WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal
injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Rules for Worklights
1. WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE FLASHLIGHT OR CHARGER NEAR
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR IN GASEOUS OR EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERES. INTERNAL SPARKS MAY IGNITE FUMES.
2. WARNING: Lens and bulb become hot during use.
•
During or immediately after use, don’t lay worklight flat on lens
surface.
•
Don’t touch lens surface when bulb is lit.
•
Handle worklight with care around any flammable surface.
•
If bulb has been lit, let worklight cool for several minutes before
changing bulb.
Safety Rules for Chargers
1. Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings
on (1) charger, (2) battery pack, and (3) product using battery pack.
2. DANGER: 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. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather
than cord when disconnecting charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped
over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10.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.

11.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.
12.Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them
replaced immediately.
13.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.
14.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.
15.To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before
attempting any cleaning. Removing the battery pack will not reduce
this risk.
16.NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
17.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).
18.The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical
power (120 volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!
Safety Rules for Batteries
1. Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is
completely worn out.The battery pack can explode in a fire.
2. A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under
extreme usage or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a
failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on
your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for
a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
(Medical note: The liquid is 25-35% solution of potassium
hydroxide.)
3. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic
housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue
use and do not recharge.
4. Do not carry extra battery packs in aprons, pockets, or tool boxes
along with other metal objects. Battery pack could be short circuited
causing damage to the battery pack and possibly causing severe burn
or fire.

Charging Procedure
98014/97014 (1 Hour Chargers) only
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate AC power outlet.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, as shown in Figure 1, making
sure the pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light
will blink continuously indicating that the charging process has
started.
3. The battery pack will be fully charged in about 1 hour under most
conditions. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light
remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be
used at this time or left in the charger.
