Charging Procedure; Operating Instructions - Black & Decker LDX172 Instruction Manual

14. 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.
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 120 Volt 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.
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. 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. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its batteries in a
depleted condition.
TRIGGER SWITCH & REVERSING BUTTON (FIGURE B)
• The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing the trigger switch (1).

trigger switch and depress the
forward/reverse control button to the left.
• To select reverse, depress the forward/
reverse control button the opposite direction.
NOTE: The center position of the control
button locks the tool in the off position.
When changing the position of the control
button, be sure the trigger is released.
