GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
APPLIANCES

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Read all instructions before operating product.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

• AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Don’t use appliances
in damp or wet locations. Don’t use appliances in the rain.

• STORE IDLE APPLIANCES INDOORS. When not in use,
appliances should be stored indoors in dry, and high or locked­up place – out of reach of children.

• USE RIGHT APPLIANCE. Do not use the appliance for any
job except that for which it is intended.

• DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry appliance by cord or
yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat,
oil, and sharp edges.

• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.

• DISCONNECT APPLIANCES. Disconnect the appliance
from the power supply when not in use, before servicing, and
when changing accessories such as blades and the like.

• GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)

protection should be provided on the circuits or outlets to be
used. Receptacles are available having built in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

• USE OF ACCESSORIES AND ATTACHMENTS. The use
of any accessory or attachment not recommended for use
with this appliance could be hazardous. Note: Refer to the
accessory section of this manual for further details.

• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.

1 2

• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by authorized service
center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.

• DO NOT OPERATE portable electric tools near flammable
liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Certain
components in these tools normally spark, and the sparks
might ignite fumes.

• OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors
and so marked.

90549415 01 WLBFHB.qxp 6/9/09 2:35 PM Page 3

• EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized 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 gauge number, the heavier the cord.

5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull
by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.

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

7. Use only the supplied charger when charging your tool.
The use of any other charger could damage the tool or

customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any
authorized Black & Decker service center.

severely damaged or completely worn out. The batteries
can explode in a fire.

11. 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
