• 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. Do not attempt to use it
on any other voltage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR

BATTERY PACKS


WARNINGS! For safe operation, read this manual and
manuals originally supplied with tool before using the
charger.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton.
Before using the battery pack and charger, read the safety
instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
REaD all INsTRUCTIoNs
• 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.

WARNINGS! 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 ºC) (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.

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
