WARNING: FOR SAFE OPERATION READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using electric tools basic Safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury including the following:
1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2)
battery, and (3) product using battery.
3. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Black & Decker Power Packs. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Black & Decker may result in a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could
result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed extension cords
should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the
extension is to be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked for outdoor
use can also be used for indoor work. The letters "W" or "WA" on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is
suitable for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to
prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be sure each extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

• Use only the supplied charger when charging your drill. The use of any other charger could damage the drill
or create a hazardous condition.
• Use only one charger when charging.
• Do not attempt to open the charger or the drill. There are no customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any
authorized Black & Decker service center.
• DO NOT incinerate the drill or battery packs even if they are severely damaged or completely worn out. The
batteries can explode in a fire.
• Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire. A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells
may occur under extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure.
However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention. MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 hours or less. If the power pack is
run-down completely, it may take up to 6 hours to become fully charged. Your power pack was sent
from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before attempting to use it, it must be charged for at least 3
hours.
2. DO NOT charge the power pack in an air temperature below 40°F or above 105°F. This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the power pack. Longest life and best performance can be obtained
if the power pack is charged when the air temperature is about 75°F.
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 to
105°F. (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 easi-
ly done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using saw with its power pack in a depleted condition.
6. To prolong power pack life, avoid leaving the power pack on charge for more than 8 hours. Although
overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall power pack life.
7. When the battery is inserted into the charger, the red "Charging Indicator" light will come on indicating
that there is contact between the battery and charger. The light will stay on as long as the battery 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.
THE RBRC™ SEAL
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation)
Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery
(or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by Black & Decker. In some
areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste
stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established programs in the United
States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel-cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment
and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized
Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling
center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY.

•Il faut charger l'ensemble de piles pendant trois heures avant de s'en servir.
•Les piles de l'ensemble ne sont pas complètement chargées. Lire d'abord les mesures
suivantes. Suivre ensuite les notes relatives au chargement.
AVERTISSEMENT : POUR S'ASSURER DU FONCTIONNEMENT SÛR, LIRE GUIDE D'UTILISATION.
mesures de sécurité : chargement
1. Le présent guide renferme d'importantes directives relatives à la sécurité et au fonctionnement.
2. Avant d'utiliser le chargeur de piles, bien lire toutes les directives et les mises en garde qui se trouvent
sur (1) le chargeur de piles, (2) l'ensemble de piles et (3) le produit utilisant l'ensemble de piles.
3. MISE EN GARDE : Afin de minimiser les risques de blessures, charger seulement des ensembles de
piles Black & Decker. D'autres types de piles pourraient exploser et causer des blessures et des dom-
mages.
4. Protéger le chargeur de la pluie et de la neige.
5. L'utilisation d'accessoires non recommandés ni vendus par Black & Decker présente des risques d'in-
cendie, de secousses électriques ou de blessures.
6. Il vaut mieux tirer sur la fiche que sur le cordon pour débrancher le chargeur afin de minimiser les
risques de dommages à la fiche et au cordon.
7. S'assurer que le cordon est situé de sorte qu'on ne puisse marcher dessus, y trébucher, l'endommager
ou le soumettre à toute autre contrainte.
8. Utiliser un cordon de rallonge seulement en cas d'absolue nécessité. L'utilisation d'un cordon de ral-
longe inapproprié présente des risques d'incendie ou de secousses électriques.
a. Les cordons bifilaires peuvent être utilisés avec un cordon de rallonge muni de 2 ou de 3 fils. Il faut
seulement utiliser des cordons de rallonge à gaine ronde homologués par l'organisme américain
Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). Lorsque le cordon de rallonge est utilisé à l'extérieur, il doit être prévu
à cet effet. Tout cordon extérieur peut servir à l'intérieur. Les lettres «W» ou «WA» sur la gaine du cor-
don indiquent que celui-ci convient pour une utilisation à l'extérieur.
b. Les cordons de rallonge doivent être faits de conducteurs de calibre approprié (AWG ou jauge améri-
caine des fils) par mesure de sécurité et afin de prévenir les pertes de puissance et les surchauffes. Le
numéro de calibre du fil est inversement proportionnel à la capacité du cordon. Ainsi, un cordon de
calibre 16 a une capacité supérieure à un cordon de calibre 18. Lorsqu'il est nécessaire d'utiliser plus
d'un cordon de rallonge, veiller à ce que chaque cordon ait au moins le calibre minimal.

9. Utiliser seulement le chargeur fourni pour charger la perceuse. L'utilisation de tout autre chargeur peut
endommager la perceuse et être dangereuse.
10. Utiliser un seul chargeur à la fois.
11. Ne pas tenter de démonter le chargeur ni la perceuse. L'utilisateur ne peut les réparer. En confier les
réparations à un centre de service autorisé Black & Docker.
12. NE PAS incinérer la perceuse ni les ensembles de piles même si ceux-ci sont très endommagés ou com-
plètement usés. La chaleur des flammes risque de les faire exploser.
