9. Use only the supplied
charger when charging
your unit. The use of any other charger
could damage
the battery or create a hazardous
condition.
10. Use only one charger when charging.
11. Do not attempt to open the charger or the unit. There are no customer serviceable
parts inside. Return to any authorized
Black & Decker service center.
12. DO NOT incinerate
battery packs even if they are severely
damaged
or completely
worn out.
13. 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

INSTRUCTIONS
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.
NOTE:
Do not charge
by means
of an engine
generator
or DC power
source,
Use
only
120V AC,
2. Slide the charger onto the power pack as shown in Figure 2 & 3 and let the power pack
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. Unplug charger, and remove the power pack. Place the power
pack in the unit and
be certain
that it is inserted
fully
into the battery
cavity
until it "clicks"
into place,
NOTE:
To remove the power pack from the unit, press down on the release button on
the back of the pack (Figure 4) and slide 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(+4.5°C),
or above
+105°F (+40.5°C).
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 (24°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 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 (+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 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 unit with its power pack
in a depleted condition.
6. 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 power pack.
LEAVING
THE BATTERY
PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected
with the red light glowing indefinitely.
The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
NOTE:
A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the battery
pack has not been kept on maintenance
charge, it may need to be recharged
before use. A
battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into an
appropriate
AC source.
SWITCH
The switch can be operated
by moving the lever from side to side. The "ON" and "OFF"
positions
are marked on the housing as shown in Figure 1A & 1B.
CAUTION:
DO NOT POtNT
UNtT DISCHARGE
AT SELF OR

SEAL
The RBRC
TM
(Rechargeable
Battery Recycling
Corporation)
Seal on the nickel-cadmium
battery (or battery pack) indicates
that the costs to
recycle the battery (or battery
pack) at the end of its useful life have already
been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent
nickel-cadmium
batteries in the trash or municipal
solid waste stream and the RBRC
program provides an environmentally
conscious
alternative.
RBRC in cooperation
with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established
programs
in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection
of spent nickel-
cadmium
batteries. Help protect our environment
and conserve
natural resources by
returning
the spent nickel-cadmium
battery to an authorized
Black & Decker service center
or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling
center for
information
on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-544-6986
