BATTERY CAP INFORMATION
Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the battery is out of the tool
or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.

WARNING:
contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets,
tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without
battery cap. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools
and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)
actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in
!
!
suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So
when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected
WNER
WNER
and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
CHARGING THE POWER PACK
THE BATTERIES IN YOUR POWER PACK ARE NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE
FACTORY. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THEM, 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.
2. Slide the charger onto the battery pack and let it charge initially for 9 hours. After the
initial charge, under normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 9
hours.
3. Remove pack from the charger and place in product. NOTE: To remove the battery, press
down on the release button on the back of the battery and pull out.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 9 hours. If the
power pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 9 hours to become fully charged.
Your power 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 power pack in an air temperature below 40°F or above 105°F. This

: :

is important and will prevent serious damage to the power pack. Longest life and best
performance can be obtained if power pack is charged when air temperature is about
75°F.
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 power 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
power pack to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F to 105°F. (4) If the receptacle and
temperature are OK, and you do not get proper charging, take or send the power pack
and charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See Tools Electric in yellow
pages.
5. The power pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs
which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its power
pack in a depleted condition.
6. To prolong power pack life, avoid leaving the power pack on charge for extended periods
of time (over 30 days without use). Although overcharging is not a safety concern, it can
significantly reduce overall power pack life.
7. When the battery is inserted into the charger, the red "Charging Indicator" light will come
on indicating that there is contact between the battery and charger. The light will stay on
as long as the battery is in the charger and the charger is plugged into a working outlet. It
WILL NOT flash, go out or change to a different color when the charging cycle is
complete.
8. The power pack 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ON/OFF
To turn the light on, depress the button shown in Fig. 1. To turn it off press the button a
second time.
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB (USE BLACK & DECKER REPLACEMENT BULB)
NOTE: If bulb has been lit, let the light cool for several minutes before changing bulb.
Remove battery before changing bulb.
To replace the bulb, insert a flat bladed screwdriver into the slot of the bulb holder and rotate
it 1/4 turn counterclockwise as shown in Figure 2. Remove the bulb holder and rotate the
bulb until the v-shaped notch in the rim of the bulb aligns with the tip of the terminal on the
bulb holder as shown in Figure 3. The bulb is spring loaded and will pop out. To replace the
bulb align it as in Fig. 3 and press in, then rotate 1/4 turn as shown in Figure 4 so that rim of
bulb is locked under the tip of the terminal.
