How to use your mower (Fig. E & G) ! Observe all of the relevant warnings when using your mower. G G We recommend the directional method of operation to obtain the maximum cutting performance from your mower and to reduce the risk of the trailing extension lead from entering the cutting path. • Place the bulk of the supply cable on the lawn close to the starting point (Fig. G, position 1). • Hold the handle assembly with both hands. Your switch box incorporates a cable restraint. To fix the cable to the restraint, proceed as follows: • Bring the socket end of the extension cable from behind and connect it to your mower plug. • Form a loop on your extension cable close to the switch box. Push the loop through the slot from the opposite side of the restraint hook (Fig. E1), position the loop over the h ook and pull the cable back through the slot. Your cable will now be restrained. E1 • • The extension cable should now fall away from your mower and behind the operator, ready for use. ! Warning! Do not attempt to operate your mower with one hand - you must guide it with both hands. Tilt the handle downwards to slightly E2 • raise the front of your mower and to reduce the risk of lawn damage whilst starting, depress the safety lock-off button (18) on the switchbox (7) and whilst still depressed pull the switch lever (8) towards you. Your mower will start and you can now allow the lock-off button to be released and lower your 5 GR380/85 UK p01-11 5 20/3/00, 3:58 pm mower to its proper cutting position and commence cutting. • Proceed down the cutting area as shown in Fig. G (a), working from position 1 towards position 2 and, on reaching position 2, turn to the right and proceed towards position 3. Continue to the end of the cutting area, turn to the left and proceed towards position 4. Continue in the same manner as shown in Fig G, always working away from the cable. Do not adopt the method as shown in Fig. G (b), working towards the cable, as this is dangerous practice. Your mower will continue to operate whilst you are depressing 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 grasscutting, loose grass is seen to be scattering from beneath your mower, the grassbox is probably full and should be emptied. 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. F) ! ! Observe all the relevant warnings before changing the blade. Warning! Disconnect your mower from the electrical supply before changing the blade. 6 F F • Turn your mower over on its side so that the underside of the cutter deck 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 (16) 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: Do not remove the impeller (17) 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 first cut should be taken with the blade set at maximum height of cut and the second taken with it set at medium or close. This will prove to be easier and give a better overall finish to your lawn. 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”. ! ! Warning! Do not use a cable which shows signs of damage. Fit a new cable completely -do not make any permanent or temporary repairs. • Always keep your mower clean and free from grass cuttings, especially the underside of the cutter deck and the air vents. • Check all electrical cables at regular intervals, looking for signs of wear, abrasion or other damage. • 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 scra...
