GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL TOOLS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
• ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION – Wear safety glasses or
goggles at all times when this unit is in use. Also use face
or dust mask. Safety glasses are available at extra cost at
your local BLACK+DECKER Service Center or authorized
service facility.
• READ and follow all instructions.
• DO NOT place inlet or outlet of vacuum near eyes or ears
when operating.
• THIS APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH DOUBLE INSULATION.
Use only identical replacement parts. See instructions for
servicing of double insulated appliances.
• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, the unit should be stored
in a dry, high or locked-up place - out of reach of children.
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
• DO NOT pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such
as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
• MAINTAIN TOOL WITH CARE. Keep fan area clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for proper maintenance.
• DO NOT attempt to repair the blower/vac. To assure
product safety and reliability, repairs, maintenance, and
adjustments should be performed by BLACK+DECKER
service centers or authorized service stations, always using
BLACK+DECKER replacement parts.
• DO NOT operate blower/vac in a gaseous or explosive
atmosphere. Motors in these tools normally spark, and the
sparks might ignite fumes.
• DO NOT use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids
such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.
• USE EXTRA CARE when cleaning on stairs.
• DO NOT leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from
outlet when not in use and before servicing.
• DO NOT allow to be used as a toy. Close attention
is necessary when used by or near children. Not
recommended for use by children.
• DO NOT attempt to clear clogs from tool without first
unplugging it.
• USE ONLY as described in this manual. Use only
manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• DO NOT use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is
not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
• DO NOT pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, or pull
cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.
• DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the
plug, not the cord.
• DO NOT put any objects into openings. Do not use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and
everything that may reduce air flow.
• KEEP hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body
away from openings and moving parts.
• TURN OFF all controls before unplugging.
• DO NOT vacuum water, other liquids, or wet objects. Never
immerse any part of the tool in liquid.

• INSPECT THE AREA before using the tool. Remove all debris
and hard objects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can
ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or damage
during operation. As a vacuum, the tool is designed to pick
up dry material such as leaves, grass, small twigs, and bits of
paper. Do not vacuum stones, gravel, metal, broken glass, etc.

WARNING: Shock Hazard. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock; do not expose to
rain, do not use on wet surfaces. Store indoors.
WARNING: Cut Hazard. Turn off and
unplug unit, then wait until fan stops or at least 10 seconds
before removing the blower or vacuum tube assemblies.
Servicing of Double Insulated Appliances
Your Blower/Vac is double-insulated to give you added safety.
In a double insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double insulated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double
insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system and should be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance
must be identical to the parts they replace. A double insulated
appliance is marked with the words double insulated or
“double insulation”. The symbol (square within a square) may
also be marked on the appliance.
Safety Rules and Instructions:
Extension Cords
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury due to a loose electrical connection between the
appliance’s plug and extension cord, firmly and fully attach
the appliance plug to the extension cord. Periodically check
the connection while operating to ensure it is fully attached.
Do not use an extension cord that provides a loose
connection. A loose connection may result in overheating,
fire, and increases the risk of a burning.
Double insulated tools have 2-wire cords and can be used with
2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed extension
cords should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A. in Canada). If the extension
will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor
use. Any cord marked as outdoor can also be used for indoor
work. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of power and
overheating. 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. When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. Before using an extension cord, inspect it for
loose or exposed wires, damaged insulation, and defective fittings.
Make any needed repairs or replace the cord if necessary.
• To reduce the risk of disconnection of the appliance cord
from the extension cord during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in figure B, or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or
connectors described in this manual. (The manual
shall also include a statement indicating that devices
for retaining extension cords are available. The name
and address of the manufacturer or brand-name
distributor shall be included.); or
iii) Secure the extension cord to the appliance plug as
shown or described in the Operating Instructions.
• Maintain Appliance With Care – Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged.

Safety Rules and Instructions:
Polarized Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This equipment must
be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or 3 wire extension cord.
Polarized connections will fit together only one way. Make sure
that the receptacle end of the extension cord has large and small
blade slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable
extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the
outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in any way.
