10.Use only one charger when charging.
11. Do not attempt to open the charger. There are no customer
serviceable parts inside. Return to any authorized Black & Decker
service center.
12.DO NOT incinerate the tool or battery even if they are severely
damaged or completely worn out. The batteries can explode in a
fire.
13.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
THE BATTERY IS NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY,
THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz
power.
1. Plug the charger 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 onto the battery as
shown in figure 1 and let the battery
charge initially for 9 hours. After the
initial charge, under normal usage, your

Important Charging Notes
1. After normal usage, your battery should be fully charged in 3 to
6 hours. If the battery is run-down completely, it may take up to
6 hours to become fully charged. Your battery 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 battery 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 battery. Longest life and best
performance can be obtained if battery is charged when air
temperature is about 75°F.(24°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 battery does 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
battery 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 battery
and charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See
Tools Electric in yellow pages.
5. The battery should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO
NOT CONTINUE using product with its battery pack in a
depleted condition.
6. To prolong battery life, avoid leaving the battery on charge for
extended periods of time (over 30 days without use). Although
overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce
overall battery pack life.
7. The battery will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5
times during normal usage. There is no need to run the batteries
down completely before recharging. Normal usage is the best
method of discharging and recharging the batteries
