General Power Tool Safety Warnings
z_WARNING! Readall safety warnings and instructions, Failuretofollow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCl) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Anypower
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to controL
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Specific Safety Rules
• Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
•Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
"live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
•When working on a ladder or on scaffolding be sure to lay the tool down on its side
when not in use. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but may be easily
knocked over.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from air vents. Air vents often cover
moving parts in which these items can be caught.
• Hold tool firmly with two hands. Use auxiliary handle if provided. If auxiliary handle
not provided, grip tool at bottom of battery. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
AWARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed
areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the
skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
_WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may
cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eye glasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•ANSI Z87. 1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection

battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery
pack, and product using battery pack.
_WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.
z_CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only designated Black &
Deckerbatteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and
damage.
z_CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)
for safety. 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 individual extension contains at least
the minimum wire size.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR BATTERY PACKS
z_WARN ING: For safe operation, read this manual and manuals originally supplied
with tool before using the charger.
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.
•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
LHon 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.
z_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 ceil
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.
AWARNING: 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: LHON 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.
CHARGING PROCEDURE

Black & Decker battery packs in 5-8 hours 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 as shown in
figure A.
I_ 3. The green LED will flash indicating that the
battery is being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by the
_green LED remaining on continuously. The pack
is fully charged and may be used at this time or
left on the charger.
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
pattern 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
automatically 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 the battery
pack 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.

ONBOARD BIT STORAGE
A bit storage slot (8)is built-in to the area just above the battery
pack.
DRILLING
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the hole is started enough to keep the
drill bit from slipping out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep the bit biting
but not so much as to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
•Hold the drill firmly with two hands to control its twisting action.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT
TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure and slowly drilling through the
last part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help reduce
jamming.
•Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used for metal or with spade bits.
These bits should be sharp and should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips
from the flutes.
DRILLING IN METAL
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which
should be drilled dry. The cutting lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil or lard
oil.
DRILLING IN MASONRY
Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer to Drilling section. Keep even force on the drill but
not so much that you crack the brittle material. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the
proper drilling rate.
MAINTENANCE
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the

Avertissements de sCcurit6 gCn_raux pour les outils
61ectriques
_AVERTISSEMENT! Lire tous les avertissements de securite et toutes les
directives. Le non-respect des avertissements et des directives pourrait se
solder par un choc electrique, un incendie et/ou une blessure grave.
Conserver tous les avertissements et toutes les directives pour un usage
ulterieur.
Le terme ,,outil 61ectrique_, cite dans les avertissements se rapporte & votre outil
electrique & alimentation sur secteur (avec ill) ou par piles (sans ill).
1) Securite du lieu de travail
a) Tenir la zone de travail propre et bien eclairCe. Les endroits sombres sont souvent
des causes d'accidents.
b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d'outils electriques dans un milieu deflagrant, soit en
presence de liquides inflammables, de gaz ou de poussiere. Les outils
#lectriques produisent des etincelles qui peuvent enflammer la poussiere ou les vapeurs.
c) Eloigner les enfants et les curieux au moment d'utiliser un outil electrique. Une
distraction pourra# vous en faire perdre la maflrise.
2) Securite en matiere d'electricite
a) Les fiches des outils electriques doivent correspondre ala prise. Ne jamais
modifier la fiche en aucune fa_on. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d'adaptation avec un
outil #lectrique mis a la terre. Le risque de choc electrique sera reduit par I'utilisation
de fiches non modifiees correspondant a la prise.
b) leviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises a la terre comme des
tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinieres et des refrigerateurs. Le risque de choc
electrique est plus eleve si votre corps est mis a la terre.
c) Ne pas exposer les outils electriques a la pluie ou a d'autres conditions o_ il
pourrait _tre mouill& La p#n#tration de I'eau dans un outil #lectrique augmente le
risque de choc electrique.
d) Ne pas utiliser abusivement le cordon d'alimentation. Ne jamais utiliser le
cordon pour transporter, tirer ou debrancher un outil electrique. Tenir le cordon
61oigne de la chaleur, de I'huile, des bords tranchants ou des pieces mobiles.
Les cordons endommages ou emm#les augmentent les risques de choc electrique.
e) Pour I'utilisation d'un outU electrique a I'exterieur, se servir d'une rallonge
convenant a une telle utilisation. L'utilisation d'une rallonge congue pour I'exterieur
reduit les risques de choc electrique.
f) S'il est impossible d'eviter I'utilisation d'un outil electrique dans un endroit
humide, brancher I'outil dans une prise ou sur un circuit d'alimentation dotes
d'un disjoncteur de fuite a la terre (GFCl}. L'utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur
r#duit les risques de choc electrique.
3) Securit6 personnelle
a) I_tre vigilant, surveiller le travail effectue et faire preuve de jugement Iorsqu'un
outil electrique est utilis& Ne pas utiliser d'outil electrique en cas de fatigue ou
sous I'influence de drogues, d'alcool ou de medicaments. Un simple moment
d'inattention en utilisant un outil electrique peut entra_ner des blessures corporelles
graves.
b) Utiliser des equipements de protection individuelle. Toujours porter une
protection oculaire. L'utilisation d'equipements de protection comme un masque
antipoussiere, des chaussures antiderapantes, un casque de s#curite ou des
protecteurs auditifs Iorsque la situation le requiert reduira les risques de blessures
corporelles.
c) Emp_cher les demarrages intempestifs. S'assurer que I'interrupteur se trouve
la position d'arrCt avant de relier I'outil aune source d'alimentation et/ou
d'inserer un bloc-piles, de ramasser ou de transporter I'outil. Transporter un outfl
electrique alors que le doigt repose sur I'interrupteur ou brancher un outil electrique
dont I'interrupteur est a la position de marche risque de provoquer un accident.
d) Retirer toute cle de reglage ou cle standard avant de demarrer I'outil. Une cl#
standard ou une cl# de r#glage attach#e a une partie pivotante peut causer des
blessures.
e) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver son equilibre en tout temps. Cela
permet de mieux maflriser I'outil electrique dans les situations imprevues.
f) S'habiller de maniere appropriee. Ne pas porter de v_tements amples ni de
bijoux. Garder les cheveux, les v_tements et les gants a I'ecart des pieces
mobiles. Les v#tements ample& les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de rester
coinces dans les pieces mobiles.
g) Si des composants sont fournis pour le raccordement de dispositifs de
depoussierage et de ramassage, s'assurer que ceux-ci sont bien raccordes et
utilises. L'utilisation d'un dispositif de depoussierage peut reduire les dangers
engendres par les poussieres.
4) Utilisation et entretien d'un outil electrique
a) Ne pas forcer un outil electrique. Utiliser I'outil electrique approprie
I'application. L'outil electrique approprie effectuera un meilleur travail, de fa;on
plus sDre eta la vitesse pour laquelle il aet# con_u.
b) Ne pas utiliser un outil electrique dont I'interrupteur est defectueux. Tout outil
electrique dont I'interrupteur est defectueux est dangereux et doff _tre repare.
c) Debrancher la fiche du secteur ou le bloc-piles de I'outil electrique avant de
faire tout reglage ou changement d'accessoire, ou avant de ranger I'outil
electrique. Ces mesures preventives r#duisent les risques de d#marrage accidentel
de Ibutil #lectrique.
d) Ranger les outils electriques hors de la portee des enfants, et ne permettre
aucune personne n'etant pas familiere avec un outil electrique (ou son manuel
d'instruction) d'utiliser ce dernier. Les outils #lectriques deviennent dangereux
entre les mains d'utilisateurs inexperimentes.
e) Entretenir les outils electriques. Verifier les pieces mobiles pour s'assurer
qu'elles sont bien alignees et tournent librement, qu'elles sont en bon etat et
ne sont affectees par aucun trouble susceptible de nuire au bon
fonctionnement de I'outil electrique. En cas de dommage, faire reparer I'outil
electrique avant toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup d'accidents sont caus#s par
des outils electriques mal entretenus.
f) S'assurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguises et propres. Les outils de coupe
bien entretenus et affE_tes sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles
contrSler.
g) Utiliser I'outil electrique, les accessoires, les forets, etc. conformement aux
presentes directives en tenant compte des conditions de travail et du travail
effectuer. L'utilisation d'un outil electrique pour toute operation autre que celle pour
laquelle il a ete con_u est dangereuse.
5} Utilisation et entretien du bloc-piles
a} Ne recharger I'outil qu'au moyen du chargeur precis6 par le fabricant.
L'utilisation d'un chargeur qui convient a un type de bloc-piles risque de provoquer un
incendie s'il est utilise avec un autre type de bloc-piles.
b} Utiliser les outils electriques uniquement avec les blocs-piles con_us acet
effet. L'utilisation de tout autre bloc-piles risque de causer des blessures ou un
incendie.
c) Lorsque le bloc-piles n'est pas utilise, le tenir eloign6 des objets metalliques,
notamment des trombones, de la monnaie, des cles, des clous, des vis, etc.,
qui peuvent etablir une connexion entre les deux bornes. Le court-circuit des
bornes du bloc-piles risque de provoquer des etincelles, des brEflures ou un incendie.
d) En cas d'utilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler hors du bloc-piles, eviter tout
contact. Si un contact accidentel se produit, laver a grande eau. Si le liquide
entre en contact avec les yeux, obtenir des soins medicaux. Le liquide qui gicle
hors du bloc-piles peut provoquer des irritations ou des brEflures.
6) Reparation
a) Faire reparer I'outil electrique par un reparateur professionnel en n'utilisant
que des pieces de rechange identiques. Cela permettra de maintenir une
utilisation securitaire de Ibutil electrique.

RI_GLES DE SI_CURITI_ SPI_CIFIQUES
•Porter des protecteurs auditifs si une perceuse apercussion est utilisee. Une
exposition au bruit peut entrafner une perte auditive.
• Utiliser les poignees auxiliaires fournies avec I'outil. Une perte de maftrise de I'outil
peut entrafner des blessures corporelles.
•Saisir I'outil electrique par ses surfaces de prises isolees Iorsque I'outil peut entrer
en contact avec des ills caches ou son cordon. En cas de contact avec un fil sous
tension, les pieces m6talliques de routil seront sous tension et rutilisateur subira des
secousses 61ectriques.
•Lorsqu'on est installe sur une echelle ou un echafaudage pour travailler, on doit
deposer I'outil sur le c_te Iorsqu'on ne s'en sert plus. Bien que certains outils munis
d'un gros bloc-piles puissent 6tre plac6s a la verticale, dans cette position, ils peuvent
facilement 6tre renvers6s.
• Utiliser des brides de fixation ou un autre dispositif de fixation permettant de fixer
solidement et de soutenir la piece sur une plateforme stable. Tenir la piece avec la
main ou contre son corps la rend instable et risque de provoquer une perte de maftrise de
I'outil.
•Tenir les cheveux, les v_tements et les gants loin des events. En effet, les 6vents
cachent souvent des pieces mobiles qui risquent de happer ces articles.
• Tenir fermement I'outil a deux mains. Utiliser la poign6e auxiliaire si I'outil en est
muni. Sinon, saisir I'outil par le bas du bloc-piles. Une perte de maftrise de I'outil peut
entrafner des blessures.
z-_AVERTISSEMENT : certains outils electriques, tels que les sableuses, les scies,
les meules, les perceuses ou certains autres outils de construction, peuven.t
produire de la poussiere contenant des produits chimiques reconnus par I'Etat
de la Californie comme etant susceptibles d'entrainer le cancer, des
malformations congenitales ou pouvant _tre nocifs pour le systeme reproductif.
Parmi ces produits chimiques, on retrouve :
•le plomb dans les peintures a base de plomb,
• la silice cristalline dans les briques et le ciment et autres produits de magonnerie,
•rarsenic et le chrome dans le bois de sciage ayant subi un traitement chimique.
Le risque associ6 a de telles expositions varie selon la fr6quence avec laquelle on
effectue ces travaux. Pour r6duire rexposition a de tels produits, il faut travailler dans un
endroit bien a6r6 et utiliser le mat6riel de s6curit6 appropri6, tel un masque anti-
poussieres sp6cialement con(_u pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.
• I_viter tout contact prolonge avec la poussiere soulevee par cet outil ou autres
outils electriques. Porter des v_tements de protection et nettoyer les parties
exposees du corps avec de I'eau savonneuse. S'assurer de bien se prot6ger afin
d'6viter d'absorber par la bouche, les yeux ou la peau des produits chimiques nocifs.
z._AVERTISSEMENT : Cet outil peut produire et repandre de la poussiere
susceptible de causer des dommages serieux et permanents au systeme
respiratoire. Toujours utiliser un appareil respiratoire anti-poussieres approuv6 par le
NIOSH ou I'OSHA. Diriger les particules dans le sens oppos6 du visage et du corps.
z._AVERTISSEMENT : TOUJOURS porter des lunettes de securite. Les lunettes de
vue ne constituent PAS des lunettes de securite. Utiliser egalement un masque
facial ou anti-poussiere si I'operation de decoupe genere de la poussiere.
TOUJOURS PORTER UN EQUlPEMENT DE PROTECTION HOMOLOGUE :
•protection oculaire conforme a la norme ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3);
•protection auditive ANSI S 12.6 ($3.19);
•protection des voies respiratoires conformes aux normes NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA.

DIRECTIVES DE SI_CURITI_ IMPORTANTES POUR LES
CHARGEURS DE PILES
CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES : ce mode d'emploi comprend d'importantes directives
de s6curit6 pour les chargeurs de piles.
•Avant d'utiliser le chargeur, fire toutes les directives et tousles avertissements figurant sur
le chargeur, le bloc-piles et le produit utilis6 avec le bloc-piles.
z_ AVERTISSEMENT : risque de choc electrique. Eviter la p6n6tration de tout liquide
dans le chargeur.
z_ MISE EN GARDE : risque de bn31ure. Pour r6duire le risque de blessures, charger
uniquement des piles Black & Decker conseill6es. D'autres types de piles peuvent
exploser et provoquer des blessures corporelles et des dommages.
MISE EN GARDE : dans certaines circonstances, Iorsque le chargeur est branch6 au
bloc d'alimentation, le chargeur peut 6tre court-circuit6 par des corps 6trangers
conducteurs tels que, mais sans s'y limiter, la laine d'acier, le papier d'aluminium ou
toute accumulation de particules m6talliques. IIs doivent 6tre maintenus & distance des
ouvertures du chargeur. D6brancher systematiquement celui-ci si aucun bloc-piles n'y
est ins6r6. D6brancher le chargeur avant tout nettoyage.
• NE PAS tenter de charger le bloc-piles avec autre chose qu'un chargeur de marque.
Les chargeurs et blocs-piles sont con_us specialement pour fonctionner ensemble.
•Ces chargeurs ne sont pas destines b_tre utilises bd'autres fins que celles de
charger les piles rechargeables conseillees Black & Decker. Toute autre utilisation
risque de provoquer un incendie, un choc electrique ou une electrocution.
• Proteger le chargeur de la pluie et de la neige.
• Tirer la fiche plut6t que le cordon pour debrancher le chargeur ou pour debrancher
les cordons a I'aide de la fonction de guirlande. Cela permet de reduire le risque
d'endommager la fiche ou le cordon d'alimentation.
• S'assurer que le cordon est situe en lieu s_r de maniere a ce que personne ne
marche ni ne trebuche dessus ou ace qu'il ne soit pas endommage ni soumis aune
tension.
•Ne pas utiliser de rallonge amoins que cela ne soit absolument necessaire.
L'utilisation d'une rallonge inadequate risque d'entrafner un incendie, un choc electrique
ou une electrocution.
• Pour la securite de I'utilisateur, utiliser une rallonge de calibre adequat (AWG,
American Wire Gauge [calibrage americain normalise des fils]}. Plus le num#ro de
calibre de fil est petit et plus sa capacite est grande, par exemple un calibre 16 a plus de
capacite qu'un calibre 18. Si plus d'une rallonge est utilis#e pour obtenir la Iongueur totale,
s'assurer que chaque rallonge pr#sente au moins le calibre de fil minimum.
Calibre de fil minimum recommande pour les rallonges

• Ne pas mettre d'objet sur le chargeur ni mettre ce dernier sur une surface souple,
ce qui pourrait causer I'obstruction des fentes de ventilation et, du fait, provoquer
une chaleur interne excessive. Eloigner le chargeur de toute source de chaleur. La
ventilation du chargeur se fait par les fentes pratiquees dans les parties superieures et
inferieures du boflier.
• Ne pas installer le chargeur sur un tour ni le fixer de maniere permanente sur
toute surface. Le chargeur est destine a une utilisation sur une surface plane et stable
(c.-a-d. un dessus de table ou d'etabli).
• Ne pas faire fonctionner le chargeur si la fiche ou le cordon est endommage; les
remplacer immediatement.
• Ne jamais se servir d'un chargeur qui a subi un choc violent, qui est tombe par
terre ou qui est endommage de quelque maniere que ce soit. Le faire verifier clans
un centre de reparation autoris&
• Ne pas demonter le chargeur; confier I'entretien ou la reparation de I'appareil a un
centre de reparation autoris& Le remontage non conforme du chargeur comporte des
risques de choc electrique, d'electrocution ou d'incendie.
•Debrancher le chargeur avant de le nettoyer. Cela reduira le risque de choc electrique.
Le risque ne sera pas elimine en enlevant simplement le bloc-piles.
• NE JAMAIS relier deux chargeurs ensemble.
• Le chargeur est congu pour 6tre alimente en courant domestique standard
(120 V). Ne pas utiliser une tension superieure pour le chargeur.
CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES
DIRECTIVES DE SleCURITle IMPORTANTES POUR LES BLOCS-PILES
Z_AVERTISSEMENT : pour un fonctionnement sE_r,lire le present mode d'emploi et les
manuels foumis avec Ibutil avant d'utiliser le chargeur.
Le bloc-piles n'est pas completement charg6 & la sortie de I'emballage. Avant d'utiliser le
bloc-piles et le chargeur, lire les directives de s6curit6 ci-apres. Respecter ensuite les
consignes de chargement d6crites.
LIRE TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES.
• Ne pas incinerer le bloc-piles, m6me s'il est tres endommage ou completement
use, car il peut exploser au contact de flammes. Des vapeurs et des matieres toxiques
sont degagees Iorsque les blocs-piles sont incineres.
• Ne pas charger ou utiliser un bloc-piles dans un milieu deflagrant, en presence de
liquides, de gaz ou de poussiere inflammables. Inserer ou retirer un bloc-piles du
chargeur peut enflammer de la poussiere ou des emanations.
• Si le contenu de la pile entre en contact avec la peau, laver immediatement la zone
touchee au savon doux eta I'eau. Si le liquide de la pile entre en contact avec les yeux,
rincer roeil ouvert a I'eau pendant 15 minutes ou jusqu'a ce que I'irritation cesse. Si des
soins m_dicaux sont n6cessaires, I'_lectrolyte des piles au LI-ION est compos6 d'un
m_lange de carbonates organiques liquides et de sels de lithium.
• Le contenu des cellules de pile ouvertes peut provoquer une irritation respiratoire.
Exposer la personne a de I'air frais. Si les sympt6mes persistent, obtenir des soins medicaux.
Z_AVERTISSEMENT : risque de bn31ure. Le liquide du bloc-piles peut s'enflammer s'il
est expose a des etincelles ou a une flamme.
•Charger les blocs-piles uniquement au moyen de chargeurs Black & Decker.
• NE PAS eclabousser le bloc-piles ou I'immerger darts I'eau ou tout autre liquide.
Cela peut entrafner une defaillance prematuree de I'element.
• Ne pas ranger ni utiliser I'outil et le bloc-piles dans un endroit o_ la temperature
peut atteindre ou depasser les 40 °C (105 °F) (comme darts les remises exterieures
ou les b&timents metalliques en ete).
Z_AVERTISSEMENT : ne jamais ouvrir le bloc-piles pour quelque raison que ce soit. Si le
boflier du bloc-piles est fissure ou endommage, ne pas I'inserer dans un chargeur. Ne
pas ecraser, faire tomber ou endommager le bloc-piles. Ne pas utiliser un bloc-piles ou
un chargeur qui a regu un choc violent, qui est tombe, a ete ecrase ou est endommage
de quelque maniere que ce soit (p. ex. perce par un clou, frappe d'un coup de marteau,
pietine). Les blocs-piles endommages doivent _tre envoyes au centre de reparation
pour #tre recycles.
Z_AVERTISSEMENT : risque d'incendie. Ne pas ranger ou transporter les piles de
maniere ace que des objets metalliques puissent entrer en contact avec les
bornes exposees des piles. Par exemple, ne pas mettre un bloc-piles dans un tablier,
une poche, une bofte a outils, une bofte de n_cessaire de produit ou un tiroir contenant
des objets tels que des clous, des vis ou des cl6s, car tout contact accidentel entre les
bornes a d_couvert et un objet m_tallique conducteur comme une cle, une piece de
monnaie, un outil a main, etc. risque de provoquer un incendie. La Hazardous Material
Regulations (r6glementation sur les produits dangereux) du d_partement am6ricain des
transports interdit en fait le transport des blocs-piles pour, le commerce et dans les
avions (c.-a-d. dans des valises et les bagages a main) A MOINS qu'ils ne soient bien
prot6g_s contre les courts-circuits. Pour le transport de piles individuelles, on doit donc
s'assurer que les bornes sont prot6g_es et bien isol_es contre toute matiere pouvant
entrer en contact avec elles et provoquer un court-circuit. REMARQUE :il ne faut pas
laisser de piles au U-ION dans les bagages enregistres.
