[. . . ] 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. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. [. . . ] Electrical safety Additional safety instructions for batteries and chargers Batteries u Never attempt to open for any reason. U Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C. U Charge only at ambient temperatures between 10 °C and 40 °C. U When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section "Protecting the environment". Vibration The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical data and the declaration of conformity have been measured in accordance with a standard test method provided by EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure. The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time. Chargers u Use your BLACK+DECKER charger only to charge the battery in the tool with which it was supplied. 6 (Original instructions) $ + # u ENGLISH Use The charger is intended for indoor use only. Your charger is double insulated; therefore no earth wire is required. Always check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. A) The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily done before. The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem. Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C. The battery should be left in the charger and the charger will begin to charge automatically when the cell temperature warms up or cools down. The charge is complete when the charging indicator (9) switches to continuously on. The charge is complete when the charging indicator (9) lights green continuously. The charger and the battery can be left connected indefinitely with the LED illuminated. The LED will change to flashing green (charging) state as the charger occasionally tops off the battery charge. The charging indicator (9) will be lit as long as the battery is connected to the plugged-in charger.
