INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. B)
The Dustbuster can be mounted to most walls when using the Wall Mount System included
with this product. Fix the wall mount within reach of an electrical outlet (Figure B). Mount
securely using appropriate length screws into framing studs or spring type wall anchors into
wallboard, etc. To charge, mount unit into place using wall mount hook at the top of the
handle. Next plug power supply plug into nearby 120 volt electrical outlet. Ensure cord is
not too tight so as to pull unit off wall mount. The unit can also be charged when placed in
a convenient position.
RECHARGING (FIG. C)
From new, the rechargeable cells of the product need a minimum charge time of 16 hours
to ensure full power. We suggest you fully discharge the product when it is used for the first
time as this will help the cells recharge faster. The switch must be in the off (“O”) position,
the product will not charge if it is in any other position. While charging, the product may get
warm, this is perfectly normal and safe. It can remain on charge indefinitely without damage
or danger. It is not possible to “overcharge” the battery cells with the charger provided.
OPERATION (FIG. D)
To start, slide the On/Off switch forward (i.e. “O”= Off, “I” = On). To stop, slide the switch
back.
• For best performance on hard surface wet pickups, insert Squeegee into the Bowl Nozzle
Opening.
• Do not fill the Bowl beyond the end of the Intake Chute (K). If there is any liquid in the
Bowl, do not turn the unit upside down, sideways, point the Nozzle upward, or shake the
Vac excessively.
• After picking up liquid substances clean the Vac and filter immediately. Mold and mildew
may form if the unit is not properly cleaned after wet pickups.
Always return the product to the power supply immediately after use so that it will be ready
and fully charged for the next use. Ensure that the product is fully engaged with the power
supply plug.
CLEANING THE PRODUCT (FIGS . E-I)
WARNING:
Never use the DustBuster
®
without its filters.
NOTE:
The filters are re-usable, do not confuse them with disposable dust bags, and do not
throw them away when the product is emptied. We recommend that you replace the filters
every 6-9 months.
FIG. E
• Remove the dust bowl by pressing the dust bowl release button and pulling the
bowl down and out. To replace the bowl, place it back onto the handle and click
firmly into position.
FIG. F
• While holding the Bowl over a wastebasket, pull out hard filter and foam filter to
remove.
FIG. G
• Empty the dust from the bowl and wash if necessary.
FIG. H
• Wash the filter regularly using warm, soapy water and ensure that it is
completely dry before using it again. The cleaner the filters are, the better the
product will perform. It is very important that the filter is correctly in position before
use. The dust bowl can also be washed in warm soapy water. Ensure that it is dry
before re-attaching.
IMPORTANT:
Maximum dust collection will only be obtained with clean filters and an empty
dust bowl. If dust begins to fall back out of the product after it is switched off, this indicates
that the bowl is full and requires emptying.
FIG. I
• Never immerse the product in water. A damp cloth and soapy water should be
used to clean the exterior of the motor section. Always ensure the product is
completely dry before re-use or storing.
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 8-10 minutes.
• It may take several chargings before these times can be achieved.
OTHER INFORMATION
If the product does not work, check the following:
• The power supply plug was correctly plugged in for recharge. (It feels slightly warm to the
touch.)
• The power supply plug is not damaged and is correctly attached to the base.
• The power supply plug into a working electrical outlet.
ACCESSORIES
Accessories are stored on the product (FIG. J) and are fitted into the nose of the product for
use.
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.
BATTERY REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL
NOTE:
Once removed, the battery cannot be refitted.
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:
(FIG. L)
Insert a flat head screwdriver into the tab area located above the jack plug hole on the
bottom of the Dustbuster. Use the screwdriver to pry the heel away from the Dustbuster.
Once the heel is removed you will see the batteries in a plastic casing. Remove the safety
label from the battery casing and grasp the pull tab to pull the casing out of the unit.
If the batteries have leaked or vented, protective gloves should be worn before touching the
casing.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT
remove the batteries from inside the plastic casing. Do no replace with
any batteries other than those supplied by Black & Decker.
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
