SAFETY WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS
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
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
themand cause a short circuit.
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.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
It is OK to leave battery packs on charge for long periods of time. The
charger has a maintenance mode which gives the battery pack
enough charge to stay “topped off”. If however, the tool is not
expected to be needed for more than 30 days, unplug the charger
and store battery pack in a cool, dry location. NOTE: A battery pack
will lose its charge when kept off of the charger. If the battery pack
has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be
recharged before use. A battery pack may also lose its charge if left
in a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.
Charging the Battery Pack
THE BATTERY PACK IS NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY.
CHARGE BATTERY PACK FOR AT LEAST 9 HOURS BEFORE
USE.
The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz
power.
1. Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical
outlet.
2. Slide the charger onto the battery pack as shown in figure B
and let the battery pack charge initially for 9 hours. After the
initial charge, under normal usage, your battery pack should be
fully charged in 6 to 9 hours.
2a) During charging the green LED will appear.
2b) When charging is complete the green LED will go off.
3. Unplug charger, and remove the battery pack. Place the battery
pack into the tool until it “clicks” into place (figure C).
NOTE:
To remove the battery pack, press down on the release
button on the back of the battery pack and slide out (figure D).
