Important Safety Instructions for Battery Chargers
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1)
charger, (2) battery pack, and (3) product using battery pack.
A DANGER:
ductive objects. Danger of electric shock or electrocution.
A
DANGER:
charger. Danger of electric shock or electrocution.
The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together. DO
NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones
in this manual.
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging B&D
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.
120 volts present at charging terminals. Do not probe with con
If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electro
cution.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AW6 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 indi
vidual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of the hous
ing. 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.
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 oth
erwise damaged in any way; take it to an authorized service center.
Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when ser
vice or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock, electrocution or fire.
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 temper
ature may reach or exceed 105°F (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in
summer).
The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power
(120 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!

of the battery pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not
recharge.
