IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERY CHARGERS
Save these instructions: This manual contains important
safety instructions for battery chargers.
f Before using charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and
product using battery pack.
Warnings! Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside charger.
Caution: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge
only designated BLACK+DECKER batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
Caution: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged in to the power supply, the charger can be shorted
by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive
nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil,
or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away
from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
Warnings!:
f 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.
f These chargers are not intended for any uses
other than charging designated BLACK+DECKER
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in
risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
f Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
f Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric
plug and cord.
f Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.
f 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.
f 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. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be sure each
individual extension contains at least the minimum
wire size.
