How To Use
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.
2. Slide the charger onto the battery pack as shown in Figure below and let it charge
initially for 9 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage, your power pack
should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours.
3. Remove pack from the charger and place in tool. NOTE: To remove the battery from
the cordless hand vacuum press down on the release button on the back of the battery
and pull out.
Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the battery is out of the
tool or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.
WARNING: Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed
battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product
kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap.
Without cap in place, battery could short circuit causing fire or burns or damage to
battery.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 8 hours. If the
power pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 6 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 3 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the power pack in an air temperature below +40°F (4.5°C) or above
+105°F (40°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 the receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off
whenyou 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° 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 the
jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using the cordless
hand vacuum with the power pack in a depleted condition.
6. To prolong power pack life, avoid leaving the power pack on charge for extended
periods of time (over 30 days without use). Although overcharging is not a safety
concern, it can significantly reduce overall power pack life.
