Black & Decker
service centre.
female connector
Never wire an extension cable with
anything other than the female connector
supplied and a 13 Amp BS1363A
approved plug with the recommended
fuse. Never wire a male connector to the
extension cable. Never wire an extension
cable with a plug of any kind at each end
of the cable. This is extremely dangerous
and results in the pins being live, which
may cause a fatal electric shock.
Fitting the female connector
To remove the cover, unscrew the fixing screw
until it is free of the nut which is located in the
hexagonal recess on the underside of the
connector. Take care not to lose the nut if it
falls out.
