• 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.

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 the battery pack liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean
water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. MEDICAL
NOTE: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
• 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).
