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.
To charge your tool, follow the steps below.
1. Plug the charger (9) into any standard
120 Volt, 60 Hz electrical outlet.
noTe: Because this tool is equipped with
a USB port, it can be charged through USB
ports. This will require a cable not supplied
by BLACK+DECKER. Ensure the cable
(Micro USB) and port are USB compliant.
2. Insert the USB plug (10) into the charging
port (8), making sure to line up the USB
plug with the port as shown in figure B.
The state of charger indicator (7) LEDs
will illuminate, showing the level of charge
(insert figure B). Once all three LEDs are
lit, the tool is fully charged.
3. Let the tool charge initially for 3 hours.
After the initial charge, under normal
usage, your tool should be fully charged
in 2.5 - 3 hours.
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 charger cord from the tool.
IMPorTanT cHarGInG noTeS
1. After normal usage, your tool should be
fully charged in 2.5 - 3 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.
STaTe of cHarGe IndIcaTor
The battery is equipped with a state of
charge indicator. This can be used to display
the current level of charge in the battery
during use and during charging. It does not
indicate tool functionality and is subject to
variation based on product components,
temperature and end-user application.
checking state of charge:
noTe: Do not check state
of charge while screwdriver
is in use or under load. This
will result in an inaccurate
reading. To receive an
accurate reading, check the
state of charge with the tool
under no load.
• Make sure the forward/
reverse slider (2) is in the forward
position. The state of charge indicator will
not work in reverse or lock-off position.
• Depress the trigger switch (1).
• The three LEDs (C1) will illuminate, indicating
the percent of charge in the battery.
• When all three illuminate, the tool is fully
charged. When one illuminates, charge is
low. If none illuminate, charge battery.
SafeTy warnInGS and
InSTrucTIonS: drIllInG
• Hold tool firmly to control its twisting action.
warnInG:
Tool may stall (if
overloaded or improperly used) causing
a twist. To reduce the risk of injury
always expect the stall. Grip the tool firmly
to control the twisting action and prevent
loss of control which could cause personal
injury. If a stall does occur, release the
trigger immediately and determine the
reason for the stall before re-starting.
