An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

WARNING: Before assembly, make sure the bail
handle is released and the safety key is removed.
Assembling the grass catcher
(Fig. B, B1, B2, B3)
WARNING: Under normal usage, the collection
bag assembly is subject to deterioration and wear
and should, therefore, be frequently checked for
replacement. Any replacement assembly should
be checked for compliance with BLACK+DECKER
recommendations.
1. Before starting to assemble the grass bag to the frame,
check that the grass bag and frame are similar to Fig. B.
2. Slide the grass bag onto the frame as shown in Fig. B1.
3. Assemble the top clips to the frame as shown in Fig. B2,
then assemble the two side clips and the bottom clip last.
4. Completely assembled grass catcher is shown in Fig. B3.
