• Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt
60 Hz electrical outlet.
• Let the tool charge initially for at least 16 hours.After
the initial charge, your tool should be fully charged
in 12 hours from a fully discharged condition.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as
possible after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For longest battery life, do not
discharge batteries fully. It is recommended that the batteries be recharged after each use.

Important Charging Notes

1. Your tool was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before attempting to
use it, it must be charged for at least 16 hours.
2. To reduce the risk of damage to the batteries, NEVER charge them
in an air temperature below 40°F (4,5°C) or above 105°F (40,5°C). Also, NEVER
CAUTION:
charge them if the battery temperature is below 40°F (4,5°C) or above 105°F
(40,5°C). Longest life and best performance occurs when batteries are charged with
an air temperature of approximately 75°F (24°C).
3. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem.
4. If the batteries do not charge properly—(1) Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or
other appliance. (2) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off
when you turn out the lights. (3) Check that the charger plug is fully inserted into the charger port
on the tool. (4) If the receptacle is OK, and you do not get proper charging, take or send the tool
and charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See Tools Electric in yellow pages.
5. The tool should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which
were easily done previously. Battery life may be greatly diminished if batteries are
discharged deeply. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its batteries in a depleted
condition. Recharge discharged batteries promptly.
6. To maximize battery life:
a. Do not fully discharge batteries.
b. Fully recharge batteries after each use.
c. Store tool in a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 40°F - 75°F
(4.5°C - 24°C).
d. Disconnect charger from tool after charge is complete.
WARNING: Fire Hazard. When disconnecting the charger from the tool, be sure to
unplug the charger from the outlet first, then disconnect the charger cord from the tool.
