is on.

SWITCHING ON AND OFF (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. See ”ACCESSORIES” for filter

catalog numbers.

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).

FILTERS

NOTE: CHV9608 uses a single filter. CHV1408, CHV1568 and CHV1688 use an inner

and outer filter.

FIG. G - To remove the filter(s) twist the outer (plastic) filter in a clockwise direction. Shake

or lightly brush any loose dust off the outer filter.

FIG. G1 - CHV1408, CHV1568 and CHV1688 only.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). CAUTION: Filter must be dry before re-assembling. Ensure both filters are in

place before operating.

FIG. G2 - If your unit is equipped with a filter cleaning slider as shown in Fig. G2 you can

achieve more use between filter cleanings by first switching off the vac, and then sliding the

cleaning wheel up and down as shown. Make two full cycles 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. CAUTION: 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 - Never immerse the product in water. Adamp 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.

7.2 volts: 7 - 9 minutes 9.6-12 volts: 9-11 minutes

14.0 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.

the extension piece until it locks into position.

and pushing the extension back into the nozzle. Additional accessories are stored on the

product (FIG. K) and are fitted into the nose of the product for use. NOTE: CVHV9608

includes brush only. Accessory use is shown in FIG. L.

Note: Replacement filters can be purchased from most local/national retailers that

sell vacuums, or by calling 1-888-678-7278.

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.
