CHARGING

1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary warnings on battery charger and product using battery.
   CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use charger only with this product. Batteries in other products may burst causing personal injury or damage.
3. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
4. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by BLACK+DECKER may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
6. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

7. 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.

   1. 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.
   2. 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.

   Chart for minimum wire size (AWG) of Extension Cords Nameplate rating AMPS – 0 – 10.

   Total Extension Cord Length (ft)	0-25 (0-7,6m)	26-50 (7,6-15,2m)	51-100 (15,2-30,4m)	101-150 (30,4-45,7m)

10. Do not attempt to open the charger. There are no customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any authorized BLACK+DECKER service center.
11. DO NOT incinerate the tool or batteries even if they are severely damaged or completely worn out. The batteries can explode in a fire.
12. Do not incinerate the battery even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The batteries can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium ion batteries are burned.
13. Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence offlammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the drill from the charger mayignite the dust or fumes.
14. If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for three minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts. 

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

CHARGING PROCEDURE

THE BATTERIES IN YOUR TOOL ARE NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THEM, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

1. The charger port (7) is keyed to lock out other chargers. Align the tab in the charger plug (9) with the key in the charging port.
2. Plug the charger plug into the charger port of the tool as shown in Figure B.
3. Plug the charger (8) into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet.
4. Let the tool charge initially for at least 23 hours. After the initial charge, your tool should be fully charged in 23 hours from a fully discharged condition. Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For longest battery life, do not discharge batteries fully. It is recommended that the batteries be recharged after each use.

NOTE: The red LED on the charger indicates the unit is charging, when the LED is off the unit is charged. NOTE: If your tool has been deeply discharged it may take several minutes for the charger LED to illuminate after connection to the tool.
WARNING: Do not use tool while it is connected to the charger.
WARNING: Fire Hazard. When disconnecting the charger from the tool, be sure to unplug the charger from the outlet first, then disconnect the chager cord from the tool.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. After normal usage, your tool should be fully charged in 8 - 10 hours. Your tool 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 batteries 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 batteries. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if batteries are charged when air temperature is about 75°F (23,8° 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 batteries do 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 tool 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 tool and charger to your local BLACK+DECKER service center.
5. The tool should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its batteries in a depleted condition

• Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as instructed in the safety instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the safety instructions.
• Use light pressure until the hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit.
• Use enough pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
• Hold the tool firmly to control its twisting action.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED TOOL OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE TOOL CAN RESULT. To remove:
• Put tool in reverse and back drill bit out.
• Turn tool off and back bit out by hand.
• Remove bit with pliers.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure and slowly drilling through last part of hole.
