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. Do not
allow any liquid to get inside charger.
CAUTION:
BURN HAZARD. To
reduce the risk of injury, charge only
designated BLACK+DECKER batteries.
Other types of batteries may burst
causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION:
Under certain
conditions, with the charger plugged in to
the power supply, the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign
materials of a conductive nature such as,
but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum
foil, or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from
the power supply when there is no battery
pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
WARNING:
• 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 designated
BLACK+DECKER rechargeable
batteries. Any other uses may result in risk
of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
WARNING:
The charger supplied with
this product is intended to be plugged in
such that it is correctly orientated in a
vertical or floor mount position.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
BATTERY PACKS
WARNING:
For safe operation,
read this manual and manuals originally
supplied with tool before using the charger.
The battery pack is not fully charged out
of the carton. Before using the battery
pack and charger, read the safety
instructions below. Then follow charging
procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not incinerate the battery pack
even if it is severely damaged or
is completely worn out. The battery
pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes
and materials are created when battery
packs are burned.
• Do not charge or use battery in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Inserting or removing the battery from
the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• If battery contents come into contact
with the skin, immediately wash area
with mild soap and water. If battery liquid
gets into the eye, rinse water over the
open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation
ceases. If medical attention is needed,
the battery electrolyte for Li-ion batteries
is composed of a mixture of liquid organic
carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may
cause respiratory irritation. Provide
fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek
medical attention.
