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, an authorized Black & Decker Service Centre or an equally qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. If the supply cord is replaced by an equally qualified person, but not authorized by Black & Decker, the warranty will lose effect.
Electric safety can be further improved by using a highsensitivity 30 mA residual current device (RCD).
