9. Use only the supplied charger when charging your drill. The use of any other charger
could damage the drill or create a hazardous condition.
10. Use only one charger when charging.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack 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 pack 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.
CHARGING THE POWER PACK
Your drill may use either a jack plug charger or a cup charger, both of which are described
below. Please follow the directions for the type of charger that you have. Chargers are
designed to use standard 120 volt AC, 60 Hz power. Do not use DC or any other voltage.
THE BATTERIES IN YOUR POWER PACK ARE NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE
FACTORY. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THEM, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF
THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR JACK PLUG CHARGERS:
1. Place the battery pack into the tool until it “clicks” into place.
2. Insert the charger plug into the connector as shown in figure B.
3. Plug the charger (6) into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet and let the
battery pack charge initially for 9 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage,
your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours.
4. Disconnect the charger from the outlet, then disconnect the charger from the tool.
WARNING: Do not use the tool while it is connected to the charger.
NOTE: To remove the battery pack from the drill, press down on the release button on
the back of the battery pack (figure C) and slide out.
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 9 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage,
your battery pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 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 (9)
on the back of the battery pack (figure C) and slide out.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours. 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 9 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.
