b.) inaplacethatiscoolanddryawayfromdirectsunlightandexcess
heatorcold.
c.) out of the reach of children.
2. For prolonged storage such as over the winter, the battery pack
should be fully charged and then removed from the charger. It
should be charged again just prior to use.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
It is OK to leave battery packs on charge for long periods of time. The
charger has a maintenance mode which gives the battery pack
enough charge to stay “topped off”. If however, the tool is not
expected to be needed for more than 30 days, unplug the charger
and store battery pack in a cool, dry location. NOTE: Abattery pack
will lose its charge when kept off of the charger. If the battery pack
has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be
recharged before use. Abattery pack may also lose its charge if left
in a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in
6 to 9 hours. If the battery pack is run-down completely, it may
take up to 9 hours to become fully charged. Your battery pack
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 pack 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 pack. Longest life
and best performance can be obtained if battery pack is charged
when air temperature is about 75°F (24°C).
3. While charging,the chargermayhumandbecome warmtotouch.This

4. If the battery pack 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 pack 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 pack and charger to your local Black & Decker
service center. See Tools Electric in yellow pages.

6. The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being
cycled 5 times during normal usage. There is no need to run the
battery pack down completely before recharging. Normal usage
is the best method of discharging and recharging the batterypack.
