Electrical Safety; Carton Contents; Overview (Fig. A) - Black & Decker GTC2451 Handbuch

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
x
replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised
Black & Decker Service Centre in order to
avoid a hazard.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Your charger has been designed for a specific
mains voltage. Always check that the mains voltage
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Your charger is double insulated in
accordance with EN 60335; therefore no
earth wire is required.
Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only)
Should your mains plug need replacing and you
x
are competent to do this, proceed as instructed
below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorised
repair agent or a qualified electrician.
Disconnect the plug from the supply.
x
Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug
x
with bared copper conductors is dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.
Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs
x
fitted with a 3 A fuse (1).
The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked
x
at the connection points of most good quality
plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points
in the plug (see above). Brown is for Live (L) (2),
blue is for Neutral (N) (4).
Before replacing the top cover of the mains
x
plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is
holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly
and that the leads are correctly fixed at the
terminal screws.
After replacing the fuse in the moulded plug,
x
make sure that the fuse cover is refitted.
Do not use the plug if the fuse cover is missing
or damaged.
Never use a light socket.
