IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERY CHARGERS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
This
manual contains important safety
instructions for battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings
on charger, battery pack, and product
using battery pack.
WARNING:
SHOCK HAZARD.
Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet
before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be
removed from the exterior of the charger
using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do
not use water or any cleaning solutions.
WARNING:
SHOCK HAZARD.
Do
not allow any liquid to get inside the
charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING:
BURN HAZARD.
Do not
submerge the battery pack in any liquid or
allow any liquid to enter the battery pack.
Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason. If the plastic housing of the
battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a
service center for recycling.
CAUTION:
BURN HAZARD
. To
reduce the risk of injury, charge only
BLACK+DECKER rechargeable battery
packs. Other types of batteries may
overheat and burst resulting in personal
injury and property damage.
CAUTION:
Under certain
conditions, with the charger plugged into
the power supply, the charger can be
shorted by foreign material.
WARNING:
•
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery
pack with any chargers other than
those specified by the manufacturer.
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.
• When operating a charger outdoors,
always provide a dry location.
• If use of an extension cord is absolutely
necessary outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
•
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.
