SAFETY KEY
WARNING: SHARP MOVING BLADE.
In order to prevent accidental start-up or unauthorized use of your Cordless Mower, a removeable Safety Key A-7 has been incorporated into
the design of your mower. The mower will be completely disabled when the Safety Key has been removed from the mower. With the Safety Key
removed, you will have access to the charger receptacle A-9 and red A-1 and green A-2 charge indication lights. NOTE: THE SAFETY KEY HAS
A HOLE IN THE CENTRE TO ALLOW FOR STORAGE ON A NAIL, OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
TO TURN MOWER ON
Insert Safety Key A-7 into the housing of the motor shroud A-8 and push down, until safety key is fully seated inside housing.
The mower is now operational and can be started by activating the switch system.
ON-OFF SWITCH LEVER
Your mower is equipped with a special on-off switch system. To operate the system, first grasp the bail handle G-1 and pull it to the handlebar
G-2. Then firmly push the switch lever G-3 forward until it snaps into the “on” position. The spring-loaded “snap-action” lever will relocate itself
back into its original position. To turn the mower off, just release the bail handle.
Once the bail handle has returned to the original position it will activate the “Automatic Braking Mechanism”. The motor is electrically braked
and the mower blade will stop rotating in 3 seconds or less.
MEETS CPSC SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Black and Decker Mowers conform to the safety standards of the American National Standards Institute, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission. The Blade turns when the motor is running.
