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 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:

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.) Ensure nozzle is rotated out of storage position.

3.) Using a phillips screwdriver, remove the seven screws securing the two housing halves.

4.) Lift the housing cover away from the assembly.

5.) Remove the single screw which secures the motor assembly. (located at bottom of unit, adjacent to the bowl.

6.) Lift out the motor assembly.

7.) Remove the three screws in the cover and lift the cover off of the assembly exposing the batteries.

8.) Detach motor connections and lift motor away from assembly.

9.) Detach all lead connections and remove batteries from battery casing.

10.) Dispose of batteries as per recommended guidelines.

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.
