Important charging notes

1. After normal usage, your tool should be
fully charged in 1 to 1,5 hours. Your tool
was sent from the factory in an
uncharged condition. Before attempting
to use it, it must be charged for at least 1
hour.
2. Longest life and best performance can
be obtained if the battery pack is
charged when the air temperature is
between 65°F and 75°F (18°C - 24°C).
3. DO NOT charge the batteries in an air
temperature below 40°F (4,5°C) or
above 105°F (+40,5°C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the
batteries.
4. While charging, the charger may hum
and become warm to touch. This is a
normal condition and does not indicate a
problem.
5. If the batteries do not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging
in a lamp or other appliance.
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected
to a light switch which turns power o
when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and tool to a surrounding
air temperature of 40°F (4,5°C) to 105°F
(+40,5°C).
d. If the receptacle and temperature are OK,
and you do not get proper charging, take
or send the tool and charger to your local
BLACK+DECKER service center.
6. The tool should be recharged when it fails
to produce su cient power on jobs
which were easily done previously. DO
NOT CONTINUE using product with its
batteries in a depleted condition.
7. Foreign materials of a conductive nature
such as, but not limited to, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any build up of metallic
particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the
charger from the power supply when
there is no battery pack in the cavity.
