BATTERY CAP INFORMATION FIGURE A
Battery pack storage and carrying caps (8) are provided for use whenever the battery pack is
out of the tool or charger. Remove cap before placing battery pack in charger or tool.
WARNING: Do not store or carry battery pack so that metal objects can contact exposed
battery pack terminals. For example, do not place battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery
cap. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery pack 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 carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits.
So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery pack terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
Safety Warnings and Instructions: Charging the Battery pack
1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1)
battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3) product using battery pack.
3. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Black & Decker Power Packs.
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Black & Decker may result in a risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed
extension cords should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension is to be used outside, the cord must
be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked for outdoor use can also be used for
indoor work. The letters "W" or "WA" on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable
for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of
the wire, the greater the capacity of 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 extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
