IMPORTANT safety Instructions for battery & charger
•
Warning: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
•Do not incinerate the appliance even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The appli- ance can explode in a fire. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
•If any leakage of liquid from the battery cells occurs, discontinue use immediately and return the bat- tery to your local Black & Decker Service Center or authorized service facility.
•Never attempt to open the battery for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
•Do not charge the unit outdoors.
•Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
•Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns. • Do not oper- ate charger with damaged cord or plug
•Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified Black & Decker service center.
•If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center
•Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified Black & Decker service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in risk of electric shock or fire. There are no consumer serviceable parts inside.
•The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120 volt, 60Hz AC only). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.
•Do not abuse charger cord. To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug and cord never carry charger by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep charger cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
batteryThe lead acid battery for your SWEEPER Is only partially charged at the factory. Before using your SWEEPER, the battery must be charged for a minimum of 24 hours.
•If the battery case cracks due to a fall or other impact and the electrolyte gel leaks out, wipe it up with a cloth, neutralize the acid with any alkaline substance such as ammonia solution or baking soda. If the electrolyte gets on your skin, immediately flush with water and consult a doctor.
•Your Sweeper is equipped with a charger bracket that may be mounted firmly to a wall in your garage, shed or similar building. (Hardware for hanging the bracket is included in the plastic bag packed with the Sweeper.) Charging your battery in this bracket is very convenient because it hangs the tool up, out of the way and ensures a good, solid contact between the charging terminals.
MOUNTING THE CHARGER bracket1. If you intend to charge the Sweeper in the charger bracket follow the instructions under assembly instructions on attaching the plug clamp in this manual.
2. Remove the two screws and the plastic anchors from the plastic bag.
3. Use the charger bracket to mark the locations of the holes required. Be sure to mount the bracket high enough so that the Sweeper can hang freely from it; about 4 feet (1.2m) from the floor.
4. Drill a 7/32” (5.5 mm) diameter hole at each marked location.
5. Insert the plastic anchors into the holes and insert one of the screws in each one. Tighten the screws until the heads are above the anchors just enough so that the charger bracket will fit between the anchor and the screw head.
6. Place the charger bracket on the wall (narrow end up) and make sure that the power cord is positioned in the side slot. Press the charger bracket over the screw heads and slide it down until it sits firmly on the screws.
7. Firmly tighten both screws.
NOTE: If you prefer to charge the unit without the use of the wall mounted charger bracket, remove the two screws and remove the charger plug from the bracket. (Fig. 3) Simply plug the charger into the unit to charge.
TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY, FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW1. Install the sweeper onto the charger bracket by positioning the hanging recess, shown in Figure 4 over the upper hook of the charger bracket.
2. Rotate the sweeper down, keeping the upper hook engaged with the hanging recess, and position the locating recess over the lower boss of the charger bracket, as shown in Figure 4.
3. Plug the charger cord into any standard 120 volt, 60Hz outlet. The red LED should be glowing. Charging will begin immediately and continue at a slow trickle rate until you remove the sweeper from the bracket.
4. Keep on charge when not in use for maximum battery life.
SWITCHThe switch can be operated by moving the lever from side to side. The “ON” and “OFF” positions are marked on the housing as shown in Figure 1A & 1B.
CAUTION: Do not point tool discharge at self or bystanders.
