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

Use
Charging the battery (fi g. C)
The battery needs to be charged before fi rst use and
whenever it fails to produce suffi cient power on jobs that
were easily done before. A new battery or a battery that
has not been used for a long period of time achieves full
performance only after approximately 5 charging and
discharging cycles. After normal use, a charging time of
12 hours will enable the tool to operate at an effective
power level for most tasks. However, further charging for
up to 24 hours could signifi cantly increase the run time,
depending on the battery and charging conditions. 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 4 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended
charging temperature: approx. 24 °C.
•
To charge the battery, insert the charger plug (7) into
the connector (3).
•
Plug in the charger.
•
Switch on at the mains.
•
Leave the tool connected to the charger for at least
12 hours.
The tool can be left connected to the charger indefi nitely.
The charger may hum and become warm while charging;
this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
•
Before using the tool, unplug the charger and
disconnect the tool from the charger.
Warning! Do not use the tool while it is connected to
the charger.

Hints for optimum use
•
Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver
bit.
•
If screws are diffi cult to tighten, try applying a small
amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
•
Use the spindle lock to loosen very tight screws or
to fi rmly tighten screws.
•
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight
line with the screw.
•
When screwing in wood, it is recommended to drill
a pilot hole with a depth equal to the length of the
screw. A pilot hole guides the screw and prevents
splintering or distortion of the wood. For the optimum
size of the pilot hole, refer to the table below.
•
When screwing in hardwood, also drill a clearance
hole with a depth equal to half the length of the
screw. For the optimum size of the clearance hole,
refer to the table below.
