Charging

Before attempting to charge the sprayer, thoroughly read ALL of the safety instructions. To charge, follow the steps below.

1. Pull the socket cover out and over and plug the output cord of the charger into the socket in the back of the sprayer housing as shown in figure 1.

2. Plug the charger into any standard 120 VAC, 60 Hz electrical outlet.

3. Allow the sprayer power head to remain on charge for 14-18 hours.

4. After the power head has been completely charged, remove the charger cord and replace the socket cover.

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.

In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickelcadmium batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative. RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickelcadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY.
