loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the

ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated
elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches
replaced by authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch
does not turn it on and off.
• CAUTION: When drilling or driving into walls, floors or
wherever live electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT
TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only
by insulated grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if you
drill or drive into a live wire.

4. Allow the tool to remain in this condition for 16 hours.

Important Charging Notes

1. After normal usage, your drill should be fully charged in 16
hours or less. Your drill was sent from the factory in an
uncharged condition. Before attempting to use it, it must be
charged for at least 16 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the batteries in an air temperature below
+40°F or above +105°F. This is important and will prevent
serious damage to the batteries.
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 batteries do not charge properly – (1) Check current at
receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check
to see if the receptacle is connected to a light switch which
turns power off when you turn out the lights.
(3) Move charger and drill 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 tool and
charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See ''Tools
Electric'' in yellow pages.
5. The drill should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient
power on the jobs which previously were done easily. DO NOT
CONTINUE to use the drill with its battery in a depleted
condition.
6. To prolong battery life, avoid leaving the tool on charge for
more than 2 days. Although overcharging is not a safety
concern, it can significantly reduce overall battery life.
7. Since the unit is designed for cordless applications, use of the
unit while plugged in is of no benefit. Batteries will still become
depleted.
