Charging
Electrical safety
#
Your charger is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the mains
voltage corresponds to the voltage on the 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
manufacturer or an authorised Black & Decker Service
Centre in order to avoid a hazard.

Assembly
Fitting and removing a screwdriver bit (fig. B)
This tool uses screwdriver bits with a 1/4" (6.35 mm)
hexagonal shank.
To fit a bit, insert the bit shaft into the bit holder (4).
To remove a bit, pull the bit shaft out of the bit holder (4).
Use
Before first use, the battery must be charged for 14 hours.
The battery needs to be charged before first use and
whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that
were easily done before. When charging the battery for
the first time, or after a prolonged storage, it will only
accept an 80% charge. After several charges and
discharge cycles, the battery will attain full capacity.
Place the tool on the charging base whenever it is not in use.
Charging the battery (fig. A)
To charge the battery, insert the charger plug (7) into the
connector (8).
Plug in the charger (6).
Leave the tool connected to the charger for 6 - 10 hours.
The charger may hum and become warm while charging;
this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Generally, a charging time of 6 hours will enable the tool to
operate at an effective power level for most tasks. However,
further charging for up to 10 hours could significantly increase
the run time, depending on the battery and charging
conditions.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 4 °C or above 40 °C.
