• 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.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard household
electrical power (120 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on any
other voltage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
FOR BATTERY PACKS
WARNING:
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
• 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.
• 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.
• 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
Li-ion batteries is composed of a mixture of liquid organic
carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation.
Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
WARNING:
Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.
• Charge the battery packs only in BLACK+DECKER chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids. This may
cause premature cell failure.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where
the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (40˚C) (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:
LI-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.
