Installation instructions (Fig. B)
B |
Fix the charging base vertically to the wall using the |
screws and plugs supplied, as illustrated,and within reach |
|
|
of a power socket. Plug in and place the product into |
|
position. The charging base can also be fixed, or simply |
|
placed, in a convenient horizontal position. |
|
Note: Avoid damaging the cable while fixing the holder to |
|
the wall or when removing or replacing the product from |
|
the holder. |
Recharging
From new, the rechargeable 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 position; the product will not charge if it is in any other position. Whilst charging, the charger will get warm; this is perfectly normal and safe, and your product can remain on charge indefinitely without damage or danger. It is not possible to “overcharge” the battery cells with the charger provided.
How to use (Figs. C & D)

Burst of power |
|
Where applicable, your product has two power settings; |
|
‘I’ for normal power and ‘MAX’ for a burst of additional |
|
power to do tougher jobs, activated by sliding the switch |
D |
forward as far as it will go. |
Always return the product to its charging base immediately |
|
after use so that it will be ready and fully charged for the |
|
|
next job. The switch must be in the off position; the |
|
product will not charge if it is in any other position. Ensure |
|
that the product is fully engaged on the charging base. |
Cleaning the product (Fig. E - H)
|
Warning! Never use the product without its filter. |
|
Note: The filter bag is re-usable; do not confuse it with a |
|
disposable dust bag and do not throw it away when the |
|
product is emptied. When the filter becomes worn or |
|
damaged, you can obtain a replacement from your local |
E |
Black & Decker service centre. |
• To clean the filter bag, first remove the dust bowl by |
|
pressing the release button and then take out the filter |
|
|
bag using the plastic grip. Shake or brush any loose |
|
dust off the filter bag. Wash it regularly using warm, |
|
soapy water and ensure it is completely dry before |
|
replacement. The cleaner the filter bag, the better the |
|
product will perform. It is very important that the filter |
F |
bag is correctly in position before use. |
• To clean the dust bowl, remove the filter bag, empty |
|
the bowl and wash if necessary. |
G H
Important! Maximum dust collection will only be obtained with a clean filter bag 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. Never immerse the product in water. It is only safe to immerse the detached dust bowl section 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. Whilst 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 8-11 minutes.
•It may take several chargings before these times can be achieved.
Other information
If the product does not work, check the following:
•The charger was correctly plugged in for recharge.
•The lead is not damaged and is correctly attached to the base.
•The mains power is working.
If all are satisfactory and the product still does not work, refer to the guarantee or service and repair section of this leaflet.
