• Do not use Dustbuster

dry hand vacs outdoors or on wet surfaces.

• 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 or mounted 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.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

• Do not insert accessories when unit is running.

• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.

• Do not put any object into unit openings. Do not use with any openings blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. B)

The Dustbuster can be mounted to most walls when using the Wall Mount System included with this product. Fix the wall mount within reach of an electrical outlet (Figure B). Mount securely using appropriate length screws into framing studs or spring type wall anchors into wallboard, etc. To charge, mount unit into place using wall mount hook at the top of the handle. Next plug power supply plug into nearby 120 volt electrical outlet. Ensure cord is not too tight so as to pull unit off wall mount. The unit can also be charged when placed in a convenient position.

RECHARGING (FIG. C)

From new, the rechargable cells of the product need a minimum charge time of 16 hours to ensure full power. We suggest you fully discharge the product when it is used for the first time as this will help the cells recharge faster. The switch must be in the off (“O”) position, the product will not charge if it is in any other position. While charging, the product may get warm, this is perfectly normal and safe. It can remain on charge indefinitely without damage or danger. It is not possible to “overcharge” the battery cells with the charger provided.

OPERATION (FIG. D)

This product is for dry pick-up only.

To start, slide the On/Off switch forward (i.e. “O”= Off, “I” = On). To stop, slide the switch back. Always return the product to the power supply immediately after use so that it will be ready and fully charged for the next use. Ensure that the product is fully engaged with the power supply plug.

CLEANING THE PRODUCT (FIGS . E-I)

WARNING: Never use the Dustbuster without its filters.

NOTE: The filters are re-usable, do not confuse them with disposable dust bags, and do not

throw them away when the product is emptied. We recommend that you replace the filters every 6-9 months depending on frequency of use.

FIG. E

• Remove the dust bowl by pressing the dust bowl release button and pulling the

bowl down and out. To replace the bowl, place it back onto the handle and click firmly into position.

FIG. F

• Empty the dust from the bowl and wash if necessary (see Fig. H).

• Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. If the liquid, which is a 20-35% solution of potassium hydroxide, gets on the skin (1) wash quickly with soap and water or (2) neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid gets into the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Seek medical attention.

WARNING: Do not look into the air vents when the unit is switched on, as sometimes

there is a possibility of small debris being discharged from the air vents, especially after cleaning / replacement of the filters as debris inside the unit can be disturbed.

How To Use

FIG. G • To remove the filter twist it in a clockwise direction. Shake or lightly brush any loose dust off the filter.

FIG. H

• Wash the filter regularly using warm, soapy water and ensure that it is completely

dry before using it again. The cleaner the filters are, the better the product will perform. It is very important that the filter is correctly in position before use. The dust bowl can also be washed in warm soapy water. Ensure that it is dry before re-attaching.

IMPORTANT: Maximum dust collection will only be obtained with clean filters and an empty dust bowl. If dust begins to fall back out of the product after it is switched off, this indicates that the bowl is full and requires emptying.

FIG. I

• Never immerse the product in water. A damp cloth and soapy water should be used

to clean the exterior of the motor section. Always ensure the product is completely dry before re-use or storing.

ECONOMIC USAGE

• Your product is very economical to charge. While it is charging it uses less than half the amount of electricity used by a light bulb.

• When fully charged, the average effective usage times are between 8-10 minutes.

• It may take several chargings before these times can be achieved.

OTHER INFORMATION

If the product does not work, check the following:

• The power supply plug was correctly plugged in for recharge. ( It feels slightly warm to the touch.)

• The power supply plug is not damaged and is correctly attached to the base.

• The power supply plug is plugged into a working electrical outlet.

ACCESSORIES

Accessories are stored on the product (FIG. J) and are fitted into the nose of the product for use.

BATTERYREMOVALAND DISPOSAL

NOTE: Once removed, the battery cannot be refitted.

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 composted. 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

Seal”). Call your local retailer for details. If you bring 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: (Fig. K)

Insert a flat head screwdriver into the tab area located above the jack plug hole on the bottom of the Dustbuster. Use the screwdriver to pry the heel away from the Dustbuster. Once the heel is removed you will see the batteries in a plastic casing. Remove the safety label from the battery casing and grasp the pull tab to pull the casing out of the unit. If the batteries have leaked or vented, protective gloves should be worn before touching the casing. IMPORTANT: DO NOT remove the batteries from inside the plastic casing. Do not replace with any batteries other than those supplied by Black & Decker.

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.

NOTE: 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 nickel-cadmium 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.

REPLACEMENT FILTERS

For replacement filters use Cat. No. VF48

contiennent des produits chimiques reconnus par l’État de la Californie comme étant cancérogènes et pouvant entraîner des anomalies congénitales et d’autres risques pour la reproduction tels que l’amiante et le plomb contenu dans les peintures au plomb.

AVERTISSEMENT : Afin de minimiser les risques

d’incendie, de secousses électriques ou de blessures.

• Exercer une étroite surveillance lorsqu’on utilise l’appareil près d’un enfant ou que l’appareil est utilisé par ce dernier. Il ne s’agit pas d’un jouet.

• Afin d’éviter les risques de secousses électriques, ne pas immerger l’appareil ni son chargeur.

• Ne pas se servir d’un aspirateur portatif Dustbustermd pour déchets secs afin d’aspirer des liquides, des substances toxiques, des liquides inflammables ou combustibles (de l’essence, par exemple), ni s’en servir dans un endroit renfermant de tels produits.

• Ne pas se servir d’un aspirateur portatif pour déchets secs ou humides pour aspirer des substances toxiques, des liquides inflammables ou combustibles (de l’essence, par exemple), ni s’en servir dans un endroit renfermant de tels produits.

• Ne pas se servir de l’appareil en présence de vapeurs explosives ou inflammables.

• Ne pas utiliser un appareil dont le cordon ou le chargeur est endommagé, ni un appareil qui ne fonctionne pas bien, qui est tombé, endommagé, resté à l’extérieur ou a été immergé. Le confier à un centre de service autorisé.

• Ne pas utiliser un aspirateur portatif Dustbuster

pour déchets secs à l’extérieur ni sur

des surfaces mouillées.

• Manipuler le cordon avec soin. Ne jamais transporter le chargeur ni le socle par le cordon ni tirer sur le cordon pour le débrancher. Saisir plutôt la fiche et tirer dessus.

Éloigner le cordon des surfaces chaudes. Ne pas tirer sur le cordon lorsqu’il est autou d’un coin ou d’un rebord tranchant.

• Ne pas laisser pendre le cordon d’une table ou d’un comptoir, ni le laisser entrer en

contact avec une surface chaude. Placer ou installer l’appareil loin des éviers ou des surfaces chaudes.

• Ne pas utiliser de cordon de rallonge. Brancher le chargeur directement dans une prise.

• Brancher le chargeur seulement dans une prise standard (120 V, 60 Hz).

• Ne pas utiliser le chargeur avec un autre appareil; ni tenter de charger le produit avec un autre chargeur. Utiliser seulement le chargeur fourni par le fabricant.

• Éloigner les cheveux, les vêtements amples et les membres du corps des orifices et des pièces mobiles de l’appareil.

• Ne pas installer d’accessoires lorsque l’appareil fonctionne.

• Ne pas manipuler la fiche ni l’appareil avec les mains mouillées.

• Ne pas insérer d’objets dans les ouvertures del’appareil. Ne pas utiliser l’appareil lorsqu’une de ses ouvertures est bloquée. Enlever la poussière, la charpie, les cheveux et toute autre matière

susceptible de réduire le débit d’air.

• Ne pas faire fonctionner l’appareil sans filtre. Remplacer sans tarder le filtre s’il est endommagé.

• Ne pas se servir de l’appareil pour aspirer dessubstances en combustion, comme des mégots allumés, des allumettes ou des cendres chaudes provenant d’un foyer.

• Ne pas utiliser l’appareil sur des surfaces chaudes ni près de celles-ci.

• Faire preuve de prudence lorsqu’on nettoie les escaliers.

• L’appareil est conçu pour une utilisation domestique seulement et non industrielle ou commerciale.

• Utiliser l’appareil seulement de la manière décrite dans le présent guide. Utiliser seulement les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant.

• Débrancher le chargeur avant de le nettoyer.

• L’appareil renferme des piles rechargeables au nickel-cadmium. Ne pas incinérer les piles. La chaleur des flammes peut les faire exploser.

• Il peut se produire une légère fuite du liquide excitateur des piles dans des conditions extrêmes. Toutefois, si ce liquide (solution d’hydrogène de potassium à 20-35 p. 100) atteint la peau, il faut :

1) laver immédiatement à l’eau et au savon ou 2) neutraliser à l’aide d’un acide doux comme du jus de citron ou du vinaigre. Si le liquide excitateur atteint les yeux, rincer immédiatement à l’eau claire pendant au moins dix minutes et consulter un médecin.

AVERTISSEMENT: Ne pas regarder dans les évents lorsque l’appareil est en marche,

car il arrive parfois que de petits débris s’en échappent, surtout après un nettoyage ou un remplacement de filtre qui aurait tendance à les libérer.
