GENERAL SAFETY RULES - FOR ALL BATTERY
OPERATED TOOLS
WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
• 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.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords may create a fire.
• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be
suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
• Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of
any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents cover moving parts and should be
avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before
inserting battery pack. Be sure trigger lock off is also in the locked position to
avoid accidental discharge. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting
the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on
another tool.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Important Safety Instructions for Nailers
WARNING: When using any nailer, all safety precautions, as outlined below,
should be followed to avoid the risk of death or serious personal injury. Read and
understand all instructions before operating the tool.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the fastening 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
• Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation material, or dust which could
harm operator’s eyes. The operator and all those persons in the general area should
wear safety glasses with permanently attached side shields. Approved safety glasses
are imprinted with the characters “Z87.1”.
• Always wear appropriate personal hearing and other protection during use.
Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
• Always engage lock off first then disconnect battery pack from the tool whenever
clearing a jam, performing any maintenance or repair, moving the tool or when the
tool is unattended.
• Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger, or contact trip
to become inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger or contact trip in the ON position. Do
not remove spring from contact trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result.
• Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool, trigger, or contact trip is
inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working properly. Damaged parts or
missing parts should be repaired or replaced before use.
• Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.
• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
• Do not point the tool at others or yourself at any time. No horseplay! Work safe!
Respect the tool as a working implement.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. When the tool is not in use, it should
be locked in a safe place out of reach of children.
• Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the trigger. Accidental discharge
could result.
• Always use lock-off when tool is not in immediate use. Using the lock-off will
prevent accidental discharge.

• Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge fasteners into open air,
concrete, stone, hardwoods, knots or any material too hard for the fastener to
penetrate. Discharged fasteners may cause injury.
• Do not use the body of the tool or top cap as a hammer.
• Always keep fingers clear of nail track of magazine to prevent injury from
inadvertent release of the pusher.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times.
• Refer to the Maintenance and Service sections for detailed information on the
proper maintenance of the tool.
• Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be sure the work surface is clear of
any debris and be careful not to lose footing when working in elevated environments
such as rooftops.
• Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The workpiece may split causing
the fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a bystander. Be aware that the nail may
follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the
work material. Drive the chisel point of the nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce
risk of injury.
• Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work area. Hold workpiece with
clamps when necessary to keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the
workpiece is properly secured before pressing the nailer against the material. The
contact trip may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.
• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases or fumes. The tool may
produce a spark that could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail
may also cause a spark.
• Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool cap when working in
restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result in impact to the body, especially when
nailing into hard or dense material.
• Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners. Recoil, jammed fasteners, or
ricocheted nails may result.
• Be aware of material thickness when using the nailer. A protruding nail may cause
injury.
• Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece.
• DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental
actuation when attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS;
• Engage lock-off.
• Remove battery pack.
• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments
• Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other work areas. Fasteners driven
into live electrical wires, plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in injury.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known 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 (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• 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

Battery Cap Information
Battery storage and carrying caps are provided
for use whenever the battery is out of the tool or
charger. Remove cap before placing battery in
charger or tool.
WARNING: 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. without battery cap. 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 carryon 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."
Safety Warnings and Instructions: Charging
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, and (3) product using battery.
3. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Black & Decker Battery
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.

9. Use only the supplied charger when charging your tool. The use of any other
charger could damage the drill or create a hazardous condition.
10. Use only one charger when charging.
11. Do not attempt to open the charger. There are no customer serviceable parts
inside. Return to any authorized Black & Decker service center.
12. DO NOT incinerate the battery packs even if they are severely damaged or
completely worn out. The batteries can explode in a fire.
13. A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under extreme usage,
charging or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the
outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of
10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a
25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
Charging Procedure
Your charger is designed to use standard 120 volt AC, 60 Hz power. Do not use DC or
any other voltage. Charge time is 60 minutes depending on battery pack type and
condition.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet. NOTE: Do not charge by
means of an engine generator or DC power source. Use only
120V AC.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger (Figure 1). Be sure the pack is
fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light will blink
continuously indicating that the charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON
continuously. The battery pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left in the charger.
4. Unplug charger, and remove the battery pack. Place the battery
in the tool and be certain that it is inserted fully into the tool
cavity until it “clicks” into place.
NOTE: To remove the battery pack from the product, press down
on the release button on the back of the battery (Figure 2) and
pull out.
Replace Pack
The charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise with battery packs which
would be indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery
pack. If problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is OK. If the
new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a
service center for recycling. If the new battery pack gives the same trouble indication as
the original, have charger tested at an authorized service center.
Wall Mounting (Figure 2A)
A hole is provided in the center of the charger for mounting on a
vertical surface.
Leaving the Battery Pack in the Charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely.
The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.

NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the
battery pack has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged
before use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not
plugged into an appropriate AC source.
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.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly — (1) Check power at receptacle by
plugging in a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check to see if receptacle is connected to
a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger
and
battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately
65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C). (4) If charging problems persist, take or send the tool,
battery pack and charger to your local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it does not produce sufficient power on
jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedures. You may also charge a partially used
pack whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. Black & Decker battery packs that are labeled “NiMH” should only be used with
chargers labeled “NiMH“ or “NiCd/NiMH.”
6. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the
exposed charging contacts inside 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.
7. Do not immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
