INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. B)
Fix the charging base within reach of an electrical outlet, using the screws supplied. Plug in
and place the product in position. Always mount in an upright (handle up) position.
NOTE: Avoid damaging the cord while fixing the base to the wall or when removing or
replacing the product from the base.
RECHARGING (FIG. C)
The charger supplied with this product is intended to be plugged in such that it is correctly
orientated in a vertical or floor mount position.
From new, the rechargeable cells of the product need a minimum charge time of 21 hours to
ensure full power. While charging the charge indicator light will be illuminated. 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.
Before recharging unit, make sure extension nozzle (from figure J) is retracted back in to
bowl of the unit.
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR DRY PICK-UPONLY.
OPERATION
Ensure that the product is fully engaged on the charging base and the charge indicator light
is on.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF (FIG. D)
To start, slide the On/Off switch forward (i.e. “O”= Off, “I” = On). To stop, slide the switch
back.
Always return the product to the charging base immediately after use so that it will be
ready and fully charged for the next use. Ensure that the product is fully engaged on the
charging base.
CLEANING THE PRODUCT (FIGS . E-I)
WARNING: Never use the Dustbuster without its filter.
NOTE: The filter is re-usable, do not confuse it with disposable dust bags, and do not throw
it away when the product is emptied. We recommend that you replace the filters every 6-9
months depending on frequency of use. See ”ACCESSORIES” for filter catalog number.
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. Important: For best vacuum results, empty bowl after every use.
FIG. F - Empty the debris from the bowl and wash if necessary (see Fig. H).
FILTER
FIG. G1 - To remove the filter twist in a clockwise direction. Shake or lightly brush any loose
dust off the filter.
FIG. G2 - If your unit is equipped with a filter cleaning slider as shown in Fig. G2 you can
achieve more use between filter cleanings by first switching off the vac, and then sliding the
cleaning wheel up and down as shown. Make two full cycles for best results.
FIG. H - Wash the filter using warm, soapy water and ensure it is completely dry before
using it again. The cleaner the filter, 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. CAUTION: Filter must be dry before re-assembling.
IMPORTANT:Maximum dust collection will only be obtained with clean filter 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. Adamp 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

voltage.
7.2 volts: 7 - 9 minutes 9.6-12 volts: 9-11 minutes
14.0 volts and higher: 12-15 minutes
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the product does not work, check the following:
• That the charge indicator light is on when unit is in base.
• 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.
• That the switch is in the “OFF” position when charging.

the extension piece until it locks into position.
The extension can be retracted by depressing the arrow button at the back of the extension
and pushing the extension back into the nozzle.

sell vacuums, or by calling 1-888-678-7278.

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.

1) Unlatch bowl from main handle unit.
2) Remove filter.
3) Remove the seven screws holding the unit together.
4) Pull the cover half away from the location half.

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

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.
