Protecting the environment

Separate collection. This product must not be disposed of with normal household

waste.

Should you find one day that your Black & Decker product needs replacement, or if it is of no

further use to you, do not dispose it off with other household waste. Make this product

available for separate collection.

Separate collection of used products and packaging allows materials to be recycled

and used again. Use of recycled materials helps prevent environmental pollution and

reduces the demand for raw materials.

Local regulations may provide for separate collection of electrical products from the

household, at municipal waste sites or by the retailer when you purchase a new product.

Black & Decker provides a facility for the collection and recycling of Black & Decker products

once they have reached the end of their working life. To take advantage of this service please

& Decker office at the address indicated in this manual. A list of authorised Black & Decker

repair agents and full details of our after-sales service and contact are available on the Internet

at: www.2helpU.com

covered under warranty. If the product should become defective within the warranty period, Black &

Decker will repair or (at Black & Decker's discretion) replace it free of charge.

The warranty provisions do not cover failure due to accident, misuse, abuse, negligence or non

observation of local regulations on the part of the user. Equally, the warranty provisions do not apply

where the appliance has been serviced by a person not authorized by Black & Decker or serviced with

non-approved parts and this has contributed to the fault of the product. Superseded models without a

replacement equivalent will either be repaired or (at Black & Decker's discretion) replaced with another

product of similar retail value.

UPON PURCHASE

Fill in the Warranty Registration Card with the original Authorized Dealer's stamp (indicating date of

purchase) and attach your purchase receipt to it. Retain in case of claims in the future.

MAKING A CLAIM

Take your defective product together with the Warranty Registration Card & purchase receipt to your local

service Centre. You can either do this in person or send it freight prepaid. If mailing or shipping your

appliance, ensure that it is packed carefully in a sturdy carton with enough packing material to prevent

damage. Include a note describing the problem to the service Centre and be sure to give your return

address.
