Black & Decker CM1640 Lawn Mower User Manual


 
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
The charger supplied with this product is intended
to be plugged in such that it is correctly orientated in a vertical or
floor mount position.
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.
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.

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 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 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.
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, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose
nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the
battery terminals inadvertently 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 suitcases 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.
