• Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the charger or base by the cord or yank to disconnect from an outlet; instead grasp the charger and pull to disconnect. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not pull cord around sharp edges or corners.

• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces. The unit should be placed on the floor away from sinks and hot surfaces.

• Do not use an extension cord. Plug the charger directly into an electrical outlet.

• Use the charger only in a standard electrical outlet (120V/60Hz).

• Do not attempt to use the charger with any other product; do not attempt to charge this product with any other charger. Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to recharge.

Mounting accessories (figures A & B)

The 2-in-1 nozzle / brush tool (14) has a brush that can be folded forward for dusting and upholstery cleaning. The pet hair cleaning tool (13) is for use when vacuuming pet hair and/or ground-in debris from carpeted or upholstery surfaces.

WARNING: Injury to

pets. Do not use pet hair cleaning tool directly on animals.

The crevice tool (11) allows for vacuuming in narrow and hard to-reach places.

• To remove an accessory, press the accessory clip (10) and remove the accessory.

To unwrap and extend the handle and hose:

The handle and hose can be unwrapped from the main appliance for extended reach when cleaning. Grab the handle where the arrows indicate and lift upwards. Unwrap the handle and hose from the main appliance. The hose can extend up to approximately 4 feet (1.21m). To place the handle and hose back onto the main appliance, wrap the hose back underneath and around the vac making sure that the hose fits between the two “feet” of the appliance. Align the handle with its cradle and click back into place. The handle (2) can be removed from the hose allowing the accessories to be connected directly to the hose cuff (16) when desired.

To remove the handle:

• Unclip the handle (2) from the appliance.

• Rotate the locking ring (3) counterclockwise to release the clips.

• Pull the hose away from the handle (2).

• Fit the accessory directly to the hose cuff (16).

To refit the handle:

• Remove the accessory from the hose.

• Push the hose into the handle (2). Rotate locking ring (3) clockwise until it clicks into place.

Fitting the accessory caddy (figure C)

When not in use, accessories can be stored in the accessory caddy (12). The accessory caddy can be removed if necessary.

• To install the accessory caddy (12) push it onto the lugs on the body of the appliance until it clicks into place. NOTE: Caddy only fits on one side of the appliance.

• To remove the accessory caddy (12) grasp either of the rounded sides and pull it away from the base of the appliance.

Operation

Before first use, the batteries must be charged for at least 21 hours.

• Connect the appliance to the charger for a minimum of 21 hours.

• Charge the batteries as described below.

You may need to charge/discharge the appliance a minimum of 5 times in order to achieve the best running time performance.

Charging the battery (figure D)

WARNING: Charge

only at ambient temperatures between 50°F (10°C) and 104°F (40°C). The charger supplied with this product is intended to be plugged in such that it is correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position.

To charge the appliance:

• Make sure that the appliance is switched

off. The battery will not be charged with the on/off power switch (1) in the on position.

• Insert the charger plug into the charging

inlet (6) in the base.

• Plug the charger (15) into a standard 120

Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet.

• The charging indicator (8) will be lit.

• For the first charging, leave the appliance

to charge for at least 21 hours.

• When charging is complete, disconnect the charger from th outlet first, then

disconnect the charger plug from the appliance. While charging, the charger may become warm. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. While it is safe to leave the appliance connected to the charger indefinitely, to reduce power consumption, we recommend unplugging the charger after 24 hours. The charging indicator will be lit as long as the appliance is connected to the pluggedin charger.

Switching on and off

• To switch the appliance on, slide the on/off switch (1) to the right to position 1.

• To switch the appliance off, slide the on/off switch (1) to the left until it clicks into the

off position.

Vacuuming

• When operating the appliance, make sure that the hose is not trapped, twisted or

blocked. Two cleaning modes:

1. You can vacuum with the handle (2) and hose (4) wrapped around the main

appliance. Cleaning in this mode is great for quick pick-ups because the vac is in it's most compact form.

2. You can vacuum with the handle (2) and hose (4) unwrapped from the main

appliance allowing you to reach up to approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) from the appliance.

• with handle and hose unwrapped the appliance can be carried using the built-in

handle on the main appliance.

• the handle can also be removed from the hose so that you can connect an

accessory directly to the hose cuff (16) when desired.

Hints for optimum use

• When working in confined spaces, the accessory caddy (12) can be removed from

the base.

• When vacuuming stairs, always start at the bottom and work your way up.

• Use the pet hair cleaning tool to agitate and suction up pet hair and ground-in debris

from carpeted or upholstery surfaces.

Optimizing the suction force

In order to keep the suction force optimized, the filters must be cleared regularly during use.

• Turn the filter cleaning wheel (5) two turns clockwise to remove any dust from the filters.

• The fine particulate filter must be cleaned regularly, see “Cleaning the fine particulate filter” section.

Cleaning and maintenance

Emptying the dust container

The dust container must be emptied regularly, preferably after every use.

• Pull the door latch (9) and open the transparent door (7) 180 degrees.

• Tilt unit to empty dirt.

• Tap the back end of unit if debris does not fall out easily or remove filters for better access.

WARNING:Do not, under any circumstances rinse out the dust

container or immerse the appliance in water. A damp cloth and soapy water should be used to clean the exterior of the appliance. Always make sure that the appliance is completely dry before re-use or storing.

Cleaning filters (figures E,F)

Both the plastic pre-filter (17) and the pleated filter (18) are re-usable and should be cleaned regularly.

BATTERY REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL

This product uses nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) rechargeable and recyclable batteries. When the batteries no longer hold a charge, they should be removed from the Vac and recycled. They must not be incinerated or composited.

The batteries can be taken for disposal to a Black & Decker, Company-Owned or Authorized Service Center. Some local retailers are also participating in a national recycling program (see “RBRC the batteries to a Black & Decker Company-Owned or Authorized Service Center, the Center will arrange to recycle old batteries. Or, contact your local municipality for proper disposal instructions in your city/town.

To remove the battery pack for disposal:

1.) First, before attempting to disassemble the product, turn it on and leave it on until the motor completely stops insuring a complete discharge of the batteries.

2.) Invert the appliance to get access to the screws that attach the base.

3.) Remove the four screws (19) shown in (figure G)

4.) Remove the base.

5.) Disconnect the 3-pin connector.

6.) Place the battery in suitable packaging to prevent a short circuit of the battery terminals.

MAINTENANCE

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the vac. Never let any liquid get inside the vac; never immerse any part of the vac into a liquid.

WARNING:Make sure the vacuum is completely dry before

using it.

IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and

adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.

THE RBRC™ SEAL

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickelcadmium batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.

RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickelcadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY.
