• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug andcord.
• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not
be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage orstress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in
risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide
a dry location and use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electricshock.
• 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

• Do not place any object on top of the 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 thehousing.
• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord
orplug.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized servicecenter.
• Do not disassemble the 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 orfire.
• 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
thisrisk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargerstogether.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard
120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicularcharger.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside the charger. Electric shock mayresult.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery
pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to enter the
battery pack. Never attempt to open the battery pack
for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack
breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only BLACK+DECKERrechargeable battery
packs. Other types of batteries may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and propertydamage.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a
conductive nature, such as, but not limited to, grinding
dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil or any
buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from
the charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from
the power supply when there is no battery pack in the
cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting toclean.
Charging a Battery
BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to charge
BLACK+DECKER battery packs.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium
ion battery packs:
• Charge the battery pack fully before first use.
• Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible
after every use.
• Do not discharge batteries fully.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.
3. The green LED will flash indicating that the battery is
being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by the green LED
remaining on continuously. The pack is fully charged and
may be used at this time or left on the charger.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
green LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from
the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be
removed from the exterior of the charger using a cloth
or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any
cleaning solutions.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 65°F and 75°F (18° – 24°C). DO NOT charge
