WARNiNG:

Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if

exposed to spark or flame.

• Charge the battery packs only in Black & Decker chargers.

• DO NOt splash or immerse in water or other liquids. This may

cause premature cell failure.

• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where

the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (40˚C) (such as

outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).

WARNiNG:

Never attempt to open the battery pack for any

reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into

charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a

battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been

dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail,

hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be

returned to service center for recycling.

WARNiNG:

Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so

that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For

example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product

kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.

transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery

terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive

materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US

Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)

actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes

(i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are

properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual

batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well

insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short

circuit. NOTE: LI-ION batteries should not be put in checked

baggage.

iMPORtANt ChARGiNG NOtES

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery

pack is charged when the air temperature is between 60°F and

80°F (16°- 27°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air

temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C).

This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery

pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch

while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a

problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid

placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as

in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
