Batteries And Chargers - Black & Decker LDX120 Instruction Manual

• Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
working environment or pose an increased health risk to the
operator and those in close proximity.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control and injury.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side
on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping
or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs
will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily
knocked over.

• Charge the battery packs only in
BLACK+DECKER chargers.
• Consult the chart at the end of this manual for
compatible battery packs and chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• DO NOT allow water or any liquid to enter battery pack.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or exceed
104 °F (40 °C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings
in summer). For best life store battery packs in a cool,
dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the
trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger switch in
the ON position.
• 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
lithium‑ion battery packs are burned.
• 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 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.
• Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark
or flame.
• Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged,
do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or
damage the 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 (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with
a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be
returned to the service center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. Store the fully
charged battery pack out of the charger.
Battery Pack Cleaning Instructions
Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the
battery using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use
water or any cleaning solutions.
Transportation

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store, carry, or
transport the battery pack so that metal objects can
contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not
place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product
kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, coins,
hand tools, etc. When transporting individual battery packs,
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 battery packs should not be
put in checked baggage on airplanes and must be properly
protected from short circuits if they are in carry‑on baggage.
