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.

4

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

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.

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.

IMPORTANT CHARGING SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

CHARGING PROCEDURE

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 A

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 A and let the battery

pack charge initially for 11 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in

9 to 11 hours.

2a) During charging the green LED will appear.

90563738 NST1024.qxd: chainsaw booklet new 5/25/10 1:13 PM Page 6

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.

NOTE: To remove the battery pack, press down on the release button on the back of the battery pack and slide out.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1.After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in 9 to 11 hours. If the battery pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 11 hours to become fully charged. Your battery pack was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before attempting to use it, it must be charged for at least 11 hours.

2.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. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if battery pack is charged when air temperature is about 75°F (24°C).

3.While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem.

4.If the battery pack does not charge properly—(1) Check current 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 surrounding air temperature of 40°F (+4.5°C) to 105°F (+40.5°C). (4) If the receptacle and temperature are OK, and you do not get proper charging, take or send the battery pack and charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See Tools Electric in yellow pages.

5.The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using unit with its battery pack in a depleted condition.

6.The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times during normal usage. There is no need to run the battery pack down completely before recharging. Normal usage is the best method of discharging and recharging the battery pack.

6

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.

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 liquid is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.

Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persists, 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.

Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (40˚) (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.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but may be easily knocked over.

Battery Cap Information

A battery storage and carrying cap is provided for use whenever the battery is out of the tool or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.

Battery Cap

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.

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.

7

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.

18 AND 24 VOLT BATTERY PACKS

The NST1024 trimmer accepts the following 18 and 24 volt Black and Decker battery packs: 24V battery (Model HPNB24) and 18V batteries (Models HPB18-OPE and 244760-00).

NOTE: This trimmer will also accept B&D 18V slide packs.

LINE FEEDING

Your trimmer uses .065 in. (1.65mm) diameter nylon line to cut grass and weeds quickly and easily. In time, the tip of the nylon line will become worn and the auto feed mechanism will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of line.

The cutting line will wear faster if the cutting is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut. The automatic feed mechanism senses when more cutting line is needed and feeds and trims the correct length of line whenever it is required.

Do not bump unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other purpose.

REPLACING SPOOL

Black & Decker recommends that for optimal performance, use only Black & Decker replacement spools (AF-100) which can be purchased at many local tool retailers. If you need assistance regarding accessories call 1-800-544-6986.

Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery.
