CHARGING PROCEDURE

Use only with BLACK+DECKER BDCAC60 Series
chargers. Use only with BLACK+DECKER 60V MAX*
batteries. BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to
charge BLACK+DECKER battery packs.

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate
outlet before inserting the battery pack.

2.

Insert the battery pack into the charger.

3. The green LED will flash
indicating that the battery is being
charged.

4. The completion of charge
is indicated by the green LED
remaining on continuously. The pack
is fully charged and may be used at
this time or left on the charger.

Recharge discharged batteries as soon
as possible after use or battery life
may be greatly diminished.

CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS

This charger is designed to detect certain
problems that can arise with the battery
packs or the power source. Problems are
indicated by one LED flashing in different
patterns.

BAD BATTERY

The charger can detect a weak
or damaged battery. The red LED
flashes in the pattern indicated

continue to charge the battery.
Return it to a service center or a
collection site for recycling.

HOT/COLD PACK DELAY

When the charger detects a
battery that is excessively hot or
excessively cold, it automatically
starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the
battery has normalized. After this
happens, the charger automatically
switches to the Pack Charging
mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life. The red LED
flashes in the pattern indicated on
the label when the hot / cold pack
delay is detected.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. Longest life and best performance
can be obtained if the battery pack is
charged when the air temperature is
between 60°F and 80°F (16°- 27°C).
DO NOT charge the battery pack 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 battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may
become warm to touch while charging.
This is a normal condition, and does

not indicate a problem. To facilitate the
cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack
in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed, or an uninsulated trailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge
properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by

plugging in a lamp or other appliance

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected

to a light switch which turns power off
when you turn out the lights.

c. Move charger and battery pack

to a location where the surrounding
air temperature is approximately 60°F

- 80°F (16° - 27°C).

d. If charging problems persist, take the

tool, battery pack and charger to your
local service center.

4. The battery pack should be recharged
when it fails to produce sufficient
power on jobs which were easily done
previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to
use under these conditions. Follow
the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever
you desire with no adverse affect on the
battery pack.

5.

Foreign materials of a conductive
nature such as, but not limited to, steel
wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of
metallic particles should be kept away
from charger cavities. Always unplug the
charger from the power supply when there
is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug
charger before attempting to clean.

6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in
water or any other liquid.

MOWING TIPS

WARNING: ALWAYS INSPECT

AREA WHERE MOWER IS TO BE
USED AND REMOVE ALL STONES,
STICKS, WIRE, BONES, AND OTHER
DEBRIS WHICH MIGHT BE THROWN
BY THE ROTATING BLADE.

1. WARNING: Mow across the face

of slopes, never up-and-down. Exercise
extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes. Do not mow
excessively steep slopes. Always
maintain good footing.

2. Release bail handle to turn mower
“OFF” when crossing any gravel area
(stones can be thrown by the blade).

3. Set mower at highest cutting height
when mowing in rough ground or in
tall weeds. Removing too much grass
at one time can cause the motor to
be overloaded and to stop. Refer to
troubleshooting guide.

4.

If a grass collection bag (8) is used
during the fast growing season, the grass
may tend to clog up at the discharge
opening. Release bail handle to turn
mower off and remove the safety key.
Remove the catcher and shake the grass
down to the back end of the bag. Also
clean out any grass or debris which
may be packed around the discharge
opening. Replace the grass catcher.

5. If mower should start to vibrate
abnormally, release bail handle to turn
mower off and remove safety key. Check
immediately for cause. Vibration is a
warning of trouble. Do not operate mower
until a service check has been made.
Refer to troubleshooting guide in manual.

6. ALWAYS RELEASE BAIL HANDLE

TO TURN MOWER OFF AND
REMOVE SAFETY KEY WHEN
LEAVING IT UNATTENDED EVEN
FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS WILL
HELP YOU TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM RUN
TIME FROM YOUR CORDLESS MOWER:

1. Slow down in areas where the grass is
especially long or thick.

2. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet
from rain or dew-soaked.

3. Cut your lawn frequently, especially
during high growth periods.

NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
YOUR MOWER BE RECHARGED
AFTER USE TO PROLONG THE
BATTERY LIFE. FREQUENT CHARGING
WILL NOT HARM YOUR BATTERY,
AND WILL ENSURE THAT THE
BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED AND
READY FOR ITS NEXT USE. STORING
BATTERY NOT FULLY CHARGED WILL
SHORTEN BATTERY LIFE.

REMOVING AND INSTALLING
BLADE

DANGER: RISK OF INJURY.

WHEN REASSEMBLING THE BLADE
SYSTEM, ENSURE EACH PART IS
REINSTALLED CORRECTLY, AS
DESCRIBED BELOW. IMPROPER
ASSEMBLY OF THE BLADE OR OTHER
PARTS OF THE BLADE SYSTEM MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

1. WARNING: RELEASE BAIL

HANDLE TO TURN MOWER OFF,
WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP, AND
REMOVE SAFETY KEY AND BATTERY
PACKS.

2. Cut a piece of 2x4 wood (34) (about
2 feet long) (610 mm) to keep blade
from turning while removing bolt (35).

3. WARNING: Wear gloves and
proper eye protection. Turn the mower
on its side. Be careful of sharp edges
of blade. Position wood and unscrew
bolt counterclockwise with a 1/2”
(13mm) wrench (36) as shown in
Figure V.

4. Remove bolt (35) and washer (37). Pull
off blade (38) as shown in Figure W.
The fan (39) should not be removed.
Examine all pieces for damage and
replace if necessary.

5. The blade can only be attached to the
fan in one direction. To reassemble,
line up the D-shaped hole of the blade
with the D-shaped post of the fan,
ensuring the writing on the blade faces
out away from the mower.

6. To tighten, position the piece of wood
as shown in Figure X to keep the
blade from turning. Slide the bolt
through the washer and tighten the
bolt clockwise into place with a 1/2”
(13mm) wrench (36) as shown in

BLADE SHARPENING

KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER
PERFORMANCE. A DULL BLADE DOES
NOT CUT GRASS CLEANLY.

WARNING: USE PROPER EYE

PROTECTION WHILE REMOVING,
SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING BLADE.
ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY AND
BATTERY PACK IS REMOVED.
Sharpening the blade twice during a
mowing season is usually sufficient under
normal circumstances. Sand causes the
blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has
sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may
be required.

REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE
IMMEDIATELY.
