Important Safety Instructions for Battery Chargers

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety and operating instruc-

tions for the BDDC240 and FS2400DC battery chargers.

• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.

DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts are present at charging terminals. Do not probe

with conductive objects. Electric shock or electrocution may result.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may

result.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Black & Decker Slide Pack rechargeable 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 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.

• These chargers are 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.

• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of dam-

age to electric plug and cord.

• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or oth-

erwise subjected to damage or stress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper exten-

sion 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 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.

• 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 120V household electrical power.

Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction

Your charger is designed to use standard 120 volt AC, 60 Hz power. It charges Black and Decker slide pack batteries from 9.6V up to 24V. Do not use DC or any other voltage. Charge time will depend on battery type and capacity. Black & Decker three terminal slide pack batteries are designed for fast charging and most will be charged in one hour or less. Special high capacity batteries may take longer. Two terminal slide pack batteries will be charged at a slower rate to avoid overheating the pack. Most of these will be charged in 2 hours or less.

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.

• A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme usage 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 battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10

minutes and seek immediate medical attention. (Medical Note: The liquid is 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.)

• 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).

DANGER: Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If

battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to service center for recycling.

NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the battery is out of the tool or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.

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. 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 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.

Charging Procedure

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet. NOTE: Do not charge by means of an engine generator or DC power source. Use only 120V AC.

2. Insert 1 or 2 batteries into the charger (Fig.1) . NOTE: Charge time is the same for multiple batteries. Be sure the pack(s) is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light will flash continuously indicating

that the charging process has started.

3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.

Charge Indicators

Red light flashing at a fast rate:

Replace Pack

The charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise with battery packs which would be indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack. If problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a service center for recycling. If the new battery pack gives the same trouble indication as the original, have charger tested at an authorized service center.

Red light flashes long, then short (dash dot, dash dot):

Hot Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short (dash dot, dash dot) while in the Hot Pack Delay mode.

Wall Mounting (Figure 2)

Mounting holes are provided for mounting the charger on a vertical surface.

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. 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.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly: a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when

you turn out the lights.

c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is

approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C).

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local ser-

vice center.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.

5. 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.

6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.

Directives de sécurité importantes pour les chargeurs de piles

CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES : ce mode d’emploi renferme d’importantes directives de

sécurité et d’utilisation pour les chargeurs de pile modèles BDDC240 et FS2400DC.

• Avant d’utiliser le chargeur, lire toutes les directives et les indications d’avertissement figurant sur le chargeur, le bloc-piles et le produit utilisé avec le bloc-piles.

DANGER : risque d’électrocution. Les bornes de charge présentent une tension de 120 V. Ne pas sonder les bornes avec des objets conducteurs. Risque de choc électrique ou d’électrocution.

AVERTISSEMENT : risque de choc électrique. Éviter la pénétration de tout liquide dans le chargeur. Cela peut provoquer des chocs électriques.

MISE EN GARDE : risque de brûlure. Pour réduire le risque de blessures, charger seulement des blocs-piles coulissants rechargeables Black & Decker. D’autres types de piles peuvent exploser et causer des blessures corporelles et des dommages.

MISE EN GARDE : sous certaines conditions, lorsque le chargeur est branché au bloc d’alimentation, les contacts de chargement exposés à l’intérieur du chargeur peuvent être court-circuités par des corps étrangers. Tout corps étranger conducteur, tel que, mais sans s’y limiter, la laine d’acier, le papier d’aluminium, ou toute accumulation de particules métalliques, doit être maintenu à distance des ouvertures du chargeur. Débrancher systématiquement celui-ci si aucun bloc-piles n’y est inséré ou avant de le nettoyer.

• Ces chargeurs ne sont pas prévus pour être utilisés à d’autres fins que celles de

charger les piles rechargeables Black & Decker. Toute autre utilisation risque de provoquer un incendie, un choc électrique ou une électrocution.

• Ne pas exposer le chargeur à la pluie ou à la neige.

• Tirer sur la fiche plutôt que sur le cordon pour débrancher le chargeur. Cela permet

de réduire le risque d’endommager la fiche ou le cordon d’alimentation.

• S’assurer que le cordon est situé en lieu sûr de manière à ce que personne ne

marche ni ne trébuche dessus ou à ce qu’il ne soit pas endommagé ni soumis à une tension.

• Ne pas utiliser de rallonge à moins que cela ne soit absolument nécessaire.

L’utilisation d’une rallonge inadéquate risque d’entraîner un incendie, un choc électrique ou une électrocution.

• La rallonge utilisée doit présenter un calibre adéquat (AWG ou calibrage américain

normalisé des fils) pour assurer la sécurité. Plus le numéro de calibre de fil est petit et plus sa capacité est grande, par exemple un calibre 16 a plus de capacité qu’un calibre

18. Si plus d’une rallonge est utilisée pour obtenir la longueur totale, s’assurer que chaque rallonge présente au moins le calibre de fil minimum.

• Ne pas mettre d’objet sur le chargeur ni mettre ce dernier sur une surface molle

pouvant obstruer les fentes de ventilation et ainsi provoquer une chaleur interne excessive. Mettre le chargeur à un endroit éloigné de toute source de chaleur. La

ventilation du chargeur se fait par les fentes pratiquées dans les parties supérieures et inférieures du boîtier.

• Ne pas faire fonctionner le chargeur si la fiche ou le cordon est endommagé; les

remplacer immédiatement.

• Ne pas faire fonctionner le chargeur s’il a reçu un choc violent, s’il est tombé ou s’il

a été endommagé de quelque manière que ce soit. Apporter le chargeur à un centre de réparation autorisé.

• Ne pas démonter le chargeur; l’apporter à un centre de réparation autorisé

lorsqu’un entretien ou une réparation est requise. Un chargeur mal réassemblé peut causer un choc électrique, une électrocution ou un incendie.

• Débrancher le chargeur avant de le nettoyer. Cela permettra de réduire le risque de

choc électrique. Retirer le bloc-piles ne réduira pas le risque.

• Ne JAMAIS relier 2 chargeurs ensemble.

• Le chargeur est conçu pour être alimenté en courant domestique standard de 120

volts. Ne pas utiliser une tension supérieure pour le chargeur.
