1. Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz
electrical outlet.
2. Insert the charger plug (9) into the charging port (5)
as shown in figure A. The charging indicator leD
(8) will flash, indicating that the battery inside the
drill is being charged. The completion of charge is
indicated by the leD (8) remaining on continuously.
3. let the tool charge initially for 13 hours. After the
initial charge, under normal usage, your tool should
be fully charged in 12 to 15 hours.

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 batteries 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 batteries.
longest life and best performance can be obtained if batteries are charged when air
temperature is about 75°F (23,8° 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 batteries do 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
tool 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 tool and charger to your local BlACk+DeCker service center. See Tools
electric in yellow pages.
5. The tool should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which
were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUe using product with its batteries in a
depleted condition.
