• 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
: the charger supplied with this product is
intended to be plugged in such that it is correctly orientated
in a vertical or floor mount position.
• Do Not attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers
other than the ones in this manual. 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.
• 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 mount charger on wall or permanently affix charger
to any surface. The charger is intended to use on a flat, stable
surface (i.e., table top, bench top).
• 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.
