Warning! This adaptor is only suitable for
!
products rated up to 500W. It is not
recommended for use with the following:
Hover mowers, rotary mowers with grass
collection, chainsaws, shredders and blower

Fitting your own extension cable
•
When making your own extension cable, fit a
13 amp plug (see "fitting the mains plug") to one
end of the cable and a 'female' connector to the
other end (see below). For wiring instructions see
those supplied with the female connector.
•
A 'male' connector is already attached to the
electrical supply cable on your machine and is
designed to be non-rewireable (see below).
This should not be removed. Should the plug
become damaged or need replacing, please
return the machine to your Black & Decker
service centre.
'female' connector
Warning! 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 your extension
cable and 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.

Useful hints for trimming hedges
(Fig. E)
Read the safety rules first!
Cutting
•
E Tip the blades a little towards
the hedge (Fig. E1).
•
First cut both sides, working from the
bottom up, then trim the top (Fig. E2).
•
Take care to avoid any hard objects in or
around the hedge that could damage
the blades.
•
Where the branches are very long,
cut the hedge back in several stages
(short cuttings are easier to tidy up).

As a general guide, hedges and shrubs
with seasonal leaves (new ones each year)
can be trimmed in June and October.
•
Evergreens can be trimmed in April
and August.
