ENGLISH
When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given
in the section "Protecting the environment".
Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur.
When you notice liquid on the battery, proceed as follows:
- Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin
contact.
- In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below.
Warning! The battery fluid, a 25-30% solution of potassium
hydroxide, can be harmful. In case of skin contact, immediately
rinse with water. Neutralise with a mild acid such as lemon
juice or vinegar. In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with
clean water for at least 10 minutes. Consult a physician.
Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a
detached battery (e.g. when storing the battery in a
toolbox).
Do not incinerate the battery.
Do not attempt to charge damaged batteries.
Chargers
Use your Black & Decker charger only to charge batteries
of the type supplied with your tool. Other batteries could
burst, causing personal injury and damage.
Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
Have defective cords replaced immediately.
Do not expose to water.
Do not open the charger.
Do not probe the charger.
The charger is intended for indoor use only.
Electrical safety
Your charger is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the mains voltage
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Never attempt to replace the charger unit with a
regular mains plug.

Use
Charging the battery
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever
it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before. A new battery, or a battery that has not been
used for an extended period of time, achieves full performance
only after approx. 5 charging and discharging cycles.
The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal
and does not indicate a problem.
