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. Acharger 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. 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. Awrench 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. Atool 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 tools 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.

Specific Safety Rules

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting 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.

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 approved

respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

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 frommaterials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

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: 1-800-544-6986.

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. Asmooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.

• 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.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES

• CONSERVEZ CES DIRECTIVES.

• Bien lire toutes les directives et tous les avertissements qui se trouvent sur (1) le

chargeur, (2) l’ensemble de piles et (3) l’outil avant d’utiliser le chargeur.

DANGER : Les bornes du chargeur sont sous une tension de 120 volts. Ne pas les

examiner avec un objet conducteur; cela présente des risques de secousses électriques.

DANGER : Ne pas placer dans le chargeur un ensemble de piles craqué ou endommagé;

cela présente des risques de secousses électriques.

MISE EN GARDE : Ne jamais tenter d’ouvrir un ensemble de piles. Lorsque le boîtier en

plastique craque ou se casse, en confier le recyclage à un centre de service.

AVERTISSEMENT : Ne laisser aucun liquide s’infiltrer dans le chargeur car cela

représente des risques de secousses électriques.

MISE EN GARDE : Afin de réduire les risques de blessures, charger seulement des piles

rechargeables Black & Decker. Tout autre type de piles peut exploser; ce qui présente des risques de blessures et de dommages.

• Pour faciliter le refroidissement de l’ensemble de piles après s’en être servi, éviter de

placer le chargeur ou l’ensemble de piles dans un endroit chaud comme une remise en métal ou une remorque non isolée.

• Protéger le chargeur de la pluie ou de la neige.

• L’utilisation d’un accessoire non recommandé ni vendu par Black & Decker comporte des

risques d’incendie, de secousses électriques ou de blessures.

• L’utilisation du chargeur pour tout ensemble de piles autres que les ensembles

rechargeables Black & Decker comporte des risques d’incendie et de secousses électriques.

• Pour minimiser les risques de dommages au cordon et à sa fiche, débrancher l’appareil

en tirant sur la fiche plutôt que sur le cordon.

• Placer le cordon de sorte qu’on ne puisse pas marcher ni s’accrocher dessus et qu’il ne

soit pas autrement sujet aux dommages et aux contraintes.

• 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. Si une rallonge est nécessaire, s’assurer que :

• les broches de la prise de la rallonge sont de mêmes nombre, taille et forme que celles de la prise du chargeur.

• la rallonge est correctement câblée et en bonne condition, et que le calibre du fil est suffisant pour l’intensité nominale de courant alternatif du chargeur comme spécifié ci-dessous.
