WARNING:
This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California
to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING:
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
■
Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed metal end shown in
figure below. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, drawers etc. with
loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap securely in place on battery. Battery could
short circuit causing fire or burns or damage to battery.
■
Battery caps are provided for use when carrying batteries or while battery is stored in a pocket,
tool box, etc. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool (see figure below).
■
Never attempt to open the battery for any reason. If the housing of the battery breaks or cracks,
immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
■
Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire. A small leakage of liquid from the bat-
tery cells may occur under extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions. This does not
indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and
seek immediate medical attention.
MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
■
Charge batteries only with VersaPak battery charger or charging base.
■
Do not use charger in wet or damp conditions. It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use near
sinks, tubs, or the like. Do not immerse in water.
■
Do not use charger for any uses other than charging VersaPak batteries. Other batteries may
explode. Do not charge any other hand vac in charging base.
■
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 a qualified Black & Decker service center.
■
Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified Black & Decker service center when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in risk of electric shock or fire. There are no
consumer serviceable parts inside.
■
For best results, do not charge batteries when they or air temperature is BELOW +40°F or ABOVE
+105°F.
■
The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking.
■
Unplug charger when not in use.
■
Do not abuse charger cord. To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug and cord, never carry
charger by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep charger cord from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
■

OTES
1. Versapak batteries are not fully charged at the factory. You must charge batteries for 6 hours
before first use.
2. While charging, the charger transformer may hum and batteries and charger become warm. This
is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem.
3. If a battery does not charge properly— (1) Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or
other appliance. (2) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power
off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and batteries to a surrounding air temperature
of +40°F to +105°F. (4) If the receptacle and temperature are ok, and you do not get proper
charging, take or send the batteries and charger to your local Black & Decker service center.
See “Tools Electric” in yellow pages.
4. When you experience sufficient power lose in the middle of a job, stop and recharge batteries.
