Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs

WARNING:
and all instructions for the battery pack, charger
and power tool. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
• Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery
pack from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. DO
NOT modify the battery pack in any way to fit into
a non-compatible charger as battery pack may
rupture causing serious personal injury. Consult
the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of
batteries and chargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in designated
BLACK+DECKER chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack 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 battery packs in
a cool, dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with
the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger
switch in the ON position.
• 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 lithium ion battery packs
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.

WARNING:
may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

WARNING:
to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery
pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into
the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the 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 (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit
with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs
should be returned to the service center for recycling.

Fire hazard. Never attempt
Transportation

WARNING:
or carry the battery pack so that metal objects
can contact exposed battery terminals. For
example, do not place the battery pack 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 in carry-on baggage
UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits.
So when transporting individual battery packs, make
sure that the battery terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them and
cause a short circuit.
The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-
ion batteries (or battery packs) indicates
that the costs to recycle these batteries
(or battery packs) at the end of their useful life have already
been paid by BLACK+DECKER. In some areas, it is illegal
to place spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste
stream and the Call 2 Recycle® program provides an
environmentally conscious alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with BLACK+DECKER
and other battery users, has established the program in
the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection
of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithium-ion batteries. Help protect our environment and
conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries to
an authorized BLACK+DECKER service center or to your
local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local
recycling center for information on where to drop off the
spent battery. RBRC® is a registered trademark of Call 2
