cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord
marked for outdoor use can also be used for
indoor work. The letters "W" or "WA" on the
cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for
outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, and
to prevent loss of power and overheating. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater
the capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has
more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more
than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each extension contains at least the
minimum wire size.

8. Use only the supplied charger when charging your
drill. The use of any other charger could damage the
drill or create a hazardous condition.
9. Use only one charger when charging.
10. Do not attempt to open the charger or the drill. There
are no customer serviceable parts inside. Return to
any authorized BLACK+DECKER service center.
11. DO NOT incinerate the drill or battery packs even if
they are severely damaged or completely worn out.
The batteries can explode in a fire.
12. Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode
in a fire. A small leakage of liquid from the battery
cells may occur under extreme usage, charging
or temperature conditions. This does not indicate
a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this
leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
c.
If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them
with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and
seek immediate medical attention.
Medical Note: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.

Important Charging Notes

1. After normal usage, your drill should be fully charged
in 3-5 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 3 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 the
power pack is charged when the 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.
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 drill with
its power pack in a depleted condition.
