way. Take it to an authorized service center.
f Do not disassemble 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.
f 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.
f NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
f The charger is designed to operate on standard
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use
it on any other voltage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION
FOR BATTERY PACKS
Warnings! For safe operation, read this manual and
manuals originally supplied with tool before using the charger.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton.
Before using the battery pack and charger, read the safety
instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
f Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is
severely damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when battery packs are burned.
f Do not charge or use battery in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the
battery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
f If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water.
If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over
the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases.
If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte
for Lithium-Ion batteries is composed of a mixture of
liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
f Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention.
Warnings! Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be
flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
f Charge the battery packs only in BLACK+DECKER
chargers.
f Do not splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
This may cause premature cell failure.
f Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 105°f (40 ºC) (such as outside sheds or
metal buildings in summer).
Warning! Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged,
do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
battery pack. Do not use a battery pack 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 battery packs should be
returned to service center for recycling.
Warning! Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery
so that metal objects can contact exposed battery
terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with
loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries
can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like.
The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material
Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries
in commerce or on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and
carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected
from short circuits. So when transporting individual
batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could
contact them and cause a short circuit.
Note: Lithium-Ion batteries should not be put in
checked baggage.

Storage recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry
away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger.
BATTERY PACK CHARGING, INSTALLING,

3. The green LED will flash indicating that the
battery is being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by
the green LED remaining on continuously.
The pack is fully charged and may be used
at this time or left on the charger.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible
after use or battery life may be greatly diminished.
For longest battery life, do not discharge batteries
fully. It is recommended that the batteries be recharged
after each use.
