battery at ambient temperatures below 39°F (4°C) or above 104°F (40°C).
The charge is complete when the charging indicator lights continuously. The charger
and the battery can be left connected indefinitely with the LED illuminated. The LED will
change to flashing (charging) state as the charger occasionally tops off the battery charge.
• Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will be greatly diminished if

Cleaning and emptying the product
WARNING:
Projectile/Respiratory Hazard: Never use the vac
without its filter.
NOTE: The filter is re-usable, do not confuse it with a disposable dust bag, and do not
throw it away when the product is emptied. We recommend that you replace the filter
every 6-9 months depending on frequency of use.
There are two methods of cleaning the bowl, a quick empty method and a thorough
clean method.
For a quick empty (figures C,D)
C
• Figure C - Press in on both nozzle release
buttons on the sides of the nozzle and remove the
nozzle by pulling straight off.
• Figure D - Empty the dust from the bowl.
• For a more thorough cleaning, remove bowl as
described in figures E, F, & G.

Removing the dust bowl and filters (figures E - H)
WARNING:
The filters are
re-usable and should be cleaned regularly.
• Press the release latch and pull the dust bowl
straight off.
• While holding the dust bowl over a bin or sink,
pull out the filter to empty the contents of the
bowl.
• To replace the dust bowl, place it back onto the
handle until it “clicks” firmly into position.
E
WARNING:
Never use the
appliance without the filters. Optimum dust collection will only be achieved with clean filters.
• Figure F - This vacuum has a plastic pre-filter
and an inner cloth filter. To separate the cloth
filter from the plastic filter, twist the plastic filter in a
clockwise direction.
• Remove the inner cloth filter and shake or lightly
brush any loose dust off both filters.
F
• Figure G - The dust bowls and filters can be
washed in warm soapy water. Allow to dry
before placing back into the vac.
G
• Figure H To replace the filters, slide the outer plastic filter over
the cloth filter.
• Align the wings of the plastic filter with the slots in the cloth
filter and twist in a counterclockwise direction.
• Place filters back into the bowl pressing firmly to ensure a
secure fit.
• To replace dust bowl, place it back onto the handle until it
“clicks” firmly into position.
IMPORTANT: Maximum dust collection will only be obtained
with a 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.
• Wash the filters regularly using warm, soapy water and ensure
that they are completely dry before using again. The cleaner the
filter is, the better the product will perform.
• It is very important that the filter is correctly in position before
use.

Battery Removal and Disposal
This product uses Lithium Ion rechargeable and recyclable batteries. When the
batteries no longer hold a charge, they should be removed from the Vac and recycled.
They must not be incinerated or composted.
The batteries can be taken for disposal to a Black+Decker, Company-Owned or
TM
Authorized Service Center. Some
local retailers are also participating in a national
recycling program (see “RBRC 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.
To remove the battery pack for disposal:
1.) First, before attempting to disassemble the product, turn it on and leave it on until
the motor completely stops insuring a complete discharge of the batteries.
2.) Using a phillips screwdriver, remove the seven screws securing the two housing
halves.
3.) Lift the housing cover away from the assembly.
4.) Detach all lead connections from battery pack.
5.) Remove battery pack and dispose of as per recommended guidelines.
The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation)
Seal on the Lithium Ion 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 Lithium Ion
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 Lithium Ion batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve
natural resources by returning the spent Lithium Ion 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.
