9. Use only the supplied charger when charging your unit. The use of any other charger
could damage the battery or create a hazardous condition.
10. Use only one charger when charging.
11. Do not attempt to open the charger or the unit. There are no customer serviceable
parts inside. Return to any authorized Black & Decker service center.
12. DO NOT incinerate battery packs even if they are severely damaged or completely
worn out.
13. Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire. A small leakage of liquid
from the battery cells may occur under extreme usage, charging or temperature
conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this
leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of
10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
MEDICAL NOTE:
The liquid is a
25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.

IMPORTANT CHARGING SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
CHARGING THE POWER PACK
THE BATTERIES IN YOUR POWER PACK ARE NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE
FACTORY. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THEM, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF
THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.
1. Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet.
NOTE: Do not charge by means of an engine generator or DC power source. Use
only 120V AC.
2. Slide the charger onto the power pack as shown in Figure 2 & 3 and let the power pack
charge initially for 9 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage, your power
pack should be fully charged in 3 to 9 hours.
3. Unplug charger, and remove the power pack.
Place the power pack in the unit and
be certain that it is inserted fully into the battery cavity until it “clicks” into place.
NOTE:
To remove the power pack from the unit, press down on the release button on
the back of the pack (Figure 4) and slide out.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 9 hours. If the
power pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 9 hours to become fully charged.
Your power pack was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before
attempting to use it, it must be charged for at least 9 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the power pack in an air temperature below +40°F(+4.5°C), or above
+105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the power
pack. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if power pack is charged
when air temperature is about 75°F (24°C).
3. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem.
4. If the power pack does not charge properly—(1) Check current at receptacle by
plugging in a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a
light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and
power pack to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F (+4.5°C) to 105°F (+40.5°C). (4) If
the receptacle and temperature are OK, and you do not get proper charging, take or
send the power pack and charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See
Tools Electric in
yellow pages.
5. The power pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs
which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using unit with its power pack
in a depleted condition.
6. The power pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times during
normal usage. There is no need to run the batteries down completely before recharging.
Normal usage is the best method of discharging and recharging the power pack.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely.
The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
NOTE:
A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the battery
pack has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged before use. A
battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into an
appropriate AC source.
SWITCH
The switch can be operated by moving the lever from side to side. The “ON” and “OFF”
positions are marked on the housing as shown in Figure 1A & 1B.
CAUTION:
DO NOT POINT UNIT DISCHARGE AT SELF OR
BYSTANDERS.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always wear safety glasses. Wear a filter mask if the operation
is dusty. Use of gloves, long pants and substantial footwear is recommended. Keep long
hair and loose clothing away from openings and moving parts. THIS SWEEPER IS FOR
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

Ensure the blower is switched off and the battery is removed before attaching or
removing the sweeper tube.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
TURN OFF UNIT!
CAUTION:
DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY WATER ON THE UNIT.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the unit. Never let any liquid get inside the
unit; never immerse any part of the unit into a liquid.
Your sweeper should be stored in a dry place. Do not store the unit on or
adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can cause rapid corrosion
of the metal 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
1-800-544-6986
IMPORTANT
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment
should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations,
always using identical replacement parts.
