Maintenance
Your Black & Decker cordless appliance has been designed
to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of main-

proper tool care and regular cleaning.

Separate collection. This product must not be

needs replacement, or if it is of no further use to you, do not
dispose of it with household waste. Make this product avail-
able for separate collection.
