including the following:
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE
UNIT.
SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS
It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The information it contains
relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols
below are used to help you recognize this information.
DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
WARNING: Some household dust contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm such as
asbestos and lead in lead based paint.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury:
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do
not allow to be used as a toy.
• Shock Hazard. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put unit or charging
base in water or other liquid.
• Do not use dry vacs to pick up liquids, toxic substances, flammable or combustible
liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.
• Do not operate in the presence of explosives and/or flammable fumes or liquids.
• Shock Hazard. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or charger or after
the appliance malfunctions, is left outdoors, dropped into water or is damaged in any
manner. Return the appliance to any authorized service facility.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the charger or base by the cord or yank to
disconnect from an outlet; instead grasp the charger and pull to disconnect. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces. Do not pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces. The
unit should be placed on the floor away from sinks and hot surfaces.
• Do not use an extension cord. Plug the charger directly into an electrical outlet.
• Use the charger only in a standard electrical outlet (120V/60Hz).
• Do not attempt to use the charger with any other product; do not attempt to charge this
product with any other charger. Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to
recharge.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Shock Hazard. Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
• Do not put any object into unit openings. Do not use with any openings blocked; keep
free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
• Fire Hazard. Do not vacuum burning or smoking materials, such as lit cigarette butts,
matches or hot ashes.

• Do not use on or near hot surfaces.
• Use extra caution when cleaning on stairs.
• This appliance is intended for household use only and not for commercial or industrial
use.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended
attachments.
• Unplug the charger from outlet before any routine cleaning or maintenance.
• This product includes rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries. Do not incinerate
batteries as they will explode at high temperatures.
• Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. If the liquid, which is a
20-35% solution of potassium hydroxide, gets on the skin (1) wash quickly with soap
and water or (2) neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid
gets into the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10
minutes. Seek medical attention.
• Do not look into the air vents when the unit is switched on, as sometimes
there is a possibility of small debris being discharged from the air vents, especially
after cleaning / replacement of the filters as debris inside the unit can be disturbed.
• To prevent tripping accidents, store vacuum after each use.
• Do not pick up any sharp objects that may damage vacuum or filters.
• Do not operate the unit without both filters in place. Replace a damaged filter promptly.

• Remove the filters (9 & 10) (figures L & M).
• Empty the dust container.
• Brush any loose dust off the filters.
• Wash the filters in warm, soapy water.
• Make sure that the filters are dry.
A section (11) of the unit can be removed to aid cleaning should the product become
blocked resulting in a loss of suction (figure N).
• Remove the section using a flat bladed screwdriver (figure N inset) to release the
front clip features.
Once released, the section will pivot free of the main assembly to give access for

to clean the exterior of the motor section. Always ensure the product is completely dry
before re-use or storing.
ACCESSORIES

ECONOMIC USAGE
• Your product is very economical to charge. While it is charging it uses less than half
the amount of electricity used by a common night light.
• When fully charged, the average effective usage times are between 10-12 minutes
with brush on (carpet), 12-14 minutes with brush on (hard floor) and 14-16 minutes
with vac only.
• It may take several chargings before these times can be achieved.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If the product does not work, check the following:
• The charger was correctly plugged in for recharge. (It feels slightly warm to the touch.)
• The charger cord is not damaged and is correctly attached to the base.
• The charger is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
• The appliance was switched to the off position to charge. The battery will not be
charged with the on/off switch in the on position.
• The filter is clogged. Press the release latch and open the container door. Remove the
plastic pre-filter and the paper filter. Brush any loose dust off the filters and wash them
in warm, soapy water. Make sure the filters are dry before placing back in the vacuum.
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
TM
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 screwdriver, remove the eight screws (12) securing the two housing halves.
(figure O)
4.) Lift the housing cover away from the assembly.
5.) Detach the wire connections to the battery pack.
6.) Remove battery pack from the unit.
7.) Dispose of batteries as per recommended guidelines.
MAINTENANCE
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the vac. Never let any liquid get inside the
vac; never immerse any part of the vac into a liquid.
NOTE: Make sure the vacuum is completely dry before using it.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized
service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical
replacement parts.
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.
