IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL APPLIANCES
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Read all instructions before operating product. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Don’t use appliances in damp or wet locations. Don’t use appliances in the rain.
• INTENDED FOR INDOOR AND HOUSEHOLD USE UNDER DRY CONDITION.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a distance from work area.
STORE IDLE APPLIANCES INDOORS. When not in use, appliances should be stored indoors in dry, and high or
locked-up place – out of reach of children.
DON’T FORCE APPLIANCE. It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it
was designed.
USE RIGHT APPLIANCE. Do not use the appliance for any job except that for which it is intended.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and
substantial, non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
USE SAFETY GLASSES AND OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields,
complying with applicable safety standards and, when needed, a face shield. Also use face or dust mask if operation is
dusty. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use a hard hat, hearing protection, gloves, safety shoes and
dust collection systems when specified or required. Safety glasses or the like are available at extra cost at your local
dealer or Black & Decker Service Center.
DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry appliance by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat,
oil, and sharp edges.
DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
DISCONNECT APPLIANCES. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply when not in use, before servicing, and
when changing accessories.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry plugged-in appliance with finger on switch.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuits or outlets to be used.
Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
USE OF ACCESSORIES AND ATTACHMENTS. The use of any accessory or attachment not recommended for use with
this appliance could be hazardous. Note: Refer to the accessory section of this manual for further details.
STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated else-
where in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Do not use tool if
switch does not turn it on and off.
DO NOT OPERATE portable electric tools near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in
these tools normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
• EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
WARNING: BURST HAZARD: Do not use the unit for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with
home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage property. Use the unit for
charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other than in
a starter-motor application.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD:
• If an extension cord is used, make sure that:
a) the pins of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the battery maintainer,
b) the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition,
c) the wire size is large enough for the AC rating of the charger as indicated in the table on page 3.
• Do not operate unit with damaged cord or plug; or if the unit has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way. Do not disassemble the unit; take it to a qualified service technician when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire, and will void warranty.
• Use of an attachment not supplied, recommended or sold by manufacturer specifically for use with this unit may re-
sult in a risk of electrical shock and injury to persons.
• NEVER submerge this unit in water; do not expose it to rain, snow or use when wet.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the unit from any power source before attempting maintenance or
cleaning. Turning off controls without disconnecting will not reduce this risk.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES:
• Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery
operation. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance that each time before using the battery maintainer you read
this manual and follow instructions exactly.
• To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer
and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary markings on
these products and on the engine.
• This equipment employs parts (switches, relays, etc.) that produce arcs or sparks. Therefore, if used in a garage or
enclosed area, the unit MUST be placed not less than 18 inches above the floor.
• THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN AND SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED BY ADULTS.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Pull cord by plug rather than cord when disconnecting the 120V AC Charging Adapter from the unit.
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO JUMP-START OR CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is connected to the vehicle
during the operation of the battery maintainer. Before maintaining the battery with the battery maintainer, read the
vehicle’s owner’s manual to confirm proper method of maintaining vehicle battery.
• When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate assistance is available in case of accident or
emergency.
• Always wear protective eyewear when using this product: contact with battery acid may cause blindness and/or severe
burns. Be aware of first aid procedures in case of accidental contact with battery acid.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water for at least 10 minutes and get med-
ical attention immediately.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery, engine or battery maintainer.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with a lead acid bat-
tery. A lead acid battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring, or the like of a metal, caus-
ing a severe burn.
• Never allow battery acid to come in contact with this unit.
• Do not operate this unit in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
