ENGLISH

Battery disposal

When the mower’s battery requires replacing

discharge the energy from the battery by

running the mower until the motor stops.

Remove the battery from the mower .

Warning: The battery may still have some

residual charge even after the motor stops.

It is therefore necessary to protect against

accidental short circuit of the battery

terminals with uninsulated tools or materials

of a conductive nature, such as, but not

limited to steel wool or aluminium foil.

Batteries must be disposed of in a

responsiblemanner.

This symbol indicates the lead acid battery

contained within this unit must be disposed

of properly and not discarded in everyday

household waste which may be disposed of

in an incinerator or landfill site.

Lead acid batteries can be harmful to the

environment and can explode when exposed

to fire. Do not incinerate.

The battery should be taken to a

Black & Decker service centre, your local

dealer or your local recycling station. If

necessary, contact your local authority for

disposal information.

If the cutting performance begins to deteriorate,

please refer to the “Fault finding” guide.

Warning! It is essential that the red lead is

fitted to the red terminal and the black lead is

fitted to the black terminal when installing a

new battery.

How to use your mower (Fig. E)

Important! Always observe all the

relevant warnings when using your

machine.

Warning! Never attempt to operate your

machine with one hand. You must guide

your machine with both hands.

Safety key

•In order to prevent accidental start-up or

unauthorised use of your cordless

mower, a removable safety key has been

incorporated into the design of your

mower. The mower will be completely

disabled when this safety key has been

removed from the mower.

•Always use the grassbox provided.

Warning! Always remove the safety key

from mower when leaving it unattended,

even for a short period of time.

•Your safety key will be found in the

parts pack (plus one spare fuse).

Starting

•Insert the safety key into position and

push fully home.

E1 •Tilt the handle downwards to slightly raise

the front of your mower and to reduce

the risk of lawn damage whilst starting,

depress the safety lock-off button on the

switchbox and whilst still depressed pull

the switch lever towards you. Your

mower will start and you can now allow

the lock-off button to be released and

lower your mower to its proper cutting

position, and commence cutting using

both hands to guide it.

•To turn the mower off, just release the

lever.Thespring-loaded “snap-action”

lever will relocate itself back into its original

positioninside theswitch housing.

Note: Your mower has 360º rotating wheels

for maximum manoeuverability. The rear

wheels can be locked into position for

straight, accurate, cutting as follows:

E2 •Push the mower forwards until all the

wheels rotate towards the rear of the

mower.

E3 •Pull the locking lever on the left-hand side

of the mower until the ratchet engages.

E4 •To unlock the wheels push the release

buttonforwards.

E5 •Should the lever fully engage on the

ratchet, but the rear wheels not lock into

place, then release the lever, unscrew the

cable adjustment by one turn and re-

engage the lever and ratchet. Repeat

until the wheels fully lock into position.

Your mower will continue to operate whilst

you are pulling the switch lever. To stop your

mower release the switch lever.

When you have finished using your mower

we recommend that you clean all debris from

it before putting it away. Refer to the

‘Careand maintenance’ section.

Note: To obtain the best results cut your

lawn or grassed area regularly and do not

cut when the grass is wet.

If, when mowing, loose grass is seen to be

scattered from beneath the mower, the grass-

bag is probably full and should be emptied.

Manoeuverability (Fig. D)

Your mower has fully rotating wheels and

as such is capable of manoeuvering around

trees posts and other objects. It also allows

accurate mowing of contoured features in

your garden like flower beds.

Formaximum manoeuverability releasethe

rear wheel locking mechanism by pushing

the release button forwards.

Height of cut adjustment (Fig. F)

Warning! Remove the safety key before making

any adjustment and give the blade time to stop

rotating:the cutting blades are sharp.

F1 •Flip the lever outwards and hold it firmly.

•Using the lever, rotate the knob to set

the desired height of cut.

•Flip the lever back to lock the knob.

F2 •To produce a stripe on your lawn, first slide

the striping flap in position and fix with the

2 screws provided, then adjust the height

of cut to a low position (UK only).

Note: For longer or uneven growth lawns

(particularly the first cut of the season) first

use a higher height setting and then finish

with a second cut to the desired length.

Maintenance of blades

The steel blade is designed to give a fine

finish in long or tough grass.

If, however, because of damage or wear

the cutting performance deteriorates, then

the mower may require a new blade, or at

least the existing blade to be sharpened.

We recommend that the steel blade is

sharpened or a new blade fitted at the

beginning of the season.

Replacement blades are available from

Black & Decker dealers and service centres.

Warning! When fitting a new blade use

only the Black & Decker replacement part

specified for your machine - do not attempt

to fit any other blade.

Fitting new blade (Fig. G)

Observe all the relevant warnings before

changing the blade.

Warning! Remove safety key before

changing the blade.

G•Turn your mower over on its side so

that the underside of the cutter cover is

exposed.
