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.
WARNING:
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
105°f (40˚C) (such as outside sheds
or metal buildings in summer).
WARNING:
Never attempt to open
the battery pack for any reason. If battery
pack case is cracked or damaged, do not
insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or
damage battery pack. Do not use a
battery pack or charger that has received
a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or
damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a
nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
Damaged battery packs should be
returned to service center for recycling.
WARNING:
fire hazard. Do not
store or carry battery so that metal
objects can contact exposed battery
terminals. For example, do not place
battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with
loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
Transporting batteries can possibly
cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials such as keys,
coins, hand tools and the like. The US
Department of Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibit transporting batteries in
commerce or on airplanes (i.e., packed in
suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS
they are properly protected from short
circuits. So when transporting individual
batteries, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated
from materials that could contact them
and cause a short circuit.
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-term storage will not harm the
battery pack or the charger as long as
the battery is not depleted..
CHARGING pROCEDURE
BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed
to charge only BLACK+DECKER battery
packs: LCS36 (2 hrs), LCS436 (6 hrs).
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate
outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.
3. The green LED will flash
indicating that the battery is being
charged.
4. The completion of charge
is indicated by the green LED
remaining on continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may
be used at this time or left on the
charger.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon
as possible after use or battery life
may be greatly diminished.
CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS
This charger is designed to detect certain
problems that can arise with the battery packs
or the power source. Problems are indicated
by one LED flashing in different patterns.
bAD bATTERy
The charger can detect a weak
or damaged battery. The red LED
flashes in the pattern indicated
on the label. If you see this bad
battery blink pattern, do not
continue to charge the battery.
Return it to a service center or a
collection site for recycling.
HOT/COlD pACk DElAy
When the charger detects a
battery that is excessively hot or
excessively cold, it automatically
starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the
battery has normalized. After this
happens, the charger automatically
switches to the Pack Charging
mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life. The red LED
flashes in the pattern indicated on
the label when the hot / cold pack
delay is detected.
ImpORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. Longest life and best performance
can be obtained if the battery pack is
charged when the air temperature is
between 60°F and 80°F (16°- 27°C).
DO NOT charge the battery pack 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 battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may
become warm to touch while charging.
This is a normal condition, and does
not indicate a problem. To facilitate the
cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack
