WARNING:
Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Do not freeze
or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
cAutIoN:
Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only designated Black & decker
LI-ION batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
cAutIoN:
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, 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including:
• 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 LI-ION rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, elec-
tric 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 oth-
erwise 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
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 con-
tains 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 char-
ger 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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including:
• 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
Li-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 persists, 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 (40c˚) (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.
the RBRc™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the LI-ION bat-
tery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at
the end of its useful life have already been paid by Black & decker.
RBRC™ in cooperation with Black & decker and other battery users, has established
programs in the United States to facilitate the collection of spent LI-ION batteries. Help protect
our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent LI-ION battery to an
authorized Black & decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also
contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.
RBRC™ is a registered trademark of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.
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, pock-
ets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertent-
ly 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 suit-
cases 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: Batteries should not be put in checked baggage.
Important charging Note
Read manuals originally supplied with charger and tool before charging and using this bat-
tery. The batteries should be recharged when they fail or produce sufficient power on jobs
which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use the tool with its batteries in a
depleted condition.
chARGING PRoceduRe
Black & decker chargers are designed to charge Black & decker battery packs in 30-60
minutes depending on the pack being charged.
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 pack is being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by the green LED remaining on continu-
ously. The battery pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left on the
charge. Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after use or battery
life may be greatly diminished. For longest battery life, do not discharge batteries fully.
It is recommended that the batteries be recharged after each use.
chARGeR dIAGNoStIcS
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise with the battery packs or the
power source. Problems are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.
BAd BAtteRY
The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The red LED flashes in the pat-
tern indicated on the label. If you see this bad battery blink pattern, do not continue
to charge the battery. Return it to a service center or a collection site for recycling.
hot/cold PAcK delAY
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot or excessively cold, it automat-
ically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has normalized.
After this happens, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode. This
feature ensures maximum battery life. The red LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the label.
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.
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 a battery pack that
has been 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.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when
you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C).
