%WARNING:
Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.
• Charge the batterypacks
only in Black & Decker chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
This may
cause premature ceil 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).
ZLWARNING:
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.
ZLWARNING:
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, toof boxes, product kit boxes, drawers,
etc., withloose 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: 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.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger.
CHARGING
PROCEDURE
Black and Decker chargers are designed to charge Black and Decker
battery packs: LCS36 (2 hrs), LCS436 (6 hrs).
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the
battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.
_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.
CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise
with the battery packs or the power source. Problems are indicated
by one LED flashing in different patterns.
BAD BATTERY
_The
charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The red
LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the label. If you see
this bad battery blink pattern, do not continue to charge the
battery. Return it to a service center or a collection site for
recycling.
HOT/COLD
PACK DELAY
_When
the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot
or excessively cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has normalized.
After this happens, the charger automatically
switches to the
Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery
life. The red LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the label
when the hot / cold pack delay is detected.
LEAVING THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER
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.
