• To unlock the wheels push the release

button forwards.

• 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

‘Care and maintenance’ section.

Note: To obtain the best results cut your

lawn or grass area regularly and do not cut

when the grass is wet.

If, when mowing, loose grass is seen

to be scattering from beneath your mower, the

grassbag is probably full and should be emptied.

Overload protection (GF1838 only)

The GF1838 is fitted with an internal overload

protector which will switch off the motor if the

unit is being used in excessively long grass at

a low height of cut, or if it is being forced into

long grass. If the motor stops in these

conditions there is not a fault with the mower.

It should be left to cool for 10 minutes and

then tilted slightly and run without moving for

1 to 2 minutes. The height of the cut should

be set to maximum and after cutting at that

height be reduced to the desired level.

Manoeuverability (Fig. E)

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.

For maximum manoeuverability release the

rear wheel locking mechanism by pushing

the release button forwards.

When manoeuvering your mower always use

the cable restraint and ensure that the cable

is out of the way of the desired cutting area.

Height of cut adjustment (Fig. F)

Warning! Disconnect your mower from the

electrical supply before making any

adjustment and give the blade time to stop

rotating: the cutting blades are sharp.

• 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.

• 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.

Blade maintenance

The steel blade is designed to give a fine finish in

long or tough grass. The blade will continue to

cut even when it has become blunt or burred.

There is no need for it to be razor sharp.

If, however, because of damage or wear the

cutting performance deteriorates, then your

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 each season.

Replacement blades are available from

Black␣ &␣ Decker service agents.

Warning! When fitting a new blade use only

the Black␣ &␣ Decker replacement part

specified for your mower - do not attempt to

fit any other blade.

Fitting a new blade (Fig. G)

Observe all the relevant warnings before

changing the blade.

Warning! Disconnect your mower from the

electrical supply before changing the blade.

• Turn your mower over on its side so that

the underside of the cutter cover is

exposed.

• Using a cloth placed over the blade or

heavy duty gloves to protect your hands,

grip the blade and, using the spanner

provided, loosen and remove the nut

from the motor spindle. Turn the nut in an

anti-clockwise direction to loosen it.

• The blade can now be replaced and the

washer and bolt reassembled.

Note: Do not remove the impeller for any

reason.

Note: Some mowers are fitted with a

clutch washer, between the blade nut and

the blade, which must be reassembled at

all times.

Handy hints

• On long grass, above 10cm (4 inches), use two

cuts to get a close finish. We recommend that the
