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.

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.

To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized

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.
