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 as shown in Figure 1 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 6 hours.
3. Remove pack from the charger and
place in product. NOTE: To remove
the battery from the product, press
down on the release button on the
back of the battery (Figure 2) and
pull out.
IMPORTANT CHARGING
N O T E S
1. After normal usage, your power
pack should be fully charged in 3 to
6 hours. If the power pack is run-
down completely, it may take up to 6
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
7/16/02 3:54 PM Page 6
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.

snow.
5. Use of an attachment not
recommended or sold by Black &
Decker may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric
plug and cord, pull by plug rather

charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it
will not be stepped on, tripped over,

stress.
8. An extension cord should not be
