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.
•
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.
•
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 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.

•
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 Lithium-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.
warnInG:
Burn hazard. Battery liquid
may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
•
Charge the battery packs only in
Black+decker chargers.
•
do noT splash or immerse in water or
other liquids. This may cause premature
cell failure.
•
do not store or use the tool and
battery pack in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed
