12. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of the
housing. Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger
on a soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive
internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat source.
13. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced
immediately.
14. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way; take it to an authorized B&D service center.
15. Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized B&D service center
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk
of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
16. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before
attempting any cleaning. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
17. NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
18. DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer).
19. The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power
(120 volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!

1.
Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1)
charger, (2) battery pack, and (3) product using battery pack.

R::
120 volts present at charging terminals. Do not probe with
conductive objects. Danger of electric shock or electrocution.
3.
If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger.
Danger of electric shock or electrocution.
4.
The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together. DO
NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the
ones in this manual.
5.
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
6.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging Univolt™
or Cyclone Series™ rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk
of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
7.
To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than
cord when disconnecting charger.
8.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
9.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or
electrocution.
10. Two wire cords can be used with 2 or 3 wire extension cords. Only round
jacketed extension cords should be used, and we recommend that they be
listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A. in Canada.) The letters WA
on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.
11. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire
Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge.
When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure
each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
