User manual

Congratulations!

On your purchase of your Black & Decker corded

lawnmower.

This user manual provides important operating and

maintenance instructions for all of the mowers in the

Black & Decker 4x4 corded range.

Know your mower

Read all of this manual carefully, observing all

the recommended safety instructions before,

during and after using your mower, and

maintain your mower in good working order.

Familiarise yourself with the controls on your

mower before attempting to operate it, but

above all, be sure you know how to stop

your mower in an emergency.

Retain this user manual and all other literature

supplied with your mower for future reference.

Safety instructions

Training

• Never allow children or persons who are

unfamiliar with this type of mower to use

it, nor anyone who has not read this user

manual.

Do not allow children, animals or

other persons near your mower

when in use - always keep them

at least 6m (20ft) away from the

cutting area.

• Remember that the operator is responsible

for accidents or hazards occurring to

other people or their property.

• Your mower is designed for use on AC

(mains) electrical supplies only - do not

attempt to use it on any other supply.

• Plug your mower into a power point -

never a lighting socket.

!

• Switch off and remove plug from mains

before adjusting, cleaning or if the cord is

entangled or damaged. Never carry your

mower by the cable or jerk the cable to

seperate the connectors. Keep the cable

away from heat sources, oils or sharp

edges. Check the condition of your cable

before use and do not use if damaged.

Preparation

• To protect your feet, always wear stout

shoes or boots - freshly cut grass is

damp and slippery.

• Do not operate your mower barefoot or

in open sandals.

• Use a face mask if dusty.

• Wear long trousers to protect your legs -

any debris left on the lawn or cutting path

may be picked up and ejected by the

blades.

• Always keep the power supply cable

away from the blades - be aware of its

position at all times. The power supply

cable should be regularly inspected for

signs of damage or ageing, and only

used if in good condition.

• Always be sure your mower is in a safe

operating condition.

• Before using your mower, disconnect it

from the electrical supply and visually

check that the blade, blade nut and

cutter assembly are not worn or

damaged. A damaged blade or worn

blade nut is a major hazard and must be

replaced. Also check that the blade nut is

securely fastened.

• Always check that your lawn or cutting

path is clear of all sticks, stones, wire

and other debris. Contact with such

debris may be dangerous or may

damage your mower and could be

thrown by the blade.

Operation

• When tilting the handle downwards (or to

the side) to start your mower, do not tilt it

more than is absolutely necessary.

Always ensure that both hands are in the

operating position and feet are well away

from the blades before returning your

mower to the ground.

Your mower will continue to run

for a short time after releasing

the switch lever. Always allow

your mower to stop on its own.

• Release the switch lever to turn your

mower off and remove the plug from

the mains:

• Whenever you leave your mower

unattended.

• Before checking, cleaning, adjusting

or working on your mower.

• Before clearing a blockage.
