6. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.
7. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
8. Use only the supplied charger when charging your tool. The use of any other charger could
damage the tool or create a hazardous condition.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CHARGING THE BATTERY
• Place the appliance on the charging base as shown
in figure A.
• Plug in the charger. The charging indicator will flash
continuously (slowly).
• Leave the appliance to charge. While charging, the
charger may get warm, this is perfectly normal and
safe. The charging indicator will be lit as long as the
appliance is connected to the plugged-in charger. It
can remain on charge indefinitely without damage or
danger. It is not possible to “overcharge” the battery cells with the charger provided.
WARNING: Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures below 39°F (4°C)
or above 104°F (40°C).
The charge is complete when the charging indicator lights continuously. The charger and
the battery can be left connected indefinitely with the LED illuminated. The LED will change
to flashing (charging) state as the charger occasionally tops off the battery charge.
• Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will be greatly diminished if
stored in a discharged state.
BATTERY DIAGNOSTICS
If the appliance detects a weak battery, the charging indicator will flash at a fast rate.
Proceed as follows:
• Place the appliance on the charging base.
• Plug in the charger.
