This vacuum is intended for dry pick up only. Do not fill the dust bowl (3) beyond the end of the intake chute.

No. Do not use the vacuum without the dust bowl (3) and filter (10) in place. Optimum dust collection will only be achieved with a clean filter. Never use the appliance without its filters.

The vacuum can be attached to a wall using the base charger (6) for convenient storage and charging.

1. Mark the location for the base charger screw holes (8) on the wall. Ensure it is within reach of an electrical outlet for charging.
2. Choose appropriate screws and plugs for your wall type and the weight of the appliance. Fix the base charger (6) to the wall using these.
3. Hang the appliance by placing the opening of the vacuum base over the hook (9) on the base charger.

Make sure the mounting method is suitable for the wall type and the appliance’s weight.

Use only the supplied charger (5). Before charging, empty the dust bowl and ensure it is dry to avoid damage.

1. Before first use, charge the battery for at least 10 hours.
2. Place the appliance on the charging bracket (base charger 6) whenever it is not in use.
3. Ensure the appliance is switched off.

5. Plug the charger (5) into a standard electrical outlet (120V/60Hz).

NOTE: The charger may become warm while charging; this is normal. The appliance can be left connected to the charger indefinitely.

Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures below 39 °F (4 °C) or above 104 °F (40 °C). Charging improperly or outside this range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

To keep the suction force optimized, the filters must be cleared regularly during use. Empty the dust bowl and clean the filter frequently.

The filter is reusable and should be cleaned regularly.

1. Press the bowl release button (2) and pull the dust bowl (3) straight off.
2. Hold the dust bowl (3) over a trash can and pull out the filter (10) to empty the contents.
3. If washing, clean the dust bowl (3) and filter (10) in warm soapy water. Ensure both are completely dry before reinstalling.
4. Insert the cleaned (and dry) filter (10) back into the dust bowl (3).
5. Replace the dust bowl (3) by pushing it back onto the handle until it clicks firmly into place.

Warning: Never use the appliance without the filters installed.

Your hand vac may come with accessories like:

• **Brush tool (7):** Useful for furniture and stairs.
• **Crevice tool (11):** Built into the dust bowl. To use, pull the extension piece out until it locks into position. To store it, press the release button (12) and push the crevice tool (11) back into the dust bowl.

To fit an accessory like the brush tool:

1. Insert the accessory into the front of the dust bowl nozzle (4).
2. Make sure the accessory is fully pushed in.

The filters (10) should be replaced every 6 to 9 months, or whenever they appear worn or damaged. Replacement filters (cat. no: HNVCF10) are available from your BLACK+DECKER dealer or website.

1. Remove the old filter as described in the “How do I empty and clean the dust bowl and filter?” section (Steps 1 & 2).
2. Fit the new filter as described in the same section (Steps 4 & 5).
