must be replaced by a special cord or
assembly available from Black & Decker or a
recognised service agent (Black & Decker
part number: 372832-01 - UK only and part
number: 370017-04 - Australia and New
Zealand only).
The Black & Decker policy is one of continuous
improvement to their product and as such they

Double insulation
Your machine is double insulated. This
means that all external metal parts are
electrically isolated from the power supply.
This is achieved by placing an extra
insulation barrier between the electrical and
mechanical parts. Double insulation means
greater electrical safety and obviates the
necessity of having the machine earthed.
Electrical safety (UK only)
Your machine should always be switched off at the
mains before disconnecting any plug and socket
connector or extension cables.
Fuse replacement
If your machine is supplied with cable, fitted with a
non-re-wireable plug:
•
The plug is fitted with a 13 amp fuse which is the
recommended fuse for your machine.
•
Only use replacement fuses which are approved
to BS1362.
•
When changing the fuse in your plug, always
ensure the fuse cover is refitted. If the fuse cover
is missing or damaged do not use the plug.
Note: Fuses do not give personal protection against
electric shock.
Plug replacement
•
Disconnect the plug from the supply.
•
Cut off the plug and dispose of immediately.
Insertion of a detached plug into a 13 amp
socket outlet may result in electric shock.
•
Only fit BS1363A approved plugs fitted with the
correctly rated fuse.
•
The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked
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)
and blue is for "Neutral" (N).

Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug
ensure that the cable restraint is holding the
outer sheath on the cable firmly and that the two
leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.

to the earth pin marked "E" or
Note: Do not wire an extension cable directly into
your machine yourself. Instead, take your machine to
your nearest Black & Decker service centre.
Increased safety can be obtained by having a
qualified electrician install a high sensitivity (30mA)
circuit breaker in the house wiring. If you do not have
such a circuit breaker installed, or you do not wish to
have one installed, then we strongly recommend that
the electrical power to the machine be supplied
through a high sensitivity residual current device
(RCD). The RCD is designed to provide a high degree
of personal protection against harmful electric current
should fault conditions occur.
Warning! The use of an RCD or other circuit
!
breaker unit does not release the operator of
the machine from the safety instructions and
safe working practices given in this manual.
Assembly prior to use (Fig. B & F)
Vacuum tube assembly (Fig. B1)
•
B
Vacuum tubes must be assembled
together before use.
•
To ease assembly apply soapy water
solution to joint area.
•
Align location ribs on upper (4) and lower
(5) tubes.
•
Push both parts firmly together until clip
is engaged, as per moulded detail.
(Never operate apart).
•
In the interests of safety, it is not intended
for the tubes to be separated once
assembled.
