Existing cable systems (UK only)
If you already own an outdoor cable system, we
recommend that you replace the existing "female" cable
connector with the new 'female' connector (see below)
which is supplied loose in the carton. (Please read the
section entitled "fitting the 'female' connector".)
old 'female' connector
Should you wish to convert more than one cable
system, the new female connector is available as
an accessory from most major DIY retail outlets
and from Black & Decker Service Stations
(cat. no. A6624S).
Existing powered garden tools
(UK only)
To connect existing Black & Decker garden power
tools to the new system you will require an adaptor
(see below). This is available as an accessory from
most major DIY retail outlets (cat. no. A6623S).
Fitting your own extension cable
(UK only)
•
When fitting your own extension cable fit a
13 amp plug (see "fitting the mains plug") to one
end of the cable and a 'female' connector
(supplied loose in the carton) to the other end
(see below). For wiring instructions see the
following sections.
•
A 'male' connector is already attached to the
electrical supply cable on your machine and is
designed to be non-rewireable. This should not
be removed (see below). Should the cable and
plug become damaged or need replacing, please
return the machine to your Black & Decker
Service Station.

Fitting the 'female' connector
(UK only)
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. There is no need to
completely remove the fixing screw as it is intended
to remain captive in the cover. The cover can now be
removed by applying pressure as shown below.
The extension cable contains two wires which are
colour coded for easy recognition; brown is for 'Live'
(L) and blue is for 'Neutral' (N). The female connector
is marked 'L' for live and 'N' for neutral. These
markings are located inside the body near the
terminal screws (see below, figure a). With the
connector cover removed, lift out the cable protector
and proceed as follows:
•
Pass the cable through from the narrow end of
the cable protector (see below, figure a).
•
Prepare the cable ends to the specified strip
lengths (see below, figure b).
•
Remove cable clamp (see below, figure a). Take
care of loose parts.
•
To connect the extension cable to the connector
terminals, unscrew the terminal screws until the
clamp washers have lifted just enough to enter
the conductor between the raised washer and
the terminal (see below). Connect the brown lead
to 'L' and the blue lead to 'N'. N.B. There is no
need to remove the terminal screws. Connections
are not to be made under the screw heads.
