• A BATTERY OPERATED UNIT with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for
one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
• USE BATTERY OPERATED UNIT ONLY with specifically designated battery pack. Use of
any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
• AVOID accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting
battery pack. Carrying units with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into
a unit with the switch on invites accidents.
• DO NOT use unit if switch does not turn it on or off. A unit that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• DISCONNECT battery pack from unit or place the switch in the locked or off position
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the unit. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the unit accidentally.

this unit is in use. Also use face or dust mask. Safety glasses are available at extra cost at
your local Black & Decker Service Center or authorized service facility.
• DO NOT place outlet of sweeper near eyes or ears when operating.

BATTERY CAP INFORMATION
Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the battery is out of the
unit or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or unit.
Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects
WARNING
:
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.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the
like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and
carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when
transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
