Fitting your own extension cable
When making your own extension cable, fit a
x
13 Amp plug to one end of the cable
(see "Mains plug replacement") and a female
connector to the other end. For wiring
instructions, see those supplied with the
female connector.
A male connector (see below) is already
x
attached to the power supply cable on your
tool. It is non-rewireable and should not be
removed. If the connector is damaged and
needs replacement, take the tool to a
Black & Decker service centre.
female connector
Never wire an extension cable with
anything other than the female connector
supplied and a 13 Amp BS1363A
approved plug with the recommended
fuse. Never wire a male connector to the
extension cable. Never wire an extension
cable with a plug of any kind at each end
of the cable. This is extremely dangerous
and results in the pins being live, which
may cause a fatal electric shock.
