Assembly

Installing the battery pack (fig. A)

X Insert the metal terminal end of the battery pack (8) into

the battery compartment (6) until you hear the lock click

into place and the VPX™ logo shows through the

window.

Warning! The battery will only fit one way, do not force it. If

the battery does not fit, remove it and put it in the other way.

Removing the battery pack (fig A)

X Press the battery pack release button (7) and firmly pull

the battery pack (8) out of the battery compartment (6).

Charging the batteries (fig. B)

Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient

temperatures below 10 °C or above 40 °C.

Note: The charger will not charge a battery pack if the cell

temperature is below approximately 0 °C or above 60 °C.

The battery pack should be left in the charger and the

charger will begin to charge automatically when the cell

temperature warms up or cools down.

X Plug in the charger (9) and switch on at the mains.

X Insert the battery pack (8) into the charger. Make sure

that the battery pack is fully seated in the charger (9).

X The charging indicator (10) will flash continuously

(slowly).

X Leave the battery to charge for at least 5 to 6 hours.

X The charge is complete when the charging indicator

(10) lights continuously

The charger and the battery pack can be left connected

indefinitely with the LED illuminated. The LED will change to

flashing (charging) state, as the charger occasionally “tops

off“ the battery charge.

The charging indicator (10) will be lit as long as the battery

pack is connected to the plugged-in charger.

Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will

be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.

Charge indicators

If the charger detects a problem with a battery pack, the

charge indicator (10) will flash at a fast rate.

X If this occurs, re-insert the battery pack (8).

X If the problem persists, put a different battery pack in the

charger to determine if the charger is OK.

X If the new battery pack charges correctly, then the

original battery pack is defective and should be returned

to a service centre for recycling.

X If the new battery pack gives the same indication as the

original, take the charger to be tested at an authorized

service centre.

Note: It may take as long as fifteen minutes to determine that

the pack is defective.

If the battery pack is too hot or too cold, the LED will

alternately blink fast and slow, one flash at each speed and

repeat.

Battery chargers - daisy chaining (fig. C)

Single and dual port chargers can be electrically connected

in any order up to a maximum of 4 chargers. Each charger

has a power-in cord (11) which plugs into the electrical outlet

and a power-out cord (12) which plugs into the next charger.

To connect the chargers in a daisy chain:

X Plug the power-in cord (11) into an electrical outlet.

X Remove the power-in cord from the next charger and

plug in the power-out cord (12) rom the charger that is

now plugged into the outlet.

X Repeat this process for the remaining chargers.

Chargers that are daisy chained together operate

independently as though each one was plugged into a

separate outlet, therefore a battery can be removed from

anywhere along the daisy chain without affecting the other

chargers.

Fitting the accessories (fig. D and E)

These models are supplied with some or all of the following

accessories:

X A brush tool (13) for furniture and stairs.

X A crevice tool (14) for confined spaces.

To fit an accessory, proceed as follows:

appliance (fig. L).

X Insert the appropriate accessory into the front of the

appliance.

area (15) marked with an arrow and pushing the dust

collector extension (1) back into the dust collector (2).

Switching on and off (fig. G)

X To switch the appliance on, slide the on/off switch (4)

forward.

ENGLISH

X To switch the appliance off, slide the on/off switch (4)

back.

X If the tool does not turn on, check to see if one of the two

VPX™ battery packs is depleted. See the section

“Battery LED indicators” below.

Battery LED indicators

This product is equipped with electronics which will shut-off

the power when either battery pack is depleted. If the tool

stops suddenly, one of battery packs may be depleted. An

LED (5) on the top of the tool body will indicate which battery

pack is depleted.

In order to illuminate the indicator the on/off switch (4) must

be in the forward position. To insure optimal runtime, remove

both battery packs and place in a charger.

To check battery status:

X Slide the On/Off switch (4) forward and observe which

LED is illuminated.

X Slide the On/Off switch (4) back and remove the battery

pack corresponding to the light which is illuminated

X Place the battery pack in a charger.

Protecting the environment

Separate collection. This product must not be

disposed of with normal household waste.

Should you find one day that your Black & Decker product

needs replacement, or if it is of no further use to you, do not

dispose of it with household waste. Make this product

available for separate collection.

Separate collection of used products and packaging

allows materials to be recycled and used again. Re-

use of recycled materials helps prevent

environmental pollution and reduces the demand

for raw materials.

Local regulations may provide for separate collection of

electrical products from the household, at municipal waste

sites or by the retailer when you purchase a new product.

Black & Decker provides a facility for the collection and

recycling of Black & Decker products once they have

reached the end of their working life. To take advantage of

this service please return your product to any authorised

repair agent who will collect them on our behalf.

agent by contacting your local Black & Decker office at the

address indicated in this manual. Alternatively, a list of

Batteries

Black & Decker batteries can be recharged many

times. At the end of their useful life, discard batteries

with due care for our environment:

X Run the battery down completely, then remove it from

the tool.

X Lithium Ion batteries are recyclable. Take them to any

authorised repair agent or a local recycling station
