6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug
rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on,
tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
8. 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.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extension
cords. Only round jacketed extension cords should be used, and
we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(U.L.). If the extension is to be used outside, the cord must be
suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked for outdoor use can
also be used for indoor work. The letters "W" or "WA" on the cord
jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of power
and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more
capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to
make up the total length, be sure each extension contains at
least the minimum wire size.

9. Use only the supplied charger when charging your unit. The use
of any other charger could damage the battery pack or create a
hazardous condition.
10. Use only one charger when charging.
11. Do not attempt to open the charger or the unit. There are no
customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any authorized
Black & Decker service center.

12. DO NOT incinerate battery packs even if they are severely
damaged or completely worn out.
13. Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire. 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
THE BATTERY PACK IS NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE
FACTORY. CHARGE BATTERY PACK FOR AT LEAST 9 HOURS
BEFORE USE.
The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz
power.
1. Plug the charger (14) into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical
outlet. NOTE: Do not charge by means of an engine
generator or DC power source. Use only 120V AC.
2. Slide the charger (14) onto the battery pack (6) as shown in
figure B and let the battery pack charge initially for 9 hours.
After the initial charge, under normal usage, your battery pack
should be fully charged in 6 to 9 hours.
2a) During charging the green LED will appear.
2b) When charging is complete the green LED will go off.
3. Unplug charger, and remove the battery pack. Place the battery
pack in the tool and be certain that it is inserted fully into
the tool cavity until it “clicks” into place.
NOTE: Remove the battery pack by pressing down on the release
button (18) on the back of the battery pack (figure C) and slide out.
