•
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! Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be
flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
WARNING! Fire hazard. Never attempt 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.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
WARNING! Read all safety warnings 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 attempt to 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 BLACK+DECKERrechargeable
batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric
shock or electrocution.
•
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
•
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug and cord.
•
Make sure that the 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Do not place any object on top of the charger or
•
place the charger on a soft surface that might block
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 operate the charger with a damaged cord
or plug.
Do not operate the 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 the 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
•
120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.
WARNING! Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside the charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING! Burn hazard. Do not submerge the
battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to
enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of
the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service
center for recycling.
CAUTION! Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of
injury, charge only BLACK+DECKERrechargeable
battery packs. Other types of batteries may
overheat and burst resulting in personal injury and
property damage.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the charger can
be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials
of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to,
grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum
