battery chargers.

•

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

WARNING:

Shock hazard.

Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To

reduce the risk of injury, charge only
designated BLACK+DECKER 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 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.

WARNING: DO NOT

attempt to charge the battery pack with
any chargers other than those specified
by the manufacturer. The charger and

battery pack are specifically designed to
work together.

• These chargers are not intended for

any uses other than charging designated

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 damage to electric plug and cord.

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

• Do not use an extension cord
unless it is absolutely necessary.

Use of improper extension cord could
result in risk of fire, electric shock, or
electrocution.

• 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 household electrical power
(120 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on
any other voltage.

EXTENSION CORD

Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord be
sure it is heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The following
table shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

• 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.
