Question 1

How to reverse the rotation direction of the BLACK & DECKER BEH201 rotary hammer?

Accepted Answer

The BLACK & DECKER BEH201 rotary hammer has a rotation direction reversal switch located at the front of the tool, usually near the trigger. To reverse the direction:

Ensure the tool is stopped before changing direction
Briefly test the rotation in the new direction before continuing your work

This function allows the tool to be used to force or remove drill bits and accessories. Refer to the user manual provided with your device for the exact location of the switch on your specific model.

Question 2

What are the dimensions of the battery charger connector?

Accepted Answer

The connector of the Black & Decker NV1999 charger is proprietary, and its precise dimensions are not documented in the technical manual for this model. The connector in question (referenced as number 7 in the documentation) is specific to this 2.4 V handheld vacuum cleaner.

To correctly identify this connector, you can:

Physically examine the female connector located at the back of your NV1999 and compare it with photos of the male connector of the charger
Approximately measure the outer diameter of the connector (usually between 4 and 6 mm for this type of 2.4 V battery)
Check that the male connector fits into the female socket of the device without forcing it

Before ordering a replacement charger, contact Black & Decker providing your model number NV1999 to obtain the exact replacement part or consult an authorized Black & Decker distributor who can offer you the compatible charger. The standard charging time for this model is 16 hours with an input voltage of 230 V AC.

Never attempt to tinker with or modify the connector, as this could damage the NiCd/NiMH battery or create short-circuit risks. If the connector is damaged, replacing the entire charger is recommended.

Question 6

Why does the BXRV500E vacuum cleaner not charge and turn off after being unplugged from the base?

Accepted Answer

This problem can have several causes. Here’s how to diagnose them:

First, check the basic elements

Power connection: the base must be plugged into the mains (100-240 V). Make sure the outlet is working properly by testing another device.
Base positioning: place it on a flat floor against a wall, with at least 1 m of clearance on the sides and 3 m in front. Obstacles may block the charging.
Contact vacuum-base: ensure that the device is properly positioned on the base for correct connector contact.

The charging indicator

According to the manual, the blue indicator should blink during charging and stop when the battery is full. If the indicator does not light up at all, the problem is likely with the electrical connection (base poorly plugged in or dirty connectors).

Required charging time

For the first use, the BXRV500E must charge for 4 full hours before using it. If you have just received the device, let it charge uninterrupted.

Why does it turn off quickly after charging?

The BXRV500E has an automatic return-to-base system. When the battery drops to 30%, the device automatically returns to the base and turns off. This is normal - it is not a malfunction.

Error code 14

If you see a red light blinking 14 times, it indicates a charging failure. Check that the device is properly connected to its base and that the connectors are not dirty or damaged.

If the problem persists

If the blue light still does not turn on after checking all these points, there is likely a problem with the battery or internal connectors. In this case, contact the manufacturer's support.

Question 7

How do I open the debris container of the BLACK & DECKER VM1880?

Accepted Answer

To open and empty the debris container of the BLACK & DECKER VM1880:

Press the release button located on the dust container to detach it from the vacuum cleaner
Open the lower flap of the container over a trash bin
Gently tap the container to make the debris fall out

Important: Do not immerse the debris container in water. For optimal performance, regularly empty this 0.5 L container, especially after each use or when the bin is full.

Question 8

Which charger is compatible with the BLACK & DECKER GSBD700 shear?

Accepted Answer

The BLACK & DECKER GSBD700 shear uses a specific charger originally supplied with the tool. According to the technical manual, this charger has the following specifications:

Input voltage: 230V AC
Output voltage: 9-10V DC
Current: 100-120 mA
Charging time: 9 to 14 hours

If you have lost or damaged your original charger, contact an authorized BLACK & DECKER dealer who offers compatible replacement chargers for this model (references 905450XX, 905527XX or 90600XXX depending on your region).

Ensure that the charger matches the 9-10V DC voltage before use to avoid damaging your shear's battery.

Question 9

How does the automatic chain lubrication system work and what should I do if the lubrication does not work?

Accepted Answer

The CS1825ST1 features an automatic chain lubrication system with a 55 ml oil reservoir. A pump automatically distributes the lubricant to the chain and guide during operation.

Check the lubrication operation:

Inspect that the oil reservoir is not empty - refill it if necessary with Black & Decker oil (ref. A6023-QZ) or equivalent.
Before each use, perform a manual lubrication: slowly press the dosing pump (part 17) on the oil cap 4 times, holding for 1 second with each press.
During operation, check that the chain and guide are receiving oil (the chain should slightly show the oil).

If the automatic lubrication still does not work:

Clean the dosing pump - residues or thick oil may clog it.
Ensure that the oil used is not too thick (never use old, thick oil or sewing machine oil).
Inspect the lubrication holes of the guide sprocket (part 21) to ensure they are not blocked.
Check that the chain wraps correctly around the guide and is not misaligned.

If after these checks the system still does not work, the pump may be defective and require replacement.

Question 10

How do I remove the spool holder from the BCSTE636 trimmer?
