SAFETY RULES
FOR POWER TOOLS
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL—Read owner’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations as well
as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool.
2. GROUND ALL TOOLS—UNLESS DOUBLE-INSUUTED.
If tool is equipped wth three-prong plug, it should be
plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle. If adapter
is used to accommodate two-pronged receptacle, the
adapter wire must be attached to a known ground. Never
remove third prong.
3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power
tool In damp or wet locations. And keep work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe
distance from work area.
7. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be
stored in dry, high or locked-up place—out of reach of
children.
8. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment
to do the job of a heavy duty tool.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing or jewelry to
get caught In moving parts. Rubber gloves and footwear
are recommended when working outdoors.
11. USE SAFETY GLASSES with most tools. Also face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
12. DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank H
to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
13. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work, ft's
safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to
operate tool.
14. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
15. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp at all
times, and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
Instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
16. DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing;
when changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters,
etc.
17. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning it on.
18. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING: Don't carry plugged-in
tool with finger on switch.
SWITCHES
Pulling the Trigger Switch turns the tool "ON"; releasing the
trigger turns the tool "OFF" To lock switch "ON", depress
trigger, hold In locking button, and release trigger. Release but
ton and tool will stay "ON". To then turn tool "OFF", depress
and release trigger.
The reversing switch is mounted on the top of the tool and for
driving fasteners is placed in the forward position. To reverse
rotation for fastener removal, first release trigger to turn tool
"OFF", then move toggle switch back to reverse tool.
For maximum tool life avoid excessive reverse operation. For
those operations where the tool is used primarily in reverse, see
your Black and Decker Distributor or Black and Decker Service
Center.
MOTOR
Your Black and Decker tool is powered by a B&D built motor.
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking.
Volts AC means Alternating Current (25 to 60 cycles) ONLY.
VOLTS AC/DC means it will also operate on Direct Current.
Voltage variation of more than 10% will cause loss of power
and over-heating. All B&D tools are factory-tested; if this tool
does not operate, check the following: Supply line for blown
fuses; plug and receptacle for contact; carbon brushes for
contact.
COMMUTATOR AND BRUSHES
Inspect carbon brushes often. Replace when brushes are worn
down to the identifying letter or groove or when spring exerts
insufficient pressure to hold brush against commutator. Keep
brushes clean and sliding freely in guides. Inspect commutator
for dirt and exessive wear. If dirty or rough, clean lightly with
very fine sandpaper (not emery cloth). If badly worn or
grooved, send tool to our nearest service station for repair
(see back page).
GROUNDING
These units are equipped with approved 3-conductor cord and
3-prong grounding type attachment plug to be used with the
proper grounding type receptacle, in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical Code.
IF YOUR UNIT REQUIRES LESS THAN 150 VOLTS IT HAS A
PLUG THAT LOOKS LIKE FIG. "A". It will fit directly into the
proper type of 3-wire grounding receptacle. The unit is then
grounded automatically each time it Is plugged in.
Shown in Fig. "B" is a special grounding adaptor (not allowed
in Canada by the Canadian Electrical Code) which is available
from your dealer and will permit using a 2-wire receptacle.
The green grounding wire extending from the side of the
adapter must be connected to a PERMANENT GROUND.
IF THE UNIT REQUIRES FROM 150 TO 250 VOLTS, IT HAS A
PLUG LIKE FIGURE "C". No adapter is available and it should
be used in the proper standard matching 3-wire grounding
receptacle.

CABLE
The cable is the "life line" of your tool—keep it clean by
wiping it off occasionally. Keep it out of oils and greases which
ruin the rubber. Coil it neatly when not in use and avoid
dragging it across sharp surfaces or using it as a handle to lift
the tool. When using the tool at a considerable distance from
power source, an extension cable of adequate size must be
used to prevent loss of power and over-heating. Use the table
below for 115-volt tools. For 220-volt tools, use wire size corres
ponding to an extension length of V2 the contemplated length.

OPERA TION-CLUTCHES
In all Black and Decker Scruguns, a clutch provides a "dead”
or stationary front spindle to permit the driving accessory to
"locate” the screw slot or nut. Forward pressure then engages
the clutch and drives the fastener.
No. 12 Scruguns are equipped with either a "Positive” or
"Adjustable” clutch. Operation of these clutches is as follows:
CLEANING
With the tool motor running, blow dirt and dust out of all air
vents with dry air at least once a week. Also blow any dirt out of
Switches, Quick-change Chuck or Screw Depth Locator. If your tool
has a Locator, it should be disassembled after each day's work
and all parts cleaned with kerosene or other cleaning solvent.
Preferably, dry parts with an air hose with the motor running.
Positive Clutch—With the positive clutch, output torque of the
screwdriver Is directly controlled by operator pressure against the
fastener. A heavy forward pressure will hold the clutch engaged
to a high torque; while light forward pressure allows the clutch to
disengage at a lower torque. Release of pressure completely
disengages the clutch. Maximum torque on a fastener is reached
by maintaining forward pressure on the tool and allowing the
clutch to ratchet momentarily; the resultant hammering will
further tighten the fastener.
Adjustable Clutch—The adjustable clutch mechanism allows the
operator to drive a series of fasteners to a pre-set uniform
torque. Torque output is controlled mechanically by a spring
loaded clutch mechanism and operator pressure on the tool has
no effect on output. The adjustable clutch mechanism is also
provided with a dead spindle so that complete release of pres
sure on tool will disengage output spindle.
To adjust the clutch, slide the locking ring toward the gear
case. This action unlocks the adjusting ring and allows it to be
rotated. Turning the adjusting ring so that it moves toward the
gear case will increase the output torque of the clutch.
An increase in the force required to turn the adjusting ring
indicates that the clutch setting is Increasing.
Turning the ring so that it moves away from the gear case
will decrease the clutch setting. This is matched with a decrease
In effort required to turn the adjusting ring. CAUTION: Once
the adjusting ring is free from spring pressure additional loosen
ing has no. further effect on the clutch and should be avoided.
If the adjusting ring is loosened too far it will come off the
tool allowing the locking ring and spring also to come off. No
damage is done and these can be reassembled by operator.

LUBRICATION
Black and Decker Tools are completely lubricated at factory and
are ready for use. Gears should be relubricated every 60 days
to 6 months depending upon use. To lubricate, remove gear
case, wipe out old grease, and refill gear case with B&D HeavyDuty Grease to the amount specified on the Parts List packed
with your tool.
It is also recommended that the clutch faces be given a light
greasing after every 50 hours of usage. Refer to "exploded"
parts bulletin (included with your tool) If you have any difficulty
in making the minor disassembly necessary to reach the clutch.

SLOTTED HEAD SCREWS are easily driven with "Bit and Finder”
accessories. Finder Sleeve No. 65879 adapts the thread on the
front of the clutch housing to hold all 719000 series Finders
which then become integral with the housing.
If you prefer, separate Bits with Rotating Finders are available
to mount directly in the Scrugun chuck. See your B&D Catalog
No. 1 for the complete selection of accessories.
