• Using a cloth placed over the blade or

heavy duty gloves to protect your

hands, grip the blade and, using a

spanner, 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 nut reassembled.

Note: Some mowers are fitted with a clutch

washer, between the blade nut and the blade,

which must be reassembled at all times.

Overload protection (Fig. H)

• Your machine is fitted with overload

protection. If you work too quickly in

long grass, or in heavy conditions, you

may overload the motor. If this occurs,

the safety key fuse will blow, causing the

machine to stop.

• This is not a fault of the machine but a

safety device to protect your machine.

• When this occurs, remove the safety key

and inspect the fuse link. If link is broken,

the fuse has blown and needs to be

replaced with a new fuse. One of which is

supplied as a spare in your parts pack.

Alternatively, you can purchase a new key

from any Black & Decker service centre.

To obtain the best results:

• Cut the grass regularly.

• Do not cut wet grass.

• When the grass is longer than 10cm

(4 inches), it is advisable to go over the

lawn on a high cut setting and then finish

using a lower setting.

Care and maintenance

The advice given in this section covers the general care

and maintenance of the main body of your mower.

Advice relating to the blades is given in “Maintenance of

blades”. Advice relating to the maintenance and

storage of the battery is given in “Battery information”.

• Always keep your machine clean and free from

grass cuttings, especially the underside of the

cutter deck and the air vents.

• At the end of each cutting session we

recommend that the build up of grass on the

underside of the cutter cover is removed using a

blunt scraper, the spanner included with this

mower may be used for this purpose.

• Clean all plastic components with a damp cloth.

• Caution! Do not use solvents or cleaning fluids

as these may damage the plastic components of

your mower.

Hints for optimum use

• When cutting long grass, set the

mower to the highest height of cut.

• Fully charge the battery before first use.

• Charge the battery immediately after use.

• Before storing, fully charge the battery.

• Do not store the mower or battery at

extreme temperatures.

• If the battery is stored for a long period

of time, regularly charge it.

• Note that after prolonged storage the

battery will only attain full capacity after

several discharge/charge cycles.
