placing insulation barriers between the
electrical and mechanical components making it
unnecessary for the tool to be earthed.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place
of normal safety precautions when operating the
tool. The insulation system is for added protection
against injury resulting from a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage given on
the rating plate. The tool is fitted with a two-core cable
and plug.
MAINS PLUG REPLACEMENT (UK ONLY)
Should the mains plug need replacing and you are
competent to do this, proceed as instructed below.
If you are in doubt, contact a Black & Decker service
agent or a qualified electrician.
• Disconnect the plug from the power supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of safely. A plug with
bared copper conductors is very dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit BS1363A approved plugs fitted with the
correctly rated fuse.
Note: Fuses do not give personal protection against
electric shock.
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at
the connection point of most good quality plugs. Attach
the wires to their respective points in the plug (see
diagram). Brown is L (live) and blue is N (neutral).

• Before replacing the top cover of the plug ensure
that the cable restraint is holding the outer sheath of
the cable firmly and that the two leads are correctly
fixed at the terminal screws. If the fuse cover is
missing or damaged do not use the plug.

REPLACEMENT OF THE SUPPLY CORD
(AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND ONLY)
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
EXTENSION CABLES
Up to 30m (100ft) of 3-core extension cable can be used
without undue loss of power. Note: An extension cable
should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of
an improper extension cable could result in a risk of
fire and electric shock. If an extension cable must be
used, make sure it is properly wired, contains the
correct rated fuse as recommended in its literature and
is in good electrical condition.
UNWANTED TOOLS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Should you find one day that the tool needs
replacement or is of no further use, think of the
protection of the environment. Black & Decker
service agents will accept old tools and will
dispose of them in an environmentally safe way.
