foreign material. Foreign materials of a 
conductive nature such as, but not li
mited 
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.
• 
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.

important saFety instruction 
For Battery packs
WARNING: 
For safe operation, 
read this manual and manuals 
originally supplied with tool 
before using the charger.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of 
the carton. Before using the battery pack and 
charger, read the safety instructions below. 
Then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• 
Do not incinerate the battery pack even 
if it is severely damaged or is completely 
worn out. The battery pack can explode 
in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are 
created when battery packs are burned.
• 
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.
• 
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 15 minutes or until irritation 
ceases. If medical attention is needed, the 
battery electrolyte for Lithium-Ion batteries 
is composed of a mixture of liquid organic 
carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may 
cause respiratory irritation. Provide 
fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek 
medical attention.
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.
