INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. B)
Fix the charging base within reach of an electrical outlet, using the screws supplied. Plug in
and place the product in position. Always mount in an upright (handle up) position.
NOTE: Avoid damaging the cord while fixing the base to the wall or when removing or
replacing the product from the base.
RECHARGING (FIG. C)
From new, the rechargeable cells of the product need a minimum charge time of 16 hours to
ensure full power. While charging the charge indicator light will be illuminated. The switch
must be in the off (“O”) position. The product will not charge if it is in any other position. While
charging, the product may get warm, this is perfectly normal and safe. It can remain on
charge indefinitely without damage or danger. It is not possible to “overcharge” the battery
cells with the charger provided.
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR DRY PICK-UP ONLY.
OPERATION (FIG. D)
To start, slide the On/Off switch forward (i.e. “O”= Off, “I” = On). To stop, slide the switch
back.
Always return the product to the charging base immediately after use so that it will be
ready and fully charged for the next use. Ensure that the product is fully engaged on the
charging base.
CLEANING THE PRODUCT (FIGS . E-I)
WARNING: Never use the Dustbuster without its filters.
NOTE: The filters are re-usable, do not confuse them with disposable dust bags, and do not
throw them away when the product is emptied. We recommend that you replace the filters
every 6-9 months depending on frequency of use. (Use Cat. No. VF100H filters)
FIG. E • Remove the dust bowl by pressing the dust bowl release button and pulling the
bowl down and out. To replace the bowl, place it back onto the handle and click
firmly into position.
Important: For best vacuum results, empty bowl after every use.
FIG. F • Empty the debris from the bowl and wash if necessary (see Fig. H).
FIG. G • To remove the filters twist the outer (plastic) filter in a clockwise direction. Shake or
lightly brush any loose dust off the outer filter. Remove the inner filter and shake,
tap or lightly brush outside surface to remove loose dust. Both filters can be rinsed
as shown in fig. (H).
WARNING: Filter must be dry before re-assembling.
Ensure both filters are in place before operating.
FIG. G1• If your unit is equipped with a filter cleaning wheel as shown in Fig. G1 you can
achieve more use between filter cleanings by first switching off the vac, and then
rotating the cleaning wheel up or down as shown. Make two full rotations of wheel
for best results.
FIG. H • Wash the filters using warm, soapy water and ensure that they are completely dry
before using it again. The cleaner the filters are, the better the product will perform.
It is very important that the filter is correctly in position before use. The dust bowl
can also be washed in warm soapy water. Ensure that it is dry before re-attaching.
WARNING: Filters must be dry before re-assembling.
IMPORTANT: Maximum dust collection will only be obtained with clean filters 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.
FIG. I • The exhaust filter is removed by opening cover and pulling out filter as shown. For
best results wash filter regularly with soap and water.
FIG. J • Never immerse the product in water. A damp cloth and soapy water should be used
to clean the exterior of the motor section. Always ensure the product is completely
dry before re-use or storing.
ECONOMIC USAGE
• Your product is very economical to charge. While it is charging it uses less electricity than a
typical night light bulb.
• When fully charged and with a clean filter, the average effective usage times vary by
voltage.
15.6 volts and higher: 12 - 15 minutes
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the product does not work, check the following:
• That the charge indicator light is on when unit is in base.
• The charger was correctly plugged in for recharge. ( It feels slightly warm to the touch.)
• The charger cord is not damaged and is correctly attached to the base.
• The charger is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
• That the switch is in the “OFF” position when charging.
ACCESSORIES
Accessories are stored on the product (FIG. K) and are fitted into the nose of the product for
use. Accessory use is shown in FIG. L.
Note: Replacement filters can be purchased from most local/national retailers that
sell vacuums. Look for VF100H filters.
BATTERY REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL
This product uses nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) 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 Authorized
Service Center. Some local retailers are also participating in a national recycling program
(see “RBRC
TM
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. Remove accessories from the bottom of the unit.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver remove the screws as shown in Fig "M". Then use the
screwdriver to push the lock tabs in the direction shown.
3. Pull the battery cover off as shown in Fig. N.
4. Remove the battery pack (Fig. O) and dispose as stated above.
To replace or obtain a new battery pack, contact your local Black & Decker, Company-
Owned or Authorized Service Center, or call 1-800-544-6986. Be prepared to provide the
Catalog No. of your DustBuster, found on the bottom housing under the crevice tool.
MAINTENANCE
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the vac. Never let any liquid get inside the vac;
never immerse any part of the vac into a liquid.
NOTE: Make sure the vacuum is completely dry before using it.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized
service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement
parts.
THE RBRC
™ SEAL
The RBRC™ (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
1-800-8-BATTERY.
