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

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.
