Storage Recommendations - Black & Decker BDCDD12 Instruction Manual

• 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.
• Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark
or flame.
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.

Storage Recommendations

The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from
direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. Store the fully charged
battery pack out of the charger.
Battery Pack Cleaning Instructions
Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the battery
using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store, carry, or transport the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact exposed
battery terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in
aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with
loose nails, screws, keys, coins, hand tools, etc. When transporting
individual battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could contact
them and cause a short circuit.
NOTE: Li-ion battery packs should not be put in checked baggage
on airplanes and must be properly protected from short circuits if
they are in carry-on baggage.
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.

• the charger in a position away from any heat source.
• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord
or plug–have them replaced immediately.
• 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.
• 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.
• Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as, but
not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from the charger cavities.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply when
•
there is no battery pack in the cavity.
