Safety instructions
Read all of this manual carefully, observing all the recommended safety instructions before, during and after using your machine. Maintain your machine in good working order.
Familiarise yourself with the controls on your machine before attempting to operate it, but above all, be sure you know how to stop your machine in an emergency.
Retain this manual and all other literature supplied with your machine for future reference.
Electrical connection
•Your machine is designed for use on AC (mains) electrical supplies only. Do not attempt to use on any other supply.
•Plug your machine into a power point, never in a light socket.
•Do not leave your machine unattended whilst it is connected to the electrical supply.
•Always switch off and remove the plug
from the mains before cleaning, inspecting or adjusting any part of the trimmer, or if the supply cord has become damaged or entangled.
Double insulation
Your machine is double insulated. This means that all external metal parts are electrically isolated from the power supply. This is achieved by placing an extra insulation barrier between the electrical and mechanical parts. Double insulation means greater electrical safety and obviates the necessity of having the machine earthed.
Power supply cord
•The power supply cord should be regularly inspected for signs of damage or ageing and only used if in good condition.
•Always keep the power supply cord away from the cutting line (9), be aware of its position at all times.
•Never carry your machine by the cord or jerk the cord to remove the plug from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oils and sharp edges.
•Have damaged cords replaced completely by your nearest Black & Decker service centre. Do not attempt to do this yourself as the switch handle is not customer serviceable.
