INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUP CHARGERS:
1. Plug the charger into any standard 120
Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet.
2. Slide the charger (7) onto the battery pack
(5) as shown in figure B1 and let the
battery pack charge initially for 12 hours.
After the initial charge, under normal
usage, your battery pack should be fully
charged in 6 to 12 hours.
3. Unplug charger, and remove the battery
pack. Place the battery pack into the
tool until it "clicks" into place.
NOTE: To remove the battery pack from the drill, press
down on the release button (10) on the back of the
battery pack (figure C) and slide out.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully
charged in 6 to 12 hours. If the battery pack is run-down
completely, it may take up to 12 hours to become fully
charged. Your battery pack was sent from the factory in
an uncharged condition. Before attempting to use it, it
must be charged for at least 12 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the power pack 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 power
pack. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if power pack is charged
when air temperature is about 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 power pack does 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) Move charger
and power pack to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F (4.5°C) to 105° F (40.5°C).
(4) If the receptacle and temperature are OK, and you do not get proper charging,
take or send the power pack and charger to your local Black & Decker service center.
See Tools Electric in yellow pages.
5. The power pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs
which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its power
pack in a depleted condition.
6. To prolong power pack life, avoid leaving the power pack on charge for extended
periods of time (over 30 days without use). Although overcharging is not a safety
concern, it can significantly reduce overall power pack life.
7. When the battery pack is inserted into the charger, the red "Charging Indicator" light will
come on (cup charger only) indicating that there is contact between the battery pack
and charger. The light will stay on as long as the battery pack is in the charger and the
charger is plugged into a working outlet. It WILL NOT flash, go out or change to a
different color when the charging cycle is complete.
8. The power pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times during
normal usage. There is no need to run the batteries down completely before recharging.
Normal usage is the best method of discharging and recharging the batteries.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: DRILLS
1. Hold drill firmly with one hand on the grip and the other hand on the bottom of the
battery pack.
2. When attaching accessories in the drill chuck, hand tighten the keyless chuck firmly.
WARNING:
Drill may stall (if overloaded or improperly used) causing a twist. Always
expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly with both hands to control the twisting action and
prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. If a stall does occur, release
the trigger immediately and determine the reason for the stall before re-starting.
