GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK
• The appliance must be connected to a socket or extension cable containing an earth connection.
• Electric safety can be further improved by using a highsensitivity (30 mA / 30 mS) residual current device (RCD).
• Your appliance is designed for use on AC (mains) electrical supplies only. Do not attempt to use it on any other supply.
EXTENSION CABLES
• When using the appliance outdoors, only use extension cables intended for outdoor use.
• Up to 25 m 1.5 mm 3-core extension cable can be used without loss of power.
OPERATION
• Before starting the appliance, look into the feeding chamber to make certain that it is empty.
• Keep your face and body away from the feed intake opening, long branches may lash out when being pulled in by the
cutting gear. Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or clothing inside the feeding chamber, discharge chute, or
near any moving part.
• Keep proper balance and footing at all times. Do not overreach. Never stand at a higher level than the base of the appliance
when feeding material into it.
• Always stand clear of the discharge zone when operating this appliance
• When feeding material into the appliance be extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans or other foreign
objects are not included.
• If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign objects or if the appliance starts making any unusual noise or vibration, turn
the appliance off, remove the plug from the mains and allow the appliance to stop.
- Inspect the appliance for damage.
- Check for and tighten any loose parts.
- Have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with original parts by an authorised repair agent.
• Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone; this may prevent proper discharge and can result in
kickback of material through the feed intake opening.
• If the appliance becomes clogged, turn the appliance off, remove the plug from the mains and allow the appliance to stop
before clearing debris.
• Keep all guards and deflectors in place and in good working condition.
• Do not transport or tilt the appliance whilst in operation.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended. Whenever you leave the work area, turn the appliance off, remove the plug from the
mains and allow the appliance to stop. Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not tilt the appliance while the power source is running.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• When the appliance is stopped for servicing, inspection, or storage, or to change an accessory, turn the appliance off and
remove the plug from the mains. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop before making any
inspections, adjustments, etc.
• Store the appliance in a dry and locked location. Children should not have access to stored appliances.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized Black & Decker Service Centre
or an equally qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. If the supply cord is replaced by an equally qualified person,
but not authorized by Black & Decker, the warranty will lose effect.
