foreign material. 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.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery
pack with any chargers other than the
ones in this manual. The charger and
battery pack are specifically designed
to work together.
• These chargers are not intended
for any uses other than charging
designated Black +Decker
rechargeable batteries. any other uses
may result in risk of fire, electric shock
or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger. This will reduce
risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it
will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is
absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in risk of fire,
electric shock, or electrocution.
• 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.
• Do not place any object on top of
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. The charger is ventilated
through slots in the top and the bottom of
the housing.
• Do not mount charger on wall or
permanently affix charger to any
surface. The charger is intended to use
on a flat, stable surface (i.e., table top,
bench top).
• Do not operate charger with damaged
cord or plug — have them replaced
immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged in any way.
Take it to an authorized service center.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it
to an authorized service center when
service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock, electrocution or fire.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet
before attempting any cleaning. This
will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Removing the battery pack will not reduce
this risk.
• NEvER attempt to connect 2 chargers
together.
• The charger is designed to operate on
standard household electrical power
(120 volts). Do not attempt to use it on
any other voltage.

Important Safety InStructIon
for Battery packS
WARNING:
For safe operation,
read this manual and manuals
originally supplied with tool
before using the charger.

charger, read the safety instructions below.
Then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• 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. Toxic fumes and materials are
created when battery packs are burned.
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Inserting or removing the battery from the
charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• If battery contents come into contact
with the skin, immediately wash area
with mild soap and water. If battery liquid
gets into the eye, rinse water over the
open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation
ceases. If medical attention is needed, the
battery electrolyte for Lithium-Ion batteries
is composed of a mixture of liquid organic
carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may
cause respiratory irritation. Provide
fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek
medical attention.
WARNING:
Burn hazard. Battery
liquid may be flammable if exposed to
spark or flame.
• Charge the battery packs only in
BLACk+DECkER chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or
other liquids. This may cause premature
cell failure.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery
pack in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 105°F (40˚C) (such as
outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
WARNING:
Never attempt to open
the battery pack for any reason. If battery
pack case is cracked or damaged, do not
insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or
damage battery pack. Do not use a
battery pack or charger that has received
a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or
damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a
nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
Damaged battery packs should be
returned to service center for recycling.
