will shut off and the LED will blink rapidly (- - - - -) for 5 seconds. When this occurs
please recharge the battery before using further.
High Temperature Indicator
• This unit has over-temperature protection. When the unit approaches a temperature
above the normal range it will shut off and the LED will flash in a long-short pattern
(- . - . -) for 5 seconds. If this occurs please allow the unit to cool down to an optimal

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.
CAUTION: 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
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 thebatteries do not charge properly—(1) Checkcurrent atreceptacle by pluggingin a lamp or

and charger to your localBlack & Decker service center. See Tools Electric inyellow 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 toolinalocationwherethesurroundingairtemperatureisapproximately40°F-75°F
