rating plate. Never attempt to replace the charger
unit with a regular mains plug.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
u
manufacturer or an authorised BLACK+DECKER Service

Charging the battery (fig. E)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and
whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were
easily done before. The battery may become warm while
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the
charger will begin to charge automatically when the cell
temperature warms up or cools down.
To charge the battery (4), insert it into the charger (16).
u
The battery will only fit into the charger in one way. Do
not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the
charger.
Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.
u
The charging indicator (16a) will flash green continuously
(slowly).
The charge is complete when the charging indicator (16a)
lights green continuously. The charger and the battery can
be left connected indefinitely with the LED illuminated. The
LED will change to flashing green (charging) state as the
charger occasionally tops up the battery charge. The charging
indicator (16a) will be lit as long as the battery is connected to
the plugged-in charger.
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
u
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery
pack fresh and fully charged.
Charger diagnostics
If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the
charging indicator (16a) will flash red at a fast rate.
