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. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
8. Use only the supplied charger when charging your tool. The use of any other charger
could damage the tool or create a hazardous condition.
9. Use only one charger when charging.
10. Do not attempt to open the charger. There are no customer serviceable parts inside.
Return to any authorized Black & Decker service center.
11. DO NOT incinerate the tool or batteries even if they are severely damaged or
completely worn out. The batteries can explode in a fire.
12. A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under extreme usage,
charging or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the
outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum
of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK (FIG. B)
THE SCREWDRIVER IS NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
CHARGE THE SCREWDRIVER, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
The charger (8) is designed to use standard household power.

2. Plug the charger (8) into any standard electrical outlet and let the tool charge initially for 30 hours.
A minimum charge time of 30 hours is required to recharge a completely discharged tool.

3. Disconnect the charger from the outlet, then disconnect the charger from the tool.
CAUTION! Do not use the tool while it is connected to the charger.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the tool is charged when the air temperature
is between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the tool 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.
2. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal condition and
does not indicate a problem.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. To prolong battery life, avoid leaving on charge for extended periods of time (over 30 days
