ENGLISH
u Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
u Have defective cords replaced immediately.
u Do not expose the battery charger to water.
u Do not open the battery charger.
u Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Black
& Decker may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
u An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result
in a risk of fire and electric shock, and will void the war-
ranty.
u Do not probe the battery charger.
u Never allow the red and black clamps to touch each other
or another common metal conductor. This could cause
damage to the appliance and/or create a spark/explosion
hazard.
Personal safety
u Wear complete eye protection and suitable clothing to give
Additional safety instructions for batteries
protection from contact with battery fluid.
u Avoid touching the eyes while working with a battery. Acid,
acid particles or corrosion may get into the eyes.
u Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces and watches when working with a lead-acid
battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit
current high enough to cause a severe burn.
u Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal
object onto the battery. This might cause sparks or short
circuit the battery or other electrical part, which can cause
an explosion.
Warning! Never attempt to charge a frozen
battery.
@
u Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur.
When you notice liquid on the batteries, carefully wipe the
liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
u In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions
below.
Warning! Battery fluid is a diluted sulphuric acid
and may cause personal injury or damage to
property. In case of skin contact, immediately
rinse with water. If redness, pain or irritation
occurs seek medical attention. In case of eye
contact, rinse immediately with clean water and
seek immediate medical attention.
@
Preparation before charging
u The appliance must only be connected to a 12V (6cell)
or 6V (3 cell) lead-acid battery. Before charging, confirm
that the voltage of the battery is 12V or 6V by referring to
the label on the battery or from the information available
relating to its application e.g. car user manual.
u The appliance is capable of maintaining a bettery with a
capacity upto 100 Ah.
u When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given
in the section "Protecting the environment".
u Do not use the appliance for charging dry-cell batteries
that are commonly used with home appliances. These bat-
teries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage
to property.
u Add distilled water in each cell until the battery acid
reaches the level specified by the battery manufacturer.
This helps to purge excess gas from the cells. Do not
overfill. For a battery without cell caps (maintenance free),
carefully follow the manufacturer's charging instructions.
u Study all the battery manufacturer's specific precautions,
such as removing or not removing cell caps while charg-
ing, and the recommended charging rates.
Warning! Explosive gas may be vented from
lead acid batteries when charging. Make sure
that the area is well ventilated and remove any
sources of ignition when conducting charging
procedures.
@
u Make sure that the initial charging rate does not exceed
the battery manufacturer's requirement.
u Position the battery charger as far away from the battery
as the leads will allow. The battery charger contains
switches that may create a spark.
u Do not place the battery charger above or stand the bat-
tery charger on top of the battery.
u Explosive gases may collect near the ground. Locate the
battery charger as high as possible above ground level.
u Do not use power tools in the charging area.
u Do not smoke or have a naked flame in the charging area.
u Follow the instructions for connecting and disconnecting
the battery charger leads or battery terminals.
Warning! Risk of explosive gas mixtures.
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 utmost importance that each time, before
using your battery charger, you read this manual
and follow the instructions exactly.

ENGLISH
Vehicles may have electrical and electronic systems (e.g.
engine management systems, mobile phones) that may be
damaged if subjected to high starting voltages and voltage
peaks. Before connecting the appliance to the vehicle, read
the vehicle's owner's manual to confirm that external charging
is allowed.
Connecting the battery charger
When all the preparations for charging and personal safety
have been completed, proceed as follows:
u For most automotive and similar applications the battery
charger may be connected to the battery while it is con-
nected to the dc circuit. If this is acceptable follow the
instructions given in "Charging a battery installed in the
circuit".
u Follow these instructions and those published by the bat-
tery manufacturer and vehicle manufacturer.
u Only connect and disconnect the dc output clamps after
removing the supply cord from the electric outlet. Never
allow clamps to touch each other.
u If the battery must be disconnected from the circuit before
charging, follow the instructions given in "Charging a bat-
tery disconnected from the circuit".
u Check the polarity of the vehicle battery terminals before
connecting the appliance. Always disconnect the negative
(black) cable first: followed by the positive (red) cable.
When charging a battery installed in the circuit follow the
manufacturers instructions for accessing the battery and the
following:
u Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.
u Be aware that engine components e.g. the coolant fan
may start automatically. Keep hands and body away from
engine components and position the battery charger and
cables to prevent contact.
Warning! A marine (boat) battery must be removed and
charged on shore. To charge it on-board requires equipment
specially designed for marine use.
Charging a battery installed in the circuit.
Incorrect connection, battery short circuit, location of battery
and location of the battery charger may create a hazard.
Make sure that adequate preparation has been made before
proceeding.
Warning! If the battery posts cannot be accessed or the bat-
tery charger clamps will contact the bodywork or components
adjacent to the battery, the battery must be removed before
charging. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to remove
the battery.
u Make sure that the battery charger and the cables are
located to prevent damage from closure of doors and
engine compartment covers.
u Make sure that the connections can be made without
touching the metal body or components adjacent to the
battery.
Check the polarity of the battery posts. A positive (POS, P, +)
battery post usually has a larger diameter than the negative
(NEG, N, -) battery post.
u When using this appliance in proximity to the vehicle's
battery and engine, stand the appliance on a flat, stable
surface and be sure to keep all clamps, cords, clothing
and body parts away from moving parts of the vehicle.
u If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to
charge or to clean the terminals, make sure that all acces-
sories in the vehicle are switched off, so as not to cause a
spark.
Follow the manufacturers' instructions to remove any insulat-
ing covers from the battery posts.
Connect the positive (red) clamp from the battery charger to
the positive (POS, P, +) post of the battery.
Connect the negative (black) clamp from the battery charger
to the negative (NEG, N, -) post of the battery.
When disconnecting the battery charger from the battery,
always:
u To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the
appliance from any power source before attempting
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls without
disconnecting the appliance will not reduce this risk.
u Switch off and unplug the battery charger.
u Remove the negative (black) clamp first.
u Remove the positive (red) clamp last.
u Refit any insulating covers to the battery posts.

Troubleshooting
If the appliance is not charging:
u Check that the battery charger is properly connected to a
live 230 Vac outlet (the LED will illuminate).
u Check that the correct charging voltage has been selected
for the battery being charged.
Separate collection of used products and packag-
ing allows materials to be recycled and used again.
Re-use of recycled materials helps prevent
environmental pollution and reduces the demand
for raw materials.
z
u If the voltage of the battery to be charged has fallen below
3.75 Volts, the battery cannot be charged with this battery
charger.
Local regulations may provide for separate collection of elec-
trical products from the household, at municipal waste sites or
by the retailer when you purchase a new product.
