Electrical safety

This tool is double insulated; therefore no earth wire
is required. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer or an authorised Black & Decker Service
Centre in order to avoid a hazard.
Voltage drops (VO1700/VO1700A/VO1710)
Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops. Under

unfavourable power supply conditions, other equipment
may be affected. For example, artificial lighting will show
a temporary drop in magnitude when the machine is
switched on.
If the system impedance of the power supply is lower than

0,45 Ω, disturbances are unlikely to occur.


