Troubleshooting

If your tool seems not to operate properly, follow the instructions below. If this does not solve the problem, please contact your local Black & Decker repair agent.

Warning! Before proceeding, unplug the tool.

Appliance runs slowly

uCheck that the spool housing can rotate freely. Carefully clean it if necessary.
