Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur.
x
When you notice liquid on the battery, proceed as follows:
- Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin
contact.
- In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions
below.
Warning! The battery fluid, a 25-30% solution of potassium
hydroxide, can be harmful. In case of skin contact,
immediately rinse with water. Neutralise with a mild acid
such as lemon juice or vinegar. In case of eye contact, rinse
abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes. Consult a
physician.
Do not incinerate the battery.
x
Do not attempt to charge damaged batteries.

Chargers
Use your Black & Decker charger only to charge the battery
x
in the tool with which it was supplied. Other batteries
could burst, causing personal injury and damage.
Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
x
Have defective cords replaced immediately.
x
Do not expose the charger to water.
x
Do not open the charger.
x
Do not probe the charger.
x
The charger is intended for indoor use only.
Electrical safety
Your charger is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the mains
voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate. Never attempt to replace the charger unit with
a regular mains plug.
Additional safety instructions for hand-held saws
Always use the appropriate type of saw blade for the
x
workpiece material and type of cut.
Only use saw blades in perfect condition.
x
Always switch the tool off and wait for the saw blade to
x
come to a complete standstill before putting the tool down.
When not in use, the tool should be put down on its side.
x
Keep your hands well clear of the saw blade while working.
x
Whenever possible, use clamps or a vice to secure the
x
workpiece.
Before use, make sure that the cutting area is free of
x
obstacles, especially on the reverse side of the cut.
Before sawing in walls or floors, be aware of the location
x
of hidden pipes and wiring.
Do not use the tool while in a tree, on a ladder or on any
x
other unstable surface.
Cutting branches
Be aware of where the branch will fall.
x
Pre-plan a safe exit from falling branches.
x
Be sure of your footing. Wear a safety helmet where
x
there is a risk of falling branches.
When cutting a branch that is under tension, be alert for
x
spring back so that you will not be struck when the
tension is released.
Avoid cutting into small sized brush and saplings because
x
slender material may catch the saw blade and be
whipped towards you, or pull you off balance.
