3. Electrical safety
Your tool is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the main
voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized
Black & Decker Service Center or an equally
qualified person in order to avoid damage or
injury. If the power cord is replaced by an equally
qualified person, but not authorized by Black &
Decker, the warranty will not be valid.

Do not use the unit for charging dry-cell batteries that are
commonly used with home appliances. These batteries
may burst and cause injury to persons and damage
property. Use the unit for charging/boosting a Lead-Acid
battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low-
voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor
application.
Warning! Shock hazard:
f
If an extension cord is used, make sure that:
a) the pins of extension cord are the same number,
size and shape as those in the charger,
b) the extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition,
c) the wire size is large enough for the AC rating of
the charger as indicated in the table on page 1.
f
Do not operate unit with damaged cord or plug;
or if the unit has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged in any way. Do not disassemble
the unit; take it to a qualified service technician
when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or
fire, and will void warranty.
f
Use of an attachment not supplied, recommended or
sold by manufacturer specifically for use with this unit
may result in a risk of electrical shock and injury to
persons.
f
Never submerge this unit in water; do not expose it to
rain, snow or use when wet.
f
To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect
the unit from any power source before attempting
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls without
disconnecting will not reduce this risk.
Warning! Risk of explosive gases:
f
Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is
dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases
during normal battery operation. For this reason,
it is of the utmost importance that each time before
using the jump-starter you read this manual and follow
instructions exactly.
f
To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow
these instructions and those published by the
battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any
equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the
battery. Review cautionary markings on these
products and on the engine.
f
This equipment employs parts (switches, relays, etc.)
