CHARGING THE POWER PACK

The batteries in your power pack are not fully charger at the
factory. Before attemting to charger them, thoroughly read all
of "The Safety Instructions".
The 5-7 hours charger is designed to use standard household
power.

(Fig. A, 2) and remove power pack from the tool.
2. Plug the charger into any standard electrical outlet.
3. Insert the power pack into the charger and let it charge for
5-7 hours.
4. Remove pack from the charger and replace in tool.
Important Charging Notes
1. After normal usage, your drill should be fully charged
in 5-7 hours or less. Your drill 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.
5. The power pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done
previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using drill with its power
pack in a depleted condition.
6. To prolong power pack life, avoid leaving the power pack
on charge for more than 5-7 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.

button the opposite direction. The center position of the
control button locks the tool in the off position. When

rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal
and does not indicate a problem.
