10. Do not attempt to open the charger. There are no customer serviceable parts inside.
Return to any authorized Black & Decker service center.
11. DO NOT incinerate the tool or batteries even if they are severely damaged or
completely worn out. The batteries can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials
are created when lithium ion battery packs are burned.
12. Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger
may ignite the dust or fumes.
13. If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild
soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for
three minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery
electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
WARNING: Burn hazard.
Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or
flame.
Charging Procedure
CHARGING PROCEDURE - FIGURE B
IMPORTANT:
The batteries in your tool are not fully charged at the factory. Before
attempting to charge them, thoroughly read all of the safety instructions.
(1) The charging socket (5) is keyed to lock out other chargers. Align the tab in the charger
plug (6) with the key in the charging socket.
(2) Plug the charger output plug (6) into the charging socket (5) of the tool as shown in
figure B
.
(3) Plug the charger (7) into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet.
(4) Let the tool charge initially for at least 12 hours. After the initial charge, your tool should
be fully charged in 12 hours from a fully discharged condition.
Recharge discharged
batteries as soon as possible after use or
battery life may be greatly diminished. For
longest battery life, do not discharge
batteries fully.
It is recommended that the
batteries be recharged after each use.
WARNING:
Do not use tool while it is
connected to the charger.
WARNING:
Fire Hazard. When
disconnecting the charger from the tool, be
sure to unplug the charger from the outlet
first, then disconnect the charger cord from
the tool.
Important Charging Notes
1. Your tool was sent from the factory in an
uncharged condition. Before attempting to
use it, it must be charged for at least 12
hours.
2. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to
the batteries, NEVER charge them in an
air temperature below 40°F (4,5°C) or above 105°F (40,5°C). Also, NEVER charge
them if the battery temperature is below 40°F (4,5°C) or above 105°F (40,5°C).
Longest life and best performance occurs when batteries are charged with an air
temperature of approximately 75°F (24°C).
3. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem.
4. If the batteries do not charge properly—(1) Check current at receptacle by plugging in
a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Check that the charger
plug is fully inserted into the charger port on the tool. (4) If the receptacle is OK, and
you do not get proper charging, take or send the tool and charger to your local
Black & Decker service center. See Tools Electric in yellow pages.
5. The tool should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which
were easily done previously. Battery life may be greatly diminished if batteries are
discharged deeply. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its batteries in a depleted
condition. Recharge discharged batteries promptly.
