SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

BATTERIES
f Do not disassemble or open, drop (mechanical
abuse), crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred.
f Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert
foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose
to water or other liquids, or expose to fire, excessive
heat including soldering irons, or put in microwave oven.
f Only use the battery with a charging system specified
by the manufacturer/supplier.
f Do not short-circuit a battery or allow metallic or
conductive objects to contact both battery terminals
simultaneously.
f Dispose of used batteries promptly according to t.0he
manufacturer/supplier's instructions.
f Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion,
or other hazard.
f Battery usage by children should be supervised.
Warning! Never attempt to open the battery for any
reason. If battery case is cracked or damaged, do not
insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery.
Do not use a battery 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 batteries should be returned to service center
for recycling.
CHARGER
1. This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and
cautionary warnings on battery charger and product
using battery.
Caution! To reduce the risk of injury, use charger only
with this product. Batteries in other products may burst
causing personal injury or damage.
3. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
4. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
BLACK+DECKER may result in a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord,
pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
6. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
7. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result
in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
a.
Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire
extension cords. Only round jacketed extension
cords should be used, and we recommend that
they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.).
If the extension is to be used outside, the cord
must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked
for outdoor use can also be used for indoor work.
The letters "W" or "WA" on the cord jacket indicate
that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, and
to prevent loss of power and overheating. 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. When using more
than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each extension contains at least
the minimum wire size.
8. Use only the supplied charger when charging your tool.
The use of any other charger could damage the tool
or create a hazardous condition.
9. Use only one charger when charging.
10. DO NOT attempt to open the charger. There are no
customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any
authorized Black+Decker service center.
11. DO NOT incinerate the battery even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The batteries can
explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created
when lithium ion batteries are burned.
