Use of an attachment
not recommended
or sold by Black & Decker may result in a risk
of fire, electric shock,
or injury to persons.
To reduce
risk of damage
to electric
plug and cord,
pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting
charger.
Make sure cord is located
so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped
over, or otherwise
subjected
to damage
or stress.
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.

Use only the supplied
charger
when charging
your unit. The use of any other charger
could damage
the battery pack 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 seat 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 CHARGINGSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
CHARGING
PROCEDURE
THE BATTERY
PACK IS NOT FULLY CHARGED
AT THE FACTORY.
CHARGE
BATTERY
PACK FOR AT LEAST
9 HOURS
BEFORE
USE,
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 (figure
1).
2.
Slide the charger
onto the battery
pack as shown in figure
2 and let the battery
pack
charge
initially for 9 hours.
After the initial charge,
under normal
usage, your battery
pack should
be fully charged in 6 to 9 hours.
2a) During
charging
the green LED will appear.
2b) When charging
is complete
the green LED will go off.
3.
Unplug charger, and remove the battery pack. Place the battery
pack into the tool until it
"clicks"
into place.
NOTE: To remove the battery
pack, press down on the release
button on the back of
the battery
pack and slide out (figure
3).
IMPORTANT
CHARGING
NOTES
1. After normal
usage, your battery
pack should
be fully charged
in 6 to 9 hours.
If the
battery pack is run-down
completely,
it may take up to 9 hours
to become fully
charged.
Your battery
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 battery 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 battery
pack. Longest life and best performance
can be obtained
if battery
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 battery
pack does not charge
property--(1)
Check current at receptacle
by plug-
ging 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 battery
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 battery
pack and charger to your local Black & Decker service
center. See Tools
Electric in yellow
pages.
5. The battery
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 battery pack
in a depleted
condition.
6. The battery
pack will reach optimum
performance
after being cycled 5 times during
normal usage. There is no need to run the battery pack down completely
before
recharging.
Normal usage is the best method
of discharging
and recharging
the battery
pack.
STORAGE
RECOMMENDATION
1. Store tool:
a.) with the battery pack removed
and on the charger.
b.) in a place that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
c.) out of the reach of children.
2. For prolonged
storage such as over the winter, the battery pack should be fully charged
and then removed from the charger. It should be charged again just prior to use.
LEAVING
THE BATTERY
PACK IN THE CHARGER
It is OK to leave battery packs on charge for long periods of time. The charger has a
maintenance
mode which gives the battery pack enough charge to stay "topped off". If
however,
the tool is not expected
to be needed for more than 30 days, unplug the charger and
store battery pack in a cool, dry location.
NOTE:
A battery pack will lose its charge when kept
off 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 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 4A & 4B.
-
± 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.
• Hold the sweeper
with one hand as shown in figure
6 and sweep from side to side with the
nozzle several
inches above the ground.
Slowly advance
keeping
the accumulated
pile of
debris in front of you.
Maintenance
CLEANING
AND STORAGE
CAUTION: DO NOT POUR
OR SPRAY
WATER
ONTHE
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
TM
SEAL
The RBRC
TM
(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
