DO NOT charge or use the battery in explosive
•
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the plug
from the tool may ignite the dust or fumes.
ONLY CHARGE the tool with provided charger
•
DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
•
DO NOT allow water or any liquid to enter tool.
•
DO NOT store or use the tool in locations where the
•
temperature may reach or exceed 104 °F (40 °C) (such
as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer). For
best life store tools in a cool, dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the tool with the switch locked on.
Never tape the switch in the ON position.
DO NOT incinerate the tool even if it is severely
•
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery can
explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created
when lithium‑ion batteries are burned.
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 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.
Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark
•
or flame.
Never attempt to open the tool for any reason. If the
•
tool case is cracked or damaged, do not charge. Do
not crush, drop or damage the tool. Do not use a tool or
charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run
over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit
with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged tools should be
returned to the service center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. Store the fully
charged tool disconnected from the charger.
Transportation
nOTE: Integral Li‑ion tools should not be put in checked
baggage on airplanes and must be properly protected from
short circuits if they are in carry‑on baggage.
Tool Disposal
This product uses a lithium‑ion rechargeable and recyclable
battery. When the battery no longer holds a charge, the tool
should be recycled. The tool should not be incinerated or
placed in the trash.
The tool can be taken for disposal to an Authorized Service
Center. Some local retailers are also participating in a national
recycling program (refer to RBRC®). Call your local retailer for
details. If you bring the tool to an Authorized Service Center,
the Center will arrange to recycle the tool and its battery.
Or, contact your local municipality for proper disposal
instructions in your city/town.

Important Safety Instructions for All
Integral Battery Charging
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
and cautionary markings for the battery, charger
and product. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
•
The provided charger is not intended for any uses
other than charging BLACK+DECKER rechargeable
tools. Charging other types of tools may cause
their batteries to overheat and burst, resulting in
personal injury, property damage, fire, electric shock
or electrocution.
•
DO NOT expose charger to water, rain or snow.
Pull by the plugs rather than the cord when
•
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the plugs and cord.
Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not
•
be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
When charging the tool outdoors, always provide a
•
dry location.
DO NOT use a charger with a damaged cord or plugs.
•
Have them replaced immediately.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as, but
•
not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from the charger and charging
contacts.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply
•
when there is no tool attached to it.
Charging Procedure (Fig. B)
WARNING: Do not use tool while it is connected to
the charger. The integral battery needs to be charged
before first use and whenever it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs that were easily done before.
The battery may become warm while charging; this is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
WARNING! Do not charge the battery at ambient
temperatures below 40 °F (4 °C) or above 104 °F
(40 °C). Recommended charging temperature:
approx. 104 °F (40 °C).
nOTE: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 40 °F (4 °C) or above
104 °F (40 °C).
1. Insert the charging connector
