Grass Trimmer Congratulations! Your purchase of this Black & Decker Reflex® grass trimmer and lawn edger assures you of years of problem free trimming. The Reflex® not only trims grass and edges the lawn, it also has a unique totally automatic line feed system.

• • Only fit 13 amp 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 below). Brown is for 'Live' (L) and blue is for 'Neutral' (N). 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.
