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 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. NOTe: lithium-Ion batteries
should not be put in checked baggage.

BLACk+DeCkeR chargers are designed to
charge BLACk+DeCkeR battery packs in 3.5-4
hours depending on the pack being charged.
1. Plug the charger (8) into an appropriate
outlet before inserting the battery pack (6).
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger as
shown in figure A.
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. for longest battery
life, do not discharge batteries fully. It is
recommended that the batteries be recharged
after each use.

The charger and battery pack can be left
connected with the green LED glowing
indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery
pack fresh and fully charged.

1. 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°-
24°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
in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
