Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, and cautionary markings for the battery pack,charger and product.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than a BLACK+DECKER charger.
BLACK+DECKER chargers and battery packs are specifically designed to work together.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging BLACK+DECKER rechargeable battery
packs. Charging other types of battery packs may cause them to overheat and burst, resulting in personal
injury, property damage, fire, electric shock or electrocution.
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
Do not allow water or any liquid to enter charger.
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the
electric plug and cord.
Make sure that the 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.
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 electric shock.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the
gauge number of the wire, the heavier the cord and thus the greater its capacity. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to
use depending on total length of all extension cords plugged together, and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge.
Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets
Volts Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters)
120V 25 (7.6) 50 (15.2) 100 (30.5) 150 (45.7)

Do not place any object on top of the charger. Place the charger in a position away from any heat source.
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug–have them replaced immediately.
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 service center.
Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required.
