Important Safety Instructions for All
Integral Battery Charging
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
and cautionary markings for the battery, charger
and product. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
•
The provided charger is not intended for any uses
other than charging BLACK+DECKER rechargeable
tools. Charging other types of tools may cause
their batteries to overheat and burst, resulting in
personal injury, property damage, fire, electric shock
or electrocution.
•
DO NOT expose charger to water, rain or snow.
•
Pull by the plugs rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger.
This will reduce the risk of
damage to the plugs and cord.
•
Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not
be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
•
When charging the tool outdoors, always provide a
dry location.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation.
Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention.

or flame.

Never attempt to open the tool for any reason. If the
tool case is cracked or damaged, do not charge. Do
not crush, drop or damage the tool. Do not use a tool or
charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run
over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit
with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged tools should be
returned to the service center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. Store the fully
charged tool disconnected from the charger.
