Electrical safety

#

Your charger is double insulated; therefore no 

earth wire is required. Always check that the 

mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the 

rating plate. Never attempt to replace the charger 

unit with a regular mains plug.

u

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the 

manufacturer or an authorised Black & Decker Service 

Centre in order to avoid a hazard.
