12. DO NOT charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Inserting or removing the drill from the charger
may ignite the dust or fumes.
13. 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 three minutes or until irritation ceases. If
medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is
composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates
and lithium salts.
Warning! Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your tool should be fully charged
in
1 to 1,5 hours. Your tool was sent from the factory
in an uncharged condition. Before attempting to use it,
it must be charged for at least 1 hour.
2. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature
is between 65°F and 75°F (18°C - 24°C).
3. DO NOT charge the batteries in an air temperature
below 40°F (4,5°C) or above 105°F (+40,5°C).
This is important and will prevent serious damage
to the batteries.
4. While charging, the charger may hum and become
warm to touch. This is a normal condition and does
not indicate a problem.
5. If the batteries do not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in
a lamp or other appliance.
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights.
c. Move charger and tool to a surrounding air
temperature of 40°F (4,5°C) to 105°F (+40,5°C).
d. If the receptacle and temperature are OK, and
you do not get proper charging, take or
send the tool and charger to your local
BLACK+DECKER service center.
6. The tool should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done
previously.
DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its
batteries in a depleted condition.
7. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any build up
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.
8. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any
other liquid.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry
away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger.
