nature such as, but not limited to, steel
wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of
metallic particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger
from the power supply when there is no
battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger
before attempting to clean.
WARNING:
•
charge the battery pack with any
chargers other than the ones in this
manual. The charger and battery pack
are specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended
for any uses other than charging
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 could result in
risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
• When operating a charger outdoors,
always provide a dry location and use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• 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 block the ventilation

surface. The charger is intended to use
on a flat, stable surface (i.e., table top,
bench top).
• Do not operate charger with damaged
cord or plug — have them replaced
immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged in any way. Take
it to an authorized 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
standard household electrical power
(120 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on
any other voltage.
