Important Safety Instructions for All

Battery Chargers

WARNING:

and all instructions for the battery pack, charger

and appliance. 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+DECKER rechargeable

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 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:

any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric shock

may result.

WARNING:

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:

of injury, charge only BLACK+DECKER rechargeable

battery packs. Other types of batteries may

overheat and burst resulting in personal injury and

property damage.

NOTICE:

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

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. Unplug the charger before

attempting to clean.
