WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquidmaybe
flammableif exposed tosparkor 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: LI-ION batteries should not be put in checked
baggage.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from
direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger.
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.

The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using
the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions below.
Then follow charging procedures outlined.
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.

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 cellsmay cause respiratory irritation.
Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
