9. Use only the supplied charger when charging your unit. The use
of any other charger could damage the battery pack or create a
hazardous condition.
10. Use only one charger when charging.
11. Do not attempt to open the charger or the unit. There are no
customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any authorized Black
& Decker service center.
12. DO NOT incinerate battery packs even if they are severely
damaged or completely worn out.
13. Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire. A small
leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under extreme
usage, charging 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 the battery 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.
