♦ Charge only at ambient temperatures between
10 °C and 40 °C.
♦ Charge only using the charger provided with the
tool.
♦ When disposing of batteries, follow the instruc-
tions given in the section "Protecting the envi-
ronment".

Chargers
♦ Use your Black & Decker charger only to charge
the battery in the tool with which it was supplied.
Other batteries could burst, causing personal
injury and damage.
♦ Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable bat-
teries.
♦ Have defective cords replaced immediately.
♦ Do not expose the charger to water.
♦ Do not open the charger.

The charger is intended for indoor use
only.
Read the instruction manual before use.
The charger automatically shuts off if the
ambient temperature becomes too high. The
thermal cut out operates only once and then
requires complete replacement.
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in
the technical data and the declaration of conformity
have been measured in accordance with a standard
test method provided by EN 60745 and may be used
for comparing one tool with another. The declared
vibration emission value may also be used in a pre-
liminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used. The vibration level may increase above the
level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine
safety measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect
persons regularly using power tools in employment,
an estimation of vibration exposure should consider,
the actual conditions of use and the way the tool is
used, including taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition
to the trigger time.
