GENERAL SAFETY RULES - FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS

WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.

Damaged cords may create a fire.

A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents cover moving parts and should be avoided.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.with sharp.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

Service

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Specific Safety Rules

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

When working on a ladder or on scaffolding be sure to lay the tool down on its side when not in use. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but may be easily knocked over.

Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach underneath the material for any reason. Do not insert fingers or thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating blade and blade clamp. Do not stabilize the saw by gripping the shoe.

Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the saw to swerve or stall under pressure.

When cutting pipe or conduit ensure that they are free from water, electrical wiring, etc.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

lead from lead-based paints,

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

Protector de la batería

WARNING: 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. without battery cap. 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 carryon 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Before using charger, read and understand all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) charger, (2) battery pack, and (3) product using battery pack.

DANGER: 120 volts present at charging terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects. Danger of electric shock or electrocution.

DANGER: If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Danger of electric shock or electrocution.

DANGER: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.

WARNING: Don’t allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result. CAUTION: To reduce risk of injury, charge only Black & Decker rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury and damage.

To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.

Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Black & Decker may result in risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging Black & Decker rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.

Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:

That the pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape of those of plug on charger.

That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition and the wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified below.

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.

The charger is designed to operate on standard120 VAC, 60Hz household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.

To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any cleaning. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.

NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.

DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK FOR YOUR TOOL.

Your charger is designed to use standard 120 volt AC, 60 Hz power. Do not use DC or any other voltage. Charge time is 3 to 6 hours depending on battery pack type and condition.

CHARGING PROCEDURE

1.Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.

2.Insert 1 or 2 batteries into the charger (Figure 1).

NOTE: Charge time is the same for multiple batteries. Be sure the battery is fully seated in the charger. The red “Charging Indicator” light will come on indicating that there is contact between the battery and charger. The light will stay on as long as the battery is in the charger and the charger is plugged into a working outlet. It WILL NOT flash, go out or change to a different color when the charging cycle is complete.

Remove pack from the charger and place in tool. NOTE: To remove the battery from the tool, press down on the release button on the back of the battery (Figure 2) and pull out.

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.

NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out 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 slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1.Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F(+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2.The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem.

3.If the battery pack does not charge properly — (1) Check power at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately

65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C). (4) If charging problems persist, take or send the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.

4.The battery pack should be recharged when it does not produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE use under these

conditions. Follow the charging procedures. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.

5.Black & Decker battery packs that are labeled “NiMH” should only be used with chargers labeled “NiMH“ or “NiCd/NiMH.”

6.Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside 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.

7.Do not immerse charger in water or any other liquid.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ CONCERNANT LES OUTILS À PILE – GÉNÉRALITÉS

AVERTISSEMENT! LIRE, COMPRENDRE ET SUIVRE TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES précisées ci-dessous, y compris les consignes de sécurité, afin d’éviter les risques de choc électrique, d’incendie ou de blessure grave.

CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES

Zone de travail

Garder la zone de travail propre et bien éclairée; les établis encombrés et les endroits sombres sont propices aux accidents.

Ne pas utiliser les outils électriques dans une atmosphère explosive, comme à proximité de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables; le moteur peut créer des étincelles et enflammer les vapeurs ou les poussières environnantes.

Tenir les enfants, les visiteurs ou toute autre personne éloignés lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique; les distractions peuvent faire perdre la maîtrise de ce dernier.

Mesures de sécurité relatives à l’électricité

Ne pas utiliser le cordon de manière abusive, ni transporter l’outil en le tenant par le cordon. On doit tenir le cordon éloigné des sources de chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants ou des pièces mobiles. Remplacer immédiatement les cordons endommagés, car ces derniers augmentent les risques d’incendie.

Un outil à piles intégrées ou à bloc-pile externe doit être rechargé seulement au moyen du chargeur approprié, car un chargeur destiné à une pile particulière pourrait entraîner un risque d’incendie lorsqu’il est utilisé avec une autre.

N’utiliser l’outil à piles qu’avec le bloc-pile désigné, car l’utilisation d’un autre type de piles peut entraîner un risque d’incendie.

Sécurité personnelle

Rester vigilant en tout temps et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique; ne pas utiliser l’outil lorsqu’on est fatigué ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments, car un moment d’inattention pourrait entraîner des blessures graves.

Porter des vêtements appropriés; ne pas porter de vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Couvrir ou attacher les cheveux longs. Garder les cheveux, les vêtements, les bijoux et les gants éloignés des pièces mobiles, car ceux-ci peuvent s’y coincer. Se tenir éloigné des évents puisque ces derniers pourraient camoufler des pièces mobiles.

Éviter les démarrages accidentels; s’assurer que l’interrupteur est en position de verrouillage ou d’arrêt avant d’insérer un bloc-pile dans l’outil. Ne pas transporter l’outil en laissant le doigt sur l’interrupteur ni y insérer un bloc-pile lorsque l’interrupteur est en position de marche, car cela pourrait causer un accident.

Retirer les clés de réglage avant de démarrer l’outil; une clé laissée sur une pièce rotative pourrait entraîner des blessures.

Ne pas trop étendre les bras; les pieds doivent rester ancrés fermement au sol afin de maintenir son équilibre en tout temps et de mieux maîtriser l’outil dans des situations imprévues.

Utiliser le matériel de sécurité approprié; toujours porter des lunettes de protection.

Porter un masque anti-poussières, des chaussures antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des protecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert.

Utilisation et entretien de l’outil

Fixer et soutenir la pièce sur une plate-forme stable au moyen d’une butée fixe ou de tout autre dispositif semblable; la pièce est instable lorsqu’on la retient manuellement ou qu’on l’appuie contre le corps, ce qui pourrait faire perdre la maîtrise de l’outil.

Ne pas forcer l’outil ni l’utiliser pour des travaux autres que ceux pour lesquels il a été conçu. Pour obtenir de meilleurs résultats et prévenir les risques de blessure, laisser l’outil couper à la vitesse pour laquelle il a été conçu.

Ne pas utiliser l’outil lorsque l’interrupteur marche-arrêt ne fonctionne pas; tout outil qui ne peut être commandé au moyen de l’interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.

Débrancher le bloc-pile de l’outil ou mettre l’interrupteur en position de verrouillage ou d’arrêt avant d’effectuer un réglage, de changer les accessoires ou de ranger l’outil; ces mesures de sécurité préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel.

Lorsqu’on n’utilise pas l’outil, le ranger hors de la portée des enfants ou des personnes non qualifiées; les outils sont dangereux entre les mains de personnes inexpérimentées.

Lorsqu’on n’utilise pas le bloc-pile, le ranger à l’écart des objets métalliques tels que les trombones, les pièces de monnaie, les clés, les clous, les vis ou autres petits objets susceptibles de conduire l’électricité entre les bornes et d’occasionner ainsi un court-circuit
