Electrical safety
#
Your charger is double insu-
lated; therefore no earth wire is
required. Always check that the
mains voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Never
attempt to replace the charger
unit with a regular mains plug.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must
u
be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorised BLACK+DECKER Service
Centre in order to avoid a hazard.

Charging the battery

The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenev-
er it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before. The battery may become warm while charging;
this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging tem-
perature: approx. 24 °C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the charger
will begin to charge automatically when the cell tempera-
ture warms up or cools down.
Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
u
(Original instructions)
the battery pack.
Insert the battery pack into the charger.
u
The green LED will flash indicating that the battery is being
charged.
The completion of charge is indicated by the green LED
remaining on continuously. The pack is fully charged and
may be used at this time or left in the charger.
Warning! Recharge discharged batteries as soon as pos-
sible after use or battery life may be greatly diminished.
Charger diagnostics
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can
arise with the battery packs or the power source. Problems
are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.
Bad Battery
The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The red
LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the label. If you see
this bad battery blink pattern, do not continue to charge the
battery. Return it to a service centre or a collection site for
recycling.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot or
excessively cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack delay,
suspending charging until the battery has normalised.
After this happens, the charger automatically switches to
the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum
battery life. The red LED flashes in the pattern indicated on
the label when the Hot/Cold pack delay is detected.
State of Charge Indicator
The battery is equipped with a state of charge indicator.
This can be used to display the current level of charge in the
battery while in the trimmer and during charging. It does not
indicate appliance functionality and is subject to variation
based on product components, temperature and end user
application.
