The chargerand
battery pack are specifically
designed

designated
BLACK +DECKER
rechargeable
batteries. Any other uses
may result in risk of fire, electric shock
or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting
charger.
This will reduce
risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it
will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is
absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord couldresult in risk of fire,
electric shock, or electrocution.
• An extension cord must have adequate
wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)
for safety. The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be
sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size.
• Do not place any object on top of
charger or place the charger
on
a soft surface that might 5lock
the ventilation
slots and result in
excessive
internal heat. Place the
charger in a position
away from any
heat source.
The charger is ventilated
through slots in the top and the bottom of
the housing.
• Do not mount charger on wail or
permanently
affix charger to any
surface. The charger is _ntended to use
on a flat, stable su-rface (i.e., table top,
bench top).

received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged
in any way.
Take it to an authori2ed service center.
• Do not disassemble
charger;
take it
to an authorized service center when
service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock, electrocution
or fire.
• 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
standardhousehold
electrical power
(120 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on
any other voltage.
