Charging Procedure; Important Charging Notes - Black & Decker LD108 Instruction Manual

CHARGER
1. This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and
cautionary warnings on battery charger and product
using battery.
Caution! To reduce the risk of injury, use charger only
with this product. Batteries in other products may burst
causing personal injury or damage.
3. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
4. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
BLACK+DECKER may result in a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord,
pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger.
6. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
7. Use only the supplied charger when charging your
tool. The use of any other charger could damage the
tool or create a hazardous condition.
8. Use only one charger when charging.
9. Do not attempt to open the charger. There are no
customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any
authorized BLACK+DECKER service center.
10. DO NOT incinerate the tool or batteries even if they
are severely damaged or completely worn out. The
batteries can explode in a fire.
11. Do not incinerate the battery even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The batteries can
explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are
created when lithium ion batteries are burned.
12. Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Inserting or removing the drill from the charger
may ignite the dust or fumes.
13. If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the
open eye for three minutes or until irritation ceases.
If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte
is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates
and lithium salts.
Warning! Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable
if exposed to spark or flame.

CHARGING PROCEDURE

The batteries in your tool are not fully charged at the
factory. Before attempting to charge them, thoroughly read
all of the "Safety Instructions".
To charge your tool, follow the steps below.
1. Plug the charger into any standard 120V, 60 Hz
electrical outlet.
2. Insert the charger plug (9) into the charging port (5)
as shown in figure a. The charging indicator LED (8)
will flash, indicating that the battery inside the drill is
being charged. The completion of charge is indicated
by the LED (8) remaining on continuously.
3. Let the tool charge initially for 9 hours. After the initial
charge, under normal usage, your tool should be fully
charged in 3 to 9 hours.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. After normal usage, your tool should be fully charged
in 3 to 9 hours. Your tool 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 batteries 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 batteries. Longest life and best performance can
be obtained if batteries are charged when air
temperature is about 75°F (23,8° 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:
(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 tool 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 tool and charger to your local BLACK+DECKER
service center.
5. The tool should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done
previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its
batteries in a depleted condition.
