SAVe THeSe INSTrUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety instructions for battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings
on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.
wArNINg:
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.
wArNINg
: The charger supplied with this product is
intended to be plugged in such that it is correctly orientated
in a vertical or floor mount position.
• 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.
• 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.
• do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• 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.
• 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.

• do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger
on a soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and
result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position
away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated through
slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.
• do not mount charger on wall or permanently affix charger to
any surface. The charger is intended to use on a flat, stable surface
(i.e., table top, bench top).
• do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have
them replaced immediately.
• do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an
authorized service center.
• 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.
