6.To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.

7.Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

8.An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

a.Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed extension cords should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension is to be used outside, the 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.

9.Use only the supplied charger when charging your drill. The use of any other charger could damage the drill or create a hazardous condition.

10.Use only one charger when charging.

11.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.

12.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.

13.A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack 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 pack 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.

CHARGING THE POWER PACK

Your drill may use either a jack plug charger or a cup charger, both of which are described below. Please follow the directions for the type of charger that you have. Chargers are designed to use standard 120 volt AC, 60 Hz power. Do not use DC or any other voltage.

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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR JACK PLUG CHARGERS: B

 

1.

Place the battery pack into the tool until it

 

 

“clicks” into place.

 

2.

Insert the charger plug into the connector as

 

 

shown in figure B.

3.

Plug the charger (6) into any standard 120

 

Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet and let the battery

 

 

pack charge initially for 12 hours. After the

 

 

initial charge, under normal usage, your

 

 

power pack should be fully charged in 6 to 12

 

 

hours.

 

4. WARNING: Fire Hazard. Disconnect the charger from the outlet first, then disconnect the charger from the tool. Do not use the tool while it is connected to the charger.
