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:
1. Place the battery pack into the toot 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 toot. Do not use the toot
while it is connected to the charger.
