FLIP-OVER HANDLE FEATURE (FIGURE 8)

of the mower, the cord remains on the same side of the mower and out of the
way.

WHEEL HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (FIGURE 9)
1. BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, TURN OFF, UNPLUG MOWER AND
WAIT FOR BLADE TO STOP.
2. Your mower features the Black & Decker single lever wheel height adjust system.
This system will adjust all four wheels at the same time. Mower adjusts from 1 to
3 1/2” with six increments.
3. Place your left hand on the height adjust handle and your right hand on the
lower handle as shown in Figure 9.
4. Pull height adjust handle away from mower, and re-set in the desired height
adjust position. (See recommended cut height by grass type under

mower lowers the cut height, and rotating towards the rear raises the cut height.

DO NOT connect the extension cord to power source until you have finished
reading this manual and you are ready to start mowing.
1. The extension cord must be polarized and will only plug in one way, orient the
wide slot with the wide blade in the switch housing.
2. Loop the extension cord and push the loop up through the hole in the switch
housing.
3. Pull the extension cord on the side of the loop that is plugged into the switch
housing and remove all the slack in this section of the extension cord.
4. Place the loop over the strain relief tab on the switch housing and pull the
extension cord so the loop draws down around the strain relief tab as shown
in the detail. Double check to see that you did not loosen the extension cord.
SWITCH USE (FIGURE 6)
Your mower is equipped with a special switch. To operate the switch, insert your
finger into the opening (Figure 6) and push the lever out so that you can grasp it
with your other hand. Pull the lever back to turn the unit on and hold it against the
mower handle to keep it running. To turn the mower off, just release the lever. The
spring loaded "SNAP ACTION" lever will quickly turn the mower off.
CAUTION: NEVER ATTEMPT TO OVERRIDE THE OPERATION OF THIS SWITCH.
EXTENSION CORD TO ELECTRICAL OUTLET (FIGURE 7)
1. Place most of the extension cord close to the electrical outlet, out of the path of
the mower. Attach extension cord to mower.
2. Start in direction where extension cord side of mower is closest to the outlet.
Begin mowing in the area closest to the outlet and mow in a back and forth
manner. When you come to the end of a row being cut, release the power
switch and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Pull the handle
release lever and flip the handle to the opposite side of the mower. Release
the handle lever and ensure the handle is secure. Pull power switch to re-start.
Note the cord is kept on cut portion of lawn and out of the path of the mower.
