2 . DO NOT charge the battery 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 battery pack. Longest life
and best performance can be obtained if battery 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 battery 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
battery 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 battery
pack and charger to your local Black & Decker service center.
See Tools Electric in yellow pages.
5 . The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT
CONTINUE using unit with its battery pack in a depleted condition.
6 . The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being
cycled 5 times during normal usage. There is no need to run the
battery pack down completely before recharging. Normal usage is
the best method of discharging and recharging the battery pack.
StoraGe recommenDation
1. S tore tool:
a.) with the battery pack removed and on the charger.
b.) in a place that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and
excess heat or cold.
c.) out of the reach of children.
2. For prolonged storage such as over the winter, the battery pack
should be fully charged and then removed from the charger. It
should be charged again just prior to use.
leavinG the BatterY PacK in the charGer
It is OK to leave battery packs on charge for long periods of time.
The charger has a maintenance mode which gives the battery
pack enough charge to stay "topped off". If however, the tool is not
expected to be needed for more than 30 days, unplug the charger
and store battery pack in a cool, dry location. NOTE: A battery
pack will lose its charge when kept off of the charger. If the battery
pack has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be
recharged before use. A battery pack may also lose its charge if left
in a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.
