Wall Mounting
Some BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to be wall
mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall
mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical
outlet, and away from a corner or other obstructions which
may impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a
template for the location of the mounting screws on the wall.
Mount the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased
separately) at least 1” (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head
diameter of 0.28–0.35” (7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an
optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32” (5.5 mm) of the
screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger
with the exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.
between 65 ° F – 75 ° F (18 ° C– 24 ° C). DO NOT charge
when the battery pack is below 40 ° F (4.5 ° C), or above
104 ° F (40 ° C). This is important and will prevent serious
damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights;
c. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local service center.
4. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Disconnect the
charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and
grease may be removed from the exterior of the charger
using a cloth or soft non‑metallic brush. Do not use
