9. Use only the supplied charger when charging your tool. 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. There are no customer serviceable parts
inside. Return to any authorized Black & Decker service center.
12. DO NOT incinerate the 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 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.
Charging the Battery Pack
THE BATTERY PACK IS NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF
THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.

charge by means of an engine generator or DC power source. Use only 120V
AC
2. Slide the charger onto the battery pack as shown in Figure A and let the battery
charge initially for 9 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage, your
battery pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours.
3. Unplug charger, and remove the battery pack. Place the battery in the tool and
be certain that it is inserted fully into the tool cavity until it “clicks” into
place.
