z_WAR N ING:
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 cell 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).
zLWAR NING:
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 refumed to service center for recycling.
zLWARNING:
Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects
can contact exposed battery terminals. For exampte_ do not place battery in aprons,
_ockets, toolboxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose 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 in_lividual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals areprotected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuiLNOTE: Lithium=
Ion batteries should not be put in checked baggage.
Storage Recommendations ,
1. The pest s_orage place is one tha_ is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess
heat or cold.
2. Long storage wilt not harm the battery pack or charger.
Charging Procedure
BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to charge
BLACK+DECKER battery packs in 3.5-4 hours depending on the pack being charged.
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. For longest battery life, do not discharge batteries full_ It
is recommended that the batteries be recharged after each use.
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.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged
when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18 °- 24°C). DO NOT charge the
battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C).
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This
is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling
of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm
environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsutated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off
when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air
temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C).
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your
local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on
jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool,
