Important Charging Notes
1. After normal usage, your sprayer should be fully charged in 14-18 hours or less. Your
sprayer was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before attempting to use
it, it must be charged for at least 14-18 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the batteries in an air temperature below +40°F (4.4°C) or above
+105°F (40.5°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the batteries.
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 the receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
(3) Move charger and sprayer to a surrounding air temperature of +40°F (4.4°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 sprayer and charger to your local Black & Decker
service center. See "Tools Electric"' in yellow pages.
5. The sprayer should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on the jobs
which previously were done easily. DO NOT CONTINUE to use the sprayer with its
battery in a depleted condition.
6. To prolong battery life, avoid leaving the sprayer on charge for more than 2 days.
Although overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall
battery life.
7. Sprayer will not operate if charger is plugged into unit.
8. Unplug charger from the power supply before disconnecting the charger from the
sprayer. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the
exposed charging plug can be shorted by foreign material and may create a fire
hazard. Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as but not limited to, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any build up of metallic particles should be kept away from the
charging plug. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
