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.
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
•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. 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.with sharp.
•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 create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

Safety Warnings and Instructions: Charging the Drill
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 drill. 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 or the drill. There are no customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any authorized Black & Decker service center.
12.DO NOT incinerate the drill or 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 the Battery Pack
THE BATTERY PACK IS NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.
1.Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet. NOTE: Do not charge by means of an engine generator or DC power source. Use only 120V AC.
2.Slide the charger onto the battery pack as shown in Figure 1 and let the battery charge initially for 9 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours.
3.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 from the drill, press down on the release button on the back of the battery (Figure 2) and slide out.
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.
Safety Warnings and Instructions: Drills
1.Hold drill firmly with one hand on the grip and the other hand on the bottom of the battery pack.
2.When attaching accessories in the drill chuck, hand tighten the keyless chuck firmly.
WARNING: Drill may stall (if overloaded or improperly used) causing a twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the twisting action and prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. If a stall does occur, release the trigger immediately and determine the reason for the stall before re-starting.
Operating Instructions
Trigger Switch & Forward/Reverse Button - Figure 3
The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing the trigger switch shown in Figure 3. The farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill. A forward/reverse control button determines the direction of the tool and also serves as a lock off button. To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse control button as depicted in Figure 3. To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control button the opposite direction. The center position of the control button locks the tool in the off position. When changing the position of the control button, be sure the trigger is released.
Torque Control - Figure 4
This tool is fitted with a collar to select the operating mode and to set the torque for tightening screws. Large screws and hard workpiece materials require a higher torque setting than small screws and soft workpiece materials.
•For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar to the drilling position symbol 
.
•For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as follows:
•Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
•Tighten the first screw.
•If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is achieved, increase the collar setting and continue tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct setting. Use this setting for the remaining screws.
Dual Range Gearing - Figure 5
The dual range feature of your drill allows you to shift gears for greater versatility. To select low speed, high torque setting (position 1), turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter button forward towards the chuck. To select the high speed, low torque setting
(position 2), turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter button back (away from chuck).
NOTE: Do not change gears when tool is running. If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual range gear button is either completely pushed forward or completely pushed back.
Keyless Chuck
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
1.Grasp the rear half of the chuck with one hand and use your other hand to rotate the front half in the counterclockwise direction, as viewed from the chuck end.
2.Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and tighten securely by holding the rear half of the chuck and rotating the front portion in the clockwise direction as viewed from the chuck end.
WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur when changing accessories.
Removable Chuck with Quick ConnectTM Bit Change System - Figure 6
Another unique feature of your drill is the ability to remove the chuck quickly and easily. This allows for a drill bit to be in the keyless chuck, while another accessory such as a screwdriver bit, can be inserted into the Quick ConnectTM hex shaft at the same time.
To remove the chuck:
1.Grasp the drill and depress the two orange buttons on the chuck collar as shown in Figure 6.
2.With the buttons depressed, pull straight out.
To replace the chuck:
1.Push the quick connect chuck straight on with a slight twisting motion until you hear it click into place.
To insert a screwdriver bit into the Quick ConnectTM hex shaft, push the bit in until you hear it click into place. To remove the bit, hold the drill as shown in figure 7. Push in evenly on the spring loaded disc with two fingers and pull the bit straight out.
Screw Driving
For driving fasteners, the reversing button should be pushed to the left. Use reverse (button pushed to the right) for removing fasteners. When moving from forward to reverse, or vice versa, always release the trigger switch first.
On Board Bit Storage
A bit storage slot is built-in to the area just above the battery.
Drilling
•Use sharp drill bits only.
•Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
•Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
•Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
•Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping out of it.
•Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
•Hold the drill firmly with one hand on the grip and the other hand on the bottom of the battery pack to control its twisting action.
•DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
•Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
•Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.
•Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
WARNING: It is important to support the work properly and to hold the drill firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. If you have any questions on how to properly operate tool, call: 1-800-54-HOW-TO (544-6986).
Drilling in Wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be sharp and should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips from the flutes.
Drilling in Metal
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The cutting lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil.
Drilling in Masonry
Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer to Drilling section. Keep even force on the drill but not so much that you crack the brittle material. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES CONCERNANT LES OUTILS À PILES
AVERTISSEMENT : LIRE, COMPRENDRE ET SUIVRE TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES précisées ci-dessous afin d’éviter les risques de choc électrique, d’incendie ou de blessure grave.
Aire de travail
•Garder l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée; les établis encombrés et les endroits sombres sont propices aux accidents.
•Ne pas utiliser les outils électriques dans une atmosphère explosive, comme à proxim0ité de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables; le moteur peut créer des étincelles et enflammer les vapeurs ou les poussières environnantes.
•Tenir les enfants, les visiteurs ou toute autre personne à l’écart lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique; les distractions peuvent faire perdre la maîtrise de ce dernier.
Mesures de sécurité – Électricité
•Ne pas utiliser le cordon de manière abusive; on ne doit pas transporter l’outil en le tenant par le cordon. On doit tenir le cordon à l’écart des sources de chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants ou des pièces mobiles. Remplacer immédiatement les cordons endommagés, car ces derniers peuvent causer un incendie.
•Un outil à piles intégrées ou à bloc-pile externe doit être rechargé seulement au moyen du chargeur approprié, car un chargeur destiné à une pile particulière peut entraîner un risque d’incendie lorsqu’il est utilisé avec une autre.
•N’utiliser l’outil à piles qu’avec le bloc-pile désigné, car l’utilisation d’un autre type de piles peut entraîner un risque d’incendie.
Sécurité personnelle
•Rester vigilant en tout temps et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique. Ne pas utiliser l’outil lorsqu’on est fatigué ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments, car un moment d’inattention pourrait entraîner des blessures graves.
•Porter des vêtements appropriés. Ne pas porter des vêtements amples ou des bijoux. Couvrir ou attacher les cheveux longs. Garder les cheveux, les vêtements, les bijoux et les gants éloignés des pièces mobiles, car ceux-ci peuvent s’y coincer. Se tenir éloigné des évents puisque ces derniers pourraient camoufler des pièces mobiles.
•Éviter les démarrages accidentels; s’assurer que l’interrupteur est en position de verrouillage ou d’arrêt avant d’insérer le bloc-pile dans l’outil. Ne pas transporter l’outil en laissant le doigt sur l’interrupteur ni y insérer le bloc-pile lorsque l’interrupteur est en position de marche, car cela pourrait causer un accident.
•Retirer les clés de réglage avant de démarrer l’outil. Une clé laissée sur une pièce rotative pourrait entraîner des blessures.
•Ne pas trop étendre les bras. Les pieds doivent rester ancrés fermement au sol afin de maintenir son équilibre en tout temps et de mieux maîtriser l’outil dans des situations imprévues.
•Utiliser le matériel de sécurité approprié; toujours porter des lunettes de protection. Porter un masque anti-poussières, des chaussures antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des protecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert.
Utilisation et entretien de l’outil
•Fixer et soutenir la pièce sur une plate-forme stable au moyen d’une bride de serrage ou de tout autre dispositif semblable. La pièce est instable lorsqu’on la retient manuellement ou qu’on l’appuie contre le corps, ce qui pourrait faire perdre la maîtrise de l’outil.
•Ne pas forcer l’outil ni l’utiliser pour des travaux autres que ceux pour lesquels il a été conçu. Pour obtenir de meilleurs résultats et prévenir les risques de blessure, laisser l’outil couper à la vitesse pour laquelle il a été conçu.
•Ne pas utiliser l’outil lorsque l’interrupteur marche-arrêt ne fonctionne pas. Un outil qui ne peut être commandé au moyen de l’interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.
•Debrancher le bloc-pile de l’outil ou mettre l’interrupteur en position de verrouillage ou d’arret avant d’effectuer un reglage, de changer les accessoires ou de ranger l’outil; ces mesures de sécurité préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel.
•Lorsqu’on n’utilise pas l’outil, le ranger hors de la portée des enfants ou des personnes non qualifiées. Les outils sont dangereux entre les mains de personnes inexpérimentées.
•Lorsqu’on n’utilise pas le bloc-pile, le ranger à l’écart des objets métalliques tels que les trombones, les pièces de monnaie, les clés, les clous, les vis ou autres
petits objets susceptibles de conduire l’électricité entre les bornes et d’occasionner ainsi un court-circuit pouvant provoquer des étincelles, des brûlures ou un incendie.
•Bien entretenir l’outil; s’assurer qu’il est toujours bien propre et aiguisé. Les outils bien entretenus et dont les bords sont bien tranchants sont moins susceptibles de rester coincés et sont plus faciles à maîtriser.
•Vérifier les pièces mobiles afin de s’assurer qu’elles sont bien alignées et qu’elles ne restent pas coincées. Vérifier également les pièces afin de s’assurer qu’il n’y a aucun bris ni aucune autre condition susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l’outil. Faire réparer l’outil si ce dernier est endommagé avant de s’en servir à nouveau, car les accidents sont souvent causés par des outils mal entretenus.
•N’utiliser que les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant pour le modèle concerné. Un accessoire destiné à un outil particulier peut être dangereux lorsqu’il est utilisé avec un autre.
Entretien
•L’outil doit être entretenu par le personnel qualifié seulement; toute maintenance effectuée par une personne non qualifiée pourrait entraîner des risques de blessure.
•Lors de l’entretien, n’utiliser que des pièces de rechange identiques et suivre les directives précisées à la section « Entretien » du présent guide afin de prévenir les risques de choc électrique ou de blessure.

•Tenir l’outil par les surfaces isolées prévues à cette fin lorsqu’il risque d’entrer en contact avec des fils cachés ou son propre cordon, car de tels contacts peuvent mettre les pièces métalliques de l’outil sous tension, engendrant des risques de choc électrique.
•Lorsqu’on est installé sur une échelle ou un échafaudage pour travailler, on doit déposer l’outil sur le côté lorsqu’on ne s’en sert plus. Bien que certains outils munis d’un gros bloc-pile puissent être placés à la verticale, dans cette position, ils peuvent facilement être renversés.
AVERTISSEMENT : Certains outils électriques, tels que les sableuses, les scies, les meules, les perceuses ou certains autres outils de construction, peuvent produire de la poussière contenant des produits chimiques susceptibles d’entraîner le cancer, des malformations congénitales ou pouvant être nocifs pour le système reproductif. Parmi ces produits chimiques, on retrouve :
•le plomb dans les peintures à base de plomb,
•la silice cristalline dans les briques et le ciment et autres produits de maçonnerie,
•l’arsenic et le chrome dans le bois de sciage ayant subi un traitement chimique (comme l’arséniate de cuivre et de chrome).
Le risque associé à de telles expositions varie selon la fréquence avec laquelle on effectue ces travaux. Pour réduire l’exposition à de tels produits, il faut travailler dans un endroit bien aéré et utiliser le matériel de sécurité approprié, tel un masque anti-poussières spécialement conçu pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.
•Éviter tout contact prolongé avec la poussière soulevée par cet outil ou autres outils électriques. Porter des vêtements de protection et nettoyer les parties exposées du corps à l’eau savonneuse. S’assurer de bien se protéger afin d’éviter d’absorber par la bouche, les yeux ou la peau des produits chimiques nocifs.
AVERTISSEMENT : Cet outil peut produire et répandre de la poussière susceptible de causer des dommages sérieux et permanents au système respiratoire. Toujours utiliser un appareil respiratoire anti-poussières approprié approuvé par le NIOSH ou l’OSHA. Diriger les particules dans le sens opposé du visage et du corps.

Information concernant le capuchon du bloc-pile
Un capuchon est fourni avec le bloc-pile en vue d’être utilisé chaque fois qu’on retire ce dernier de l’outil ou du chargeur en vue de le ranger ou de le transporter; enlever le capuchon avant de remettre le bloc-pile dans le chargeur ou dans l’outil.
AVERTISSEMENT : S’assurer, au moment de ranger ou de transporter un bloc-pile ou une pile, qu’aucun objet métallique n’entre en contact avec leurs bornes à découvert de celui-ci. Par exemple, il faut éviter de placer un bloc-pile ou une pile sans capuchon dans un tablier, une poche, une boîte à outils ou un tiroir (etc.) contenant des objets tels que des clous, des vis ou des clés, car tout contact entre les bornes à découvert et un objet métallique comme une clé, une pièce de monnaie, un outil à main. etc. pourrait causer un incendie. En effet, les règlements américains Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) du US Department of Transportation interdisent le transport d’un bloc-pile ou d’une pile dans tout moyen de transport commercial ou aéronef (que ce soit dans une valise ou le bagage de cabine) SAUF s’ils sont bien protégés contre les courts-circuits. On doit donc s’assurer, lorsqu’on transporte un bloc-pile ou une pile séparément, de bien protéger et isoler les bornes contre tout matériau qui risque d’entrer en contact avec eux et de causer un court-circuit.
Directives et consignes de sécurité concernant le chargement de la perceuse
1.Le présent guide comprend d’importantes directives, dont un mode d’emploi et des consignes de sécurité.
2.Avant d’utiliser le chargeur, lire toutes les directives et les étiquettes de mise en garde apposées sur (1) le chargeur, (2) la pile et (3) le produit utilisant la pile.
3.
MISE EN GARDE : Afin de réduire les risques de blessure, ne charger que des bloc-piles Black & Decker, car les autres peuvent éclater et entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels.
4.Ne pas exposer le chargeur à la pluie ou à la neige.
5.L’utilisation d’un accessoire n’étant ni recommandé ni vendu par Black & Decker peut entraîner des risques d’incendie, de choc électrique ou de blessure.
6.Afin de réduire les risques de dommage à la fiche ou au cordon électrique, débrancher le chargeur en saisissant la fiche, non le cordon.
7.S’assurer que le cordon est placé de manière à éviter qu’il ne subisse des dommages ou des contraintes ou que les personnes s’y prennent les pieds et trébuchent.
8.Ne pas utiliser de rallonge à moins que cela ne soit absolument nécessaire, car l’usage d’une rallonge ayant une puissance inadéquate pourrait causer des risques
d’incendie, de choc électrique ou d’électrocution.
a.Bien qu’on puisse utiliser un cordon bifilaire avec une rallonge bifilaire ou trifilaire, on ne doit utiliser qu’une rallonge à cordon; on recommande que celle-ci soit approuvée par l’organisme américain Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique à l’extérieur, on ne doit utiliser que des rallonges conçues pour cet usage, comme celles de type W-A ou W. Toute rallonge conçue pour un usage extérieur peut aussi être employée à l’intérieur.
b.Afin d’éviter une perte de puissance ou une surchauffe et d’assurer la sécurité de l’utilisateur, la rallonge doit être de calibre AWG approprié. Plus le calibre est petit, plus
la capacité est grande; autrement dit, une rallonge de calibre 16 est plus puissante qu’une rallonge de calibre 18. Lorsqu’on utilise plusieurs rallonges pour obtenir la longueur voulue, s’assurer que chacune d’elles présente les valeurs minimales requises.

9.Ne charger l’outil qu’au moyen du chargeur fourni, car l’usage de tout autre dispositif pourrait endommager l’outil ou engendrer une situation dangereuse.
10.N’utiliser qu’un seul chargeur durant le chargement.
11.Ne pas ouvrir le chargeur ni la perceuse; ces derniers ne contiennent aucune pièce pouvant être réparée par le client et doivent être retournés à un centre de service Black & Decker, le cas échéant.
12.NE PAS incinérer la perceuse ou le bloc-pile, y compris ceux gravement endommagés ou complètement déchargés, car ils peuvent exploser en présence de flammes.
13.Les cellules peuvent subir une fuite légère par suite d’un usage extrême, du chargement ou d’une exposition à certaines températures; cela n’indique pas un problème. Cependant, si le scellant externe est percé et le liquide entre en contact avec la peau, on doit:
a.se laver rapidement la partie du corps touchée avec de l’eau savonneuse;
b.neutraliser l’effet au moyen d’un acide doux tel que du jus de citron ou du vinaigre;
c.si les yeux sont touchés, les rincer à fond avec de l’eau propre pendant au moins 10
