customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any
authorized Black+Decker service center.
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.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. After normal usage, your tool should be fully charged
in 1 to 1,5 hours. Your tool was sent from the factory
in an uncharged condition. Before attempting to use it,
it must be charged for at least 1 hour.
2. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature
is between 65°F and 75°F (18°C - 24°C).
3. 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.
4. While charging, the charger may hum and become
warm to touch. This is a normal condition and does
not indicate a problem.
5. 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. Move charger and tool to a surrounding air
temperature of 40°F (4,5°C) to 105°F (+40,5°C).
d. 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.
6. 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.
7. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any build up
of metallic particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power
supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
8. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any
other liquid.
TRANSPORTATION
Warning! Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery
pack so that metal objects can contact exposed battery
terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in
aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers,
etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting
batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such
as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department
of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)
actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on
airplanes in carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly
protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual
battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could contact
them and cause a short circuit.
Caution! GoPak battery terminal cap should be used
when battery is not connected to a power tool. Terminal
cap is provided for use whenever the battery is out of the
tool. Remove cap before placing battery into tool.

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry
away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger.
Note: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
