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:
X Take the accessories from its storage position on the
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.
You can check the location of your nearest authorised repair
agent by contacting your local Black & Decker office at the
address indicated in this manual. Alternatively, a list of
authorised Black & Decker repair agents and full details of
our after-sales service and contacts are available on the
Internet at: www.2helpU.com.
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
