you turn out the lights.
c. If house current is okay and you do not get proper charging, contact your nearest
Black & Decker Service Center.
4. The appliance should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which
were done easily previously. Do not continue to use the unit under these
conditions. Repeat the charging procedure.

from the appliance. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.

CHARGING THE BATTERY (FIGURE 1)
1. Attach charger cord to the appliance.
2. Plug charger into any 120-volt receptacle. Your appliance is now on charge.
CAUTION: This Charger can be used only with 60 cycle, 115-120 AC voltage.
3. Recharging the appliance will require on the average about 16 hours for it to reach
full capacity. The appliance will not overcharge and can be left on charge
indefinitely throughout the cutting season. One 7-hour charge will restore about 1/2
the battery capacity. A 4-hour charge will give about 8-10 minutes of operation.
Continuous charging may slightly shorten overall battery life, but will not diminish
the running time per charge.
