Warning! Risk of explosive gas mixtures.
Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is
dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases

during normal battery operation. For this reason,

it is of utmost importance that each time, before
using your battery charger, you read this manual
and follow the instructions exactly.

u Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Black

& Decker may result in a risk of re, electric shock, or
injury to persons.

u An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely

necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result
in a risk of re and electric shock, and will void the war­ranty.

Personal safety

u Wear complete eye protection and suitable clothing to give

protection from contact with battery uid.

u Avoid touching the eyes while working with a battery. Acid,

acid particles or corrosion may get into the eyes.

u Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,

necklaces and watches when working with a lead-acid
battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit
current high enough to cause a severe burn.

u Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal

object onto the battery. This might cause sparks or short

circuit the battery or other electrical part, which can cause
an explosion.

Preparation before charging

u The appliance must only be connected to a 12V (6cell)

or 6V (3 cell) lead-acid battery. Before charging, conrm

that the voltage of the battery is 12V or 6V by referring to
the label on the battery or from the information available
relating to its application e.g. car user manual.

u The appliance is capable of maintaining a bettery with a

capacity upto 100 Ah.

ENGLISH

(Original instructions)

Vehicles may have electrical and electronic systems (e.g.
engine management systems, mobile phones) that may be

damaged if subjected to high starting voltages and voltage

peaks. Before connecting the appliance to the vehicle, read

the vehicle's owner's manual to conrm that external charging

is allowed.

u Follow these instructions and those published by the bat-

tery manufacturer and vehicle manufacturer.

u Only connect and disconnect the dc output clamps after

removing the supply cord from the electric outlet. Never
allow clamps to touch each other.

u Check the polarity of the vehicle battery terminals before

connecting the appliance. Always disconnect the negative

(black) cable rst: followed by the positive (red) cable.

When charging a battery installed in the circuit follow the
manufacturers instructions for accessing the battery and the
following:

u Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.
u Be aware that engine components e.g. the coolant fan

may start automatically. Keep hands and body away from
engine components and position the battery charger and
cables to prevent contact.

u Make sure that the battery charger and the cables are

located to prevent damage from closure of doors and
engine compartment covers.

u Make sure that the connections can be made without

touching the metal body or components adjacent to the

battery.

u When using this appliance in proximity to the vehicle's

battery and engine, stand the appliance on a at, stable

surface and be sure to keep all clamps, cords, clothing
and body parts away from moving parts of the vehicle.

u If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to

charge or to clean the terminals, make sure that all acces­sories in the vehicle are switched off, so as not to cause a
spark.

u To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the

appliance from any power source before attempting
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls without
disconnecting the appliance will not reduce this risk.

Connecting the battery charger

When all the preparations for charging and personal safety
have been completed, proceed as follows:

u For most automotive and similar applications the battery

charger may be connected to the battery while it is con­nected to the dc circuit. If this is acceptable follow the
instructions given in "Charging a battery installed in the
circuit".

u If the battery must be disconnected from the circuit before

charging, follow the instructions given in "Charging a bat­tery disconnected from the circuit".

Warning! A marine (boat) battery must be removed and

charged on shore. To charge it on-board requires equipment

specially designed for marine use.

Charging a battery installed in the circuit.

Incorrect connection, battery short circuit, location of battery
and location of the battery charger may create a hazard.

Make sure that adequate preparation has been made before

proceeding.
Warning! If the battery posts cannot be accessed or the bat­tery charger clamps will contact the bodywork or components

adjacent to the battery, the battery must be removed before
charging. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to remove

the battery.
Check the polarity of the battery posts. A positive (POS, P, +)
battery post usually has a larger diameter than the negative
(NEG, N, -) battery post.
Follow the manufacturers' instructions to remove any insulat­ing covers from the battery posts.
Connect the positive (red) clamp from the battery charger to
the positive (POS, P, +) post of the battery.
Connect the negative (black) clamp from the battery charger
to the negative (NEG, N, -) post of the battery.
When disconnecting the battery charger from the battery,
always:

u Switch off and unplug the battery charger.
u Remove the negative (black) clamp rst.
u Remove the positive (red) clamp last.
u Ret any insulating covers to the battery posts.
