IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (FOR BATTERY AND CHARGER)
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS- This manual contains important safety instructions for
battery chargers.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on battery
charger, battery and product using battery.
3. CAUTION:-To reduce the risk of injury, charge only nickel cadmium rechargeable
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con-
struction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin
may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
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:
1. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed metal end
shown below. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, drawers
etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. Battery could short circuit
causing fire or burns or damage to battery.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire. A small leakage of liquid from
the battery 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.
(SEP-02 -1)
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.
5. Charge batteries only with VersaPak battery charger.
6. 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.
7. Do not use charger for any uses other than charging VersaPak batteries. Other batteries
may explode.
8. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.
9 Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified Black & Decker service center.
10. 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.
11.For best results, do not charge batteries when they or air temperature is BELOW +40°F or
ABOVE +105°F.
12. 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.
13. Unplug charger when not in use.
14. 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.
15. Use only charger supplied by the manufacturer to recharge.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. While charging, the charger transformer may hum and batteries and charger become
warm. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem.
2. 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.
3. The batteries should be recharged when they fail to produce sufficient power on jobs
which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use the tool with its
batteries in a depleted condition.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
Insert the metal end of the VersaPak battery into the charger. The indicator light will glow
indicating that charging is taking place and will remain on as long as the battery is in the
charger. Continuous charging is not a safety concern.
NOTE: Your VersaPak battery was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition.
Before attempting to use it for the first time, it must be charged for 6 hours.
Subsequent charging for most fix up jobs will require 3-6 hours.
