precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of
fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the
following:
• Do not incinerate the batte
ry even if it is severely dam-
aged or is completely worn out. The battery can explode
in a fire. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
• If any leakage of liquid from the batte
ry cells occurs,
discontinue use immediately and return the battery to
your local Black & Decker Se
rvice Centre or

• Never attempt to open the batte
r
y for any reason. If the
plastic housing of the battery breaks or cracks, immediately
discontinue use and do not recharge.
• Do not charge appliance in rain or in wet locations
• Do not open or mutilate the batte

is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skins.
It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets and
keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - have
them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a
qualified Black & Decker service centre.
• Do not disassemble charge
r; take it to a qualified
Black & Decker se
rvice center when service or repair is
required. Inco
rrect reassembly may result in risk of electric
shock or fire. There are no consumer serviceable parts inside.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard household
electrical power (230 volt, 50Hz ac only). Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage.
• Do not abuse charger cord.
To reduce the risk of damage to
electric plug and cord never carry charger by cord or yank it
to disconnect from receptacle. Keep charger cord away from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
The charger is intended for indoor use only.
BATTERY
THE LEAD ACID BATTERY FOR YOUR SWEEPER IS
ONLY PARTIALLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY.
BEFORE USING YOUR SWEEPER, THE BATTERY MUST
BE CHARGED FOR A MINIMUM OF 24 HOURS.
• If the batte
ry case cracks due to a fall or other impact and
the electrolyte gel leaks out, wipe it up with a cloth, neutralize
the acid with any alkaline substance such as ammonia
solution
or baking soda. If the electrolyte gets on your skin,
immediately flush with water and consult a doctor.

Y
our Sweeper is equipped with a charger bracket that may
be mounted firmly to a wall in your garage, shed or similar
building. (Hardware for hanging the bracket is included in the
plastic bag packed with the Sweepe
r.) Charging your battery
in this bracket is very convenient because it hangs the tool
up, out of the way and ensures a good, solid contact
charging terminals.

MOUNTING THE CHARGER BRACKET ( Fig.3)
1. If you intend to charge the Sweeper in the charger bracket
follow the instructions under assembly instructions on attach-
ing the plug clamp in this manual.
2. Remove the two screws and the plastic anchors from the
plastic bag .
3. Use the charger bracket (7) to mark the locations of the
holes required. Be sure to mount the bracket high
enough so that the Sweeper can hang freely from it; about
1.2m (4 feet) from the floor.
4. Drill a
5.5 mm ( 7/32”) diameter hole at each marked
location.
5. Inse
rt the plastic anchors into the holes and insert one of
the screws in each one. Tighten the screws until the heads
are above the anchors just enough so that the charger
bracket will fit between the anchor and the screw head.
6. Place the charger bracket on the wall (narrow end up) and
make sure that the power cord is positioned in the side slot (9).
Press the charger bracket over the screw heads and slide it
down until it sits firmly on the screws.
7. Firmly tighten both screws.
NOTE:
If you prefer to charge the unit without the use of the
wall mounted charger bracket, remove the two screws (8)
and remove the charger plug from the bracket. (Fig. 3).
Simply plug the charger into the unit to charge (4).
TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY, FOLLOW THE
STEPS BELOW
1. Install the sweeper onto the charger bracket by positioning
the hanging recess, shown in FIG 3 over the upper hook of
of the charger bracket.
2. Rotate the sweeper down, keeping the upper hook engaged
with the hanging recess, and position the locating recess over
the lower boss of the charger bracket.
3. Plug the charger cord into any standard 230 volt, 50Hz
outlet. The red LED should be glowing.
Charging will begin immediately and continue at a slow trickle
rate until you remove the sweeper from the bracket.
