Maintenance and cleaning
Your Black & Decker corded appliance has been designed to
operate over a long period of time with a minimum of main-
tenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon

equipment.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance or cleaning on
corded appliances switch off and unplug the appliance.
Warning! Do not use materials with a flashpoint lower than
55°C. Flashpoint is the temperature that a fluid can produce
enough vapours to ignite (see paint supplier instructions).

of flammable vapours.
Warning! Always spray outdoors when spraying cleaning
solution through sprayer.
Warning! Do not submerse power unit.
