which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 60°F - 80°F
(16° - 27°C).
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and
charger to your local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT
CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging
procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever
you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. 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.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
inside charger. N v r att mpt to op n th batt ry pack for any

the spool, install a new spool of cutting line.
• Ensure that the line is not crisscrossed on the spool as detailed
in figure U. If it is, unwind the cutting line, then wind it back on
the spool neatly so that the lines do not cross.
• Push the spool onto the housing until it snaps securely into place.
• Align the tabs on the spool cap with the cut outs in the housing.
• If the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off
so that it just reaches the blade. If the automatic line feed still
does not work or the spool is jammed, try the following
suggestions:
• Carefully clean the spool and housing.
• Remove the spool and check if the lever in the spool housing
can move freely.
• Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line, then wind it on
neatly again. Replace the spool into the housing.

CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES : ce mode dʼemploi comprend
dʼimportantes directives de sécurité pour les chargeurs de piles.
• Avant dʼutiliser le chargeur, lire toutes les directives et tous les
avertissements figurant sur le chargeur, le bloc-piles et le produit
utilisé avec le bloc-piles.
AVERTISSEMENT : risque de choc électrique. Éviter la
pénétration de tout liquide dans le chargeur.
MISE EN GARDE : risque de brûlure. Pour réduire le risque
de blessures, charger uniquement des piles Black & Decker
conseillées. Dʼautres types de piles peuvent exploser et provoquer
des blessures corporelles et des dommages.
MISE EN GARDE : dans certaines circonstances, lorsque le
chargeur est branché au bloc dʼalimentation, le chargeur peut être
court-circuité par des corps étrangers conducteurs tels que, mais
sans sʼy limiter, la laine dʼacier, le papier dʼaluminium ou toute
accumulation de particules métalliques. Ils doivent être maintenus à
distance des ouvertures du chargeur. Débrancher systématiquement
celui-ci si aucun bloc-piles nʼy est inséré. Débrancher le chargeur
avant tout nettoyage.
•NE PAS tenter de charger le bloc-piles avec autre chose qu’un
chargeur de marque. Les c argeurs et blocs-piles sont conçus
spécialement pour fonctionner ensemble.
•Ces chargeurs ne sont pas destinés à être utilisés à dʼautres
fins que celles de charger les piles rechargeables conseillées
Black & Decker. Toute autre utilisation risque de provoquer un
incendie, un c oc électrique ou une électrocution.
•Protéger le chargeur de la pluie et de la neige.
•Tirer la fiche plutôt que le cordon pour débrancher le chargeur
ou pour débrancher les cordons à l’aide de la fonction de
guirlande. Cela permet de réduire le risque dʼendommager la fic e
ou le cordon dʼalimentation.

•S’assurer que le cordon est situé en lieu sûr de manière à ce
que personne ne marche ni ne trébuche dessus ou à ce qu’il ne
soit pas endommagé ni soumis à une tension.
•Ne pas utiliser de rallonge à moins que cela ne soit absolument
nécessaire. Lʼutilisation dʼune rallonge inadéquate risque dʼentraîner
un incendie, un c oc électrique ou une électrocution.
•Pour la sécurité de l’utilisateur, utiliser une rallonge de calibre
adéquat (AWG, American Wire Gauge [calibrage américain
normalisé des fils]). Plus le numéro de calibre de fil est petit et plus
sa capacité est grande, par exemple un calibre 16 a plus de capacité
quʼun calibre 18. Si plus dʼune rallonge est utilisée pour obtenir la
longueur totale, sʼassurer que c aque rallonge présente au moins le
calibre de fil minimum.
Calibre de fil minimum recommandé pour les rallonges
•Ne
pas installer le chargeur sur un mur ni le fixer de manière
permanente sur toute surface. Le c argeur est destiné à une
utilisation sur une surface plane et stable (c.-à-d. un dessus de
table ou dʼétabli).
•Ne pas faire fonctionner le chargeur si la fiche ou le cordon est
5
endommagé; les remplacer immédiatement.
•Ne jamais se servir d’un chargeur qui a subi un choc violent,
qui est tombé par terre ou qui est endommagé de quelque
manière que ce soit. Le faire vérifier dans un centre de
réparation autorisé.
•Ne pas démonter le chargeur; confier lʼentretien ou la réparation
de lʼappareil à un centre de réparation autorisé. Le remontage non
conforme du c argeur comporte des risques de c oc électrique,
dʼélectrocution ou dʼincendie.
•Débrancher le chargeur avant de le nettoyer. Cela réduira le
risque de c oc électrique. Le risque ne sera pas éliminé en enlevant
simplement le bloc-piles.
•NE JA AIS relier deux chargeurs ensemble.
•Le chargeur est conçu pour être alimenté en courant
domestique standard
(120 V). Ne pas utiliser une tension supérieure pour le chargeur.
CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES
AVERTISSEMENT : Pour un fonctionnement sûr, lire le
présent manuel et les manuels fournis avec lʼoutil avant dʼutiliser le
c argeur.
Le bloc-piles nʼest pas complètement chargé à la sortie de
lʼemballage. Avant dʼutiliser le bloc-piles et le chargeur, lire les
directives de sécurité ci-après. Respecter ensuite les consignes de
chargement décrites.
LIRE TOUTE LE DIRECTIVE .
•Ne pas incinérer le bloc-piles, même sʼil est très endommagé
ou complètement usé, car il pourrait exploser au contact des
flammes. Des vapeurs et des matières toxiques sont dégagées

lorsque les blocs-piles sont incinérés.
•Ne pas charger ou utiliser de pile dans un milieu déflagrant, en
présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussière inflammables.
Insérer ou retirer la pile du c argeur peut enflammer de la poussière
ou des émanations.
•Si le contenu de la pile entre en contact avec la peau, laver
immédiatement la zone touchée au savon doux et à lʼeau. Si le
liquide de la pile entre en contact avec les yeux, rincer lʼœil ouvert à
lʼeau pendant 15 minutes ou jusquʼà ce que lʼirritation cesse. Si des
soins médicaux sont nécessaires, lʼélectrolyte des piles au lit ium-
ion est composé dʼun mélange de carbonates organiques liquides et
de sels de lit ium.
•e contenu des éléments de pile ouverts peut provoquer une
irritation respiratoire. Exposer la personne à de lʼair frais. Si les
symptômes persistent, obtenir des soins médicaux.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de brûlure. Le liquide de la pile
peut sʼenflammer sʼil est exposé à des étincelles ou à une flamme.
• Charger uniquement les blocs-piles au moyen de chargeurs Black
& Decker.
•NE PAS éclabousser le bloc-piles ni lʼimmerger dans lʼeau ou
dans tout autre liquide.Cela peut entraîner une défaillance
prématurée de lʼélément.
• Ne pas ranger ni utiliser lʼoutil et le bloc-piles dans un endroit
où la température peut atteindre ou dépasser les 40 °C (105 °F)
(comme dans les remises extérieures ou les bâtiments
métalliques en été).
AVERTISSEMENT : Ne jamais tenter dʼouvrir le bloc-piles
pour quelque raison que ce soit. Si le boîtier du bloc-piles est fissuré
ou endommagé, ne pas lʼinsérer dans un c argeur. Ne pas écraser,
laisser tomber ou endommager le bloc-piles. Ne pas utiliser un bloc-
piles ou un c argeur qui a reçu un c oc violent, qui est tombé, a été
écrasé ou est endommagé de quelque manière que ce soit (p. ex.
percé par un clou, frappé dʼun coup de marteau, piétiné). Les blocs-
piles endommagés doivent être envoyés au centre de réparation
pour être recyclés.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque dʼincendie. Ne pas ranger ou
transporter les piles de manière à ce que des objets métalliques
puissent entrer en contact avec les bornes exposées des piles.
Par exemple, ne pas mettre de pile dans un tablier, une poc e, une
boîte à outils, un boîtier de rangement, un tiroir, etc. contenant des
objets tels que des clous, des vis ou des clés.e transport des
piles peut causer un incendie si les bornes des piles entrent en
contact involontairement avec des matières conductrices
comme des clés, de la monnaie, des outils manuels et dʼautres
éléments semblables.Selon le règlement HMR du DOT (US
Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations), il est
effectivement interdit de transporter des piles pour le commerce et
dans les avions (c.-à-d. dans les valises et les bagages à main) À
MOINS quʼelles ne soient bien protégées contre les courts-circuits.
Pour le transport de piles individuelles, on doit donc sʼassurer que les
bornes sont protégées et bien isolées contre toute matière pouvant
entrer en contact avec elles et provoquer un court-circuit.
REMARQUE : Il ne faut pas laisser de piles au I-ION dans les
bagages enregistrés.
RECOMMANDATIONS EN MATIERE DE RANGEMENT
1. Le meilleur endroit de rangement est celui qui est frais et sec,
loin de toute lumière directe et protégé dʼune température extrême
(chaleur ou froid).
2. Un entreposage prolongé ne nuira pas au bloc-piles ou au
chargeur.
PROCEDURE DE CHARGE
Le chargeur standard fourni chargera une
pile complètement épuisée en 8 heures
environ.
1. Brancher le chargeur dans une prise
appropriée avant dʼinsérer le bloc-piles.
2. Insérer le bloc-piles dans le chargeur
comme le montre la figure 1.
