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 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° 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.

7. When the battery is inserted into the charger, the red “Charging Indicator” light will come on

indicating that there is contact between the battery and charger. The light will stay on as long

as the battery is in the charger and the charger is plugged into a working outlet. It WILL NOT

flash, go out or change to a different color when the charging cycle is complete.
