Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
WARNING
:
Read all safety warnings
and all instructions for the battery pack, charger
and power tool. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
•
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 BLACK+DECKER rechargeable
batteries.
Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric
shock or electrocution.
•
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
•
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger.
This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug 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.
•
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.
•
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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Not Recommended
•
Do not place any object on top of the 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 operate the charger with a damaged cord
or plug.
•
Do not operate the 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 the 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.
1. The battery and all other contents must be in their
original packing materials and arranged as received
(including the battery in its original plastic bag and/or
battery box).
2. The original product box and all other packing materials
must be undamaged.
3. The shipment must be include a document which
contains the following:
• The package contains lithium-ion cells or batteries.
• The package must be handled with care and that a
flammability hazard exists if the package is damaged.
• Special procedures should be followed in the event
the package is damaged, to include inspection and
repacking if necessary.
• The telephone numbers for additional information (US
and Canada 1-888-698-2571, Els1-410-329-
9200).
• To ship by ground in a generic box, contact your
carrier for up to date instructions. Have your contents
(including the battery) with you when contacting them.
The specifications written on them will be needed to
prepare them for shipment, pack them in a compliant
box, and properly label the box.
These batteries can be carried on airplanes if:
1. The airline allows spare batteries up to 160 Whr (check
airline website)
2. No more than 2 batteries are carried on, and
3. The batteries are protected against short circuit.
The information provided in this section of the manual is
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the
time the document was created. However, no warranty,
expressed or implied, is given. T
he shipper is responsible
to comply with the applicable regulations.
