SAFETY WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS
60°
CHARGING
1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3) product
using battery pack.
3. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
Black & Decker Battery Packs. Other types of batteries may burst
causing personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Black &
Decker may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug
rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped
over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
8. 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.

9. Use only the supplied charger when charging your unit. The use
of any other charger could damage the battery pack or create a
hazardous condition.
10. Use only one charger when charging.
11. Do not attempt to open the charger or the unit. There are no
customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any authorized
Black & Decker service center.
12. DO NOT incinerate battery packs even if they are severely
damaged or completely worn out.
13. Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire. A
small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under
extreme usage, charging or temperature
conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer
seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water
for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical
attention. MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATION
1. Store tool:
a.) with the battery pack removed and on the charger.
b.) in a place that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and
excess heat or cold.
c.) out of the reach of children.
2. For prolonged storage such as over the winter, the battery pack
should be fully charged and then removed from the charger. It
should be charged again just prior to use.
