SAFETY WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS: BATTERIES
• Do not disassemble or open, drop
(mechanical abuse), crush, bend or
deform, puncture, or shred.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt
to insert foreign objects into the battery,
immerse or expose to water or other
liquids, or expose to fire, excessive
heat including soldering irons, or put in
microwave oven.
• Only use the battery with a charging system
specified by the manufacturer/supplier.
• Do not short-circuit a battery or allow
metallic or conductive objects to contact
bothbattery terminals simultaneously.
• Dispose of used batteries promptly
according to the manufacturer/supplier’s
instructions. • Improper battery use may
result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
• Battery usage by children should be
supervised.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the
battery for any reason. If battery case is
cracked or damaged, do not insert into
charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
battery. Do not use a battery 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 batteries should be
returned to service center for recycling.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS: CHARGING
1. This manual contains important safety
and operating instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all
instructions and cautionary warnings on
battery charger and product using
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.
9. Use only one charger when charging.
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.
12. Do not incinerate the battery even if it is
severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The batteries can explode in a fire.
Toxic fumes and materials are created
when lithium ion batteries are burned.
13. Do not charge or use battery in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence offlammable liquids, gases or
battery.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk
of injury, use charger only with this
product. Batteries in other products may
burst causing personal injury or damage.
3. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
4. Use of an attachment not recommended or
sold by BLACk+DECkER may result in a risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug
and cord, pull by plug rather than cord
when disconnecting charger.
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.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire
or 3-wire extension cords. Only round
jacketed extension cords should be used,
and we recommend that they be listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the
extension is to be used outside, the cord
must be suitable for outdoor use. Any
cord marked for outdoor use can also be
used for indoor work. The letters “W” or
“WA” on the cord jacket indicate that the
cord is suitable for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate
wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)
for safety, and to prevent loss of power
and overheating. 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 extension
contains at least the minimum wire size.
dust. Inserting or removing the drill from
the charger mayignite the dust or fumes.
14. 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.
