Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with
dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the air
vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved dust mask
when performing this procedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals
may weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a
liquid.

Turn the mower off, let the blade come to a stop and remove the power source being the mains cord plug from the mains or the batteries.

Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the mower. Clean out any
clippings which may have accumulated on the underside of
the deck. After several uses, check all exposed fasteners for
tightness.

Preventing corrosion
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. If you mow in areas
where fertilizers or chemicals have been used, the mower
should be cleaned immediately afterward as follows:
Turn the mower off and unplug mower. Wipe all exposed parts
with a damp cloth

Maintenance
Your BLACK+DECKER corded/cordless appliance/tool has
been designed to operate over a long period of time with a
minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool/appliance care and regular
cleaning.
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance on corded/
cordless power tools:
- Switch off and unplug the appliance/tool.
- Or run the battery down completely if it is integral and then
