f Insert charger plug into the charging socket of the tool
as shown in fig. B.
f Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz
electrical outlet.
f Let the tool charge initially for at least 16 hours.
After the initial charge, your tool should be fully
charged in 12 hours from a fully discharged condition.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as
possible after use or battery life may be greatly
diminished. For longest battery life, do not
discharge batteries fully. It is recommended that
the batteries be recharged after each use.
Warning! Do not use tool while it is connected to the
charger.
Warning! Fire hazard. When disconnecting the charger
from the tool, be sure to unplug the charger from the outlet
first, then disconnect the charger cord from the tool.
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 the batteries do not charge properly:
a.
Check current at receptacle by plugging in
a lamp or other appliance.
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights.
c.
Check that the charger plug is fully inserted into
the charger port on the tool.
d. If the receptacle is OK, and you do not get proper
charging, take or send the tool and charger
to your local Black & Decker service center.
See Tools Electric in yellow 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 tool in a location where the surrounding
air temperature is approximately 40°F - 75°F
(4.5°C - 24°C).
d. Disconnect charger from tool after charge is
complete.
Warning! Fire hazard. When disconnecting the charger
from the tool, be sure to unplug the charger from the
outlet first, then disconnect the charger cord from the tool.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
DRILLING
Warning! Tool may stall (if overloaded or improperly
used) causing a twist. To reduce the risk of injury
always expect the stall. Grip the tool firmly to control
the twisting action and prevent loss of control which could
