SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
CHARGING THE BATTERY
1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
3. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Black & Decker Power Packs.
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Black & Decker may result in a risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round
jacketed extension cords should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension is to be used outside, the cord
must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked for outdoor use can also be
used for indoor work. The letters "W" or "WA" on the cord jacket indicate that the
cord is suitable for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)
for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more
capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total
length, be sure each extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

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.
NOTE: Ensure the blower is switched off and the battery is removed before attaching or
removing the sweeper tubes.
• TUBE ASSEMBLY: To attach the inner tube to the sweeper, line up the tube with the
sweeper housing as shown in Figure 5. Push the tube into the sweeper housing until the
lock button engages the lock hole in the tube. Repeat this process for the outer tube.

pile of debris in front of you.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AND STORAGE
TURN OFF UNIT!
CAUTION:

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.
