Black & Decker S600, S600B Instruction Manual

How to use

Before First Use and Tips

• The battery is not fully charged when packed in the carton. Charge the battery for at least 16 hours before first use. See “Charging the Battery”.

Charging the Battery- Fig.

When disconnecting the ScumBuster from the charger, be sure to unplug the charger from the outlet first then disconnect the charger cord from the ScumBuster. The tool can be left on charge for as long as you desire, a minimum charge of 16 hours is required to recharge a completely discharged tool.

1. Remove the Charging Port Plug on the end of the handle. Plug in the Output cord of

the Charger into the socket in the back of the ScumBuster (See 6 & 7 in Fig. B ).

2. Plug the battery charger into a wall plug. The red indicator light on the charger plug will

come ON indicating that the battery is charging. The red light indicates that the charger is connected to the battery and is charging. This light will remain Red as long as the unit is connected to the charger. While charging, the Charger may hum and feel warm to touch. This is normal.

3. If a battery does not charge properly:

• check the current at the outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance there to see if it will work,

• see if the outlet is connected to a wall switch which controls the power,

• move the Charger and battery to a surrounding air temperature of +40°F (5°C) to 105°F (40°C).

4. After charging replace the Charging Port Plug.

5. DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE SCUMBUSTER with a depleted battery.

The user should never attempt to remove the Battery Cap except for Battery recycle. To remove the Battery Cap will destroy the operation of the unit.

Hanging the Wallmount:

NOTE: The wall mount may not be included in your model. Refer to product packaging for contents.

Use the hardware provided only if hanging on conventional sheet rock or plaster walls. If not hanging on conventional sheet rock or plaster walls, please use the appropriate fasteners for that material.

1. Locate the wall mount within reach of an electrical outlet. Firmly attach it to the wall so it will not pull out. Use the hardware provided only if hanging on conventional hollow wall construction such as sheetrock over studs. If not, use the appropriate fasteners for that wall material.

2. Insert the charger cord into the groove (see Fig C) on the bottom of the wall mount to keep the cord from falling when the ScumBuster is not on the mount.

3. Plug in and place the product in position. Always mount the ScumBuster in an upright (handle down/nozzle up) position (see Fig C).

the triangular shaft, push it on, and snap twist it quickly, clockwise into place. (Fig. E) The disc accessory must always be used with a Scrub Pad attached.

2. To remove an Accessory, turn off unit, snap twist accessory quickly in

counter-clockwise direction, then pull it off. Because this Scrubber is powerful, you don’t have to apply excessive pressure while operating. Use a circular motion on large areas.

Attaching the Flexible Accessory Fig.

Never use the flexible attachment by itself. Always attach a brush or pad accessory.

Note

! Flexible attachment should not be used for carpet cleaning

applications.

1. Attach the Flexible Accessory to the ScumBuster® as shown in Fig F.

2. The accessories can be connected to the Flexible Accessory as shown in Fig F.

How to Operate the Switch

The S600 ScumBuster® has a 2 speed switch. (Fig G) To operate, push the left side of the switch for LOW speed OR the right side of the switch for HIGH speed. Return the switch to the center position to turn OFF. To avoid splatter from a Brush or Pad, turn the Scrubber off while the attachment is still in contact with the surface. Use low speed to reduce throw off.

Important:

If some water leaks into the unit, it will not affect performance. However, should the unit accidentally fall into water without the charging port plug in place, shake out loose liquid and allow to air dry overnight.

Filling the Unit

You should always fill and empty the Liquid Reservoir over a sink in case of spillage.

Clean exterior of the unit and flush the liquid delivery system with clear water before filling with a different cleaning solution. DO NOT MIX Cleaning Solutions.

NOTE!

Only fill liquid reservoir with “water like” household approved cleaning solutions that can be used in hand pump dispensers. Other thicker cleaning products such as Gels and Soft Scrubs can be applied directly to the surface being cleaned from the container they were purchased in but can not be dispensed from the ScumBuster as they will clog the liquid delivery system.

• When filling the liquid reservoir make sure to

hold the ScumBuster with the liquid reservoir cap facing up and the nozzle facing down. (Fig J) Screw the “Liquid Reservoir Cap” off the unit by turning it counter clockwise as shown in Fig H.

• Fill the Liquid Reservoir to the “MAX Fill Line” with the desired cleaning solution. (Fig I)

• Replace the “Liquid Reservoir Cap”. Screw the cap clockwise to the right as shown until the

Liquid Reservoir Cap is flush with the unit.

NOTE!

The Liquid Reservoir Cap has a double thread and can be assembled in two positions, each being 180° from each other. The unit will function correctly in either position.

To Dispense Solution

The fluid contained in the ScumBuster® is under pressure. To dispense the solution, press the fluid button (Fig A,#5) and the fluid will squirt out the nozzle. The fluid will continue to dispense as long as the fluid button is held down or until the Liquid Reservoir is empty.

Cleaning and Storage

NOTE!

For best performance, empty and thoroughly rinse the delivery system before storing. Do this by filling reservoir with water and emptying as normal 1 or 2 times. Thoroughly clean the Brushes and/or Scrub Pads after each use.

1. Clean the Brushes and Scrub Pads in a mild detergent, rinse with water and air dry.

2. To clean the Scrubber unit, wipe with a damp sponge and a mild soap.

3. Store the Scrubber and attachments/accessories indoors.

Care Guide Cleaning the Nozzle

• Remove the nozzle by unscrewing it counter clockwise using a flat head screw driver or

small coin or supplied cleaning stick. (See Fig K)

• Soak the nozzle for 1/2 hour in clear warm water to clean. Make sure the nozzle grooves

and threads are clean. If not, it may be necessary to lightly brush clean with a fine synthetic bristle brush.

• Replace the nozzle by screwing the nozzle clockwise into the unit being careful not to over

tighten. Run 1 or 2 loads of clear water through the unit.

Unclogging the Liquid Delivery System

A cleaning stick is provided in case the tubing inside of the ScumBuster clogs. In the event clogging does occur, follow the steps below:

1. Remove all chemical from the ScumBuster and replace it with warm water.

2. Remove nozzle by using the wide end of the cleaning stick. (see Fig K)

3. Hold ScumBuster so nozzle is pointing away from face. While pressing down on the fluid button, insert the slender end of the cleaning stick repeatedly until ScumBuster is unclogged. (see Fig K) Note: ScumBuster is unclogged when pressure release sound is heard, followed by water exiting the nozzle.

4. Remove cleaning stick. Press the fluid button until the reservoir is empty. Note: It may be necessary to repeat steps 1 - 4 to restore full flow.

5. Reattach the nozzle. Be careful not to overtighten. Note: Place cleaning stick back in carrying case for future use.

Cleaning of the Liquid Reservoir

Over time, a film of cleaning solution may build up on the inside of the Liquid Reservoir. This may be apparent by excessive pulsation of the fluid spray. To clean, simply wipe the internal surface of the Liquid Reservoir with a soft damp cloth and flush with water.

Tips on Cleaning Agents

NOTE!

Only fill liquid reservoir with “water like” household cleaning solutions that are available in hand pump dispensers. Other thicker cleaning products such as Gels and Soft Scrubs can be applied directly to the surface being cleaned from the container they were purchased in, but can not be dispensed from the ScumBuster as they will clog the components of the liquid delivery system.

IMPORTANT:

ScumBuster®Cordless Scrubbers have been designed for easy, powerful cleaning. If you are uncertain about its use on a surface, test an attachment on a small inconspicuous area before cleaning larger areas.

• Always follow manufacturer’s recommendations when using a chemical cleaner such as

sprays, foams, rub-on gels, liquid detergents, or bleach solutions.

• Do not use with abrasive cleaners on any surface or in the unit.

• Always wear rubber gloves and protective eye wear (to avoid splatter) when using irritating

cleaners.

Tips on Carpet Cleaning

• Before cleaning your carpet, thoroughly vacuum the surface.

• For soiled carpets dip shampoo brush in cleaning solution and begin to shampoo soiled

area, continuously moving the unit in a circular pattern. Do not hold the unit, while running, in one place. Once the foam has disappeared, let dry, then vacuum.

Battery Removal and Disposal

This product uses a nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cad) rechargeable and recyclable battery. When it can no longer be recharged, it should be removed from the unit and recycled. The battery must not be incinerated or composted. The battery can be taken for disposal to a Black & Decker Inc.,Company-Owned or Authorized Service center. There are also some local retailers who are participating in a national recycling program (see “RBRC Seal“). Call your local retailer for details. If you bring the old battery to a Black & Decker Company Owned or Authorized Service Center, the Center will arrange for recycling it. Or, if you wish, contact your local municipality for proper disposal instructions in your city/town.

Battery Removal

To remove the battery pack for disposal, insert a flat Screw driver at the split between the handle cap and the handle as shown in Fig L. Snap the cap off by prying in the direction shown by the arrow in Fig L. Additional prying may be needed at the opposite side of the handle. Slide the battery out of the tool as shown in Fig M and dispose of battery as noted above. Once removed the battery pack can not be refitted.

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 nickel-cadmium 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.
