Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
and cautionary markings for the battery pack,
charger and product. 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 a BLACK+DECKER charger.
BLACK+DECKER chargers and battery packs 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.

Do not place any object on top of the charger or place
the charger on a soft surface that might block the
ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat.
Place the charger in a position away from any heat source.

Not Recommended
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–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.
•
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: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside the charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not 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: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only BLACK+DECKER rechargeable battery
packs. Other types of batteries may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and property damage.
CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the
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.
Charging a Battery
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-
30 - 50
ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before
60 - 100
first use.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
2
)
inserting battery pack.
2. Connect the charger and battery pack, making sure
2,5
the battery is fully seated. The (charging) light will blink
4,0
continuously indicating that the charging process
4,0
has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the light
remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully
charged and may be removed and used at this time or
left in the charger.
