The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be
marked at the connection points of most
good quality plugs. Attach the wires to
their respective points in the plug

Before replacing the top cover of the

Note: Do not wire an extension cable
directly into your machine yourself.
Instead, take your machine to your
nearest Black & Decker service centre.
Increased safety can be obtained by having
a qualified electrician install a high sensitivity
(30mA) circuit breaker in the house wiring.
If you do not wish to have one installed,
then we strongly recommend that the
electrical power to the machine be supplied
through a high sensitivity residual current
device (RCD). The RCD is designed to
provide a high degree of personal protection
against harmful electric current should fault
conditions occur.
Warning! The use of an RCD or other circuit

the machine from the safety instructions and
safe working practices given in this manual.
We recommend that if your mains cable
is cut or requires replacement that you
return your machine to a Black & Decker
service centre. When repaired, your
machine will be tested for electrical safety.
Cable connection system (UK only)
Black & Decker continually make every effort to
achieve the highest standards in performance,
quality and reliability and recommend the use of a
new outdoor cable connection system.
The new system gives additional protection against
the possibility of water or moisture entering into the
cable connector during normal use.
Note: The new connection system does not release
the operator of the machine from the safety
precautions and safe working practices given in the
instruction leaflet. Particular attention is drawn to the
coupler system as being 'weather resistant' and not
suitable for immersion, submersion or being
subjected to water jets. Care should be taken to
prevent the cable from lying or trailing through pools
of water or from splashing with hose pipes.
