GENERAL SAFETY RULES - FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS

WA R N I N G ! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury

S A VE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
a c c i d e n t s .

• 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
f u m e s .

• 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 fro m
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
m e d i c a t i o n . A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury,

• D r ess pro p e r l y. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
h a i r, clothing , and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, 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 a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overre a c h . Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye pro t e c t i o n . 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
p l a t f o r m . Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of

c o n t r o l .

• 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
b e f o r e making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. S u c h
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• S t o r e 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
b e f o r e 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.

S E R V I C E

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may 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 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

also 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.

WA R N I N G : Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other re p r oductive 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 are a s
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
b o d y.

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.

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 META L

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.

Maintenance

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid
I M P O R TA N T : To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and

centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.

The RBRC™ Seal

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation)
Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to
recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been
paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel-cadmium
batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an
environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established
programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel­cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by
returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized Black & Decker service center
or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for
information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1 - 8 0 0 - 8 - B A T T E R Y.

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 Power 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. 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 drill or battery packs even if they are severely damaged or
completely worn out. The batteries can explode in a fire.

13. Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire. 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 Power Pack

THE BATTERIES IN YOUR POWER PACK ARE NOT F U L LY CHARGED AT T H E
FA C TO R Y. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THEM, T H O R O U G H LY READ A L L O F
THE SAFETY I N S T R U C T I O N S .

The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.

CHARGING PROCEDURE

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.

2. Insert 1 or 2 batteries into the charger (Figure 1).
NOTE: Charge time is the same for multiple batteries. Be sure the battery is fully

seated in the charger. The red “Charging Indicator” light will come on indicating that
there is contact between the battery and charger. The light will stay on as long as the
battery is in the charger and the charger is plugged into a working outlet. It WILL NOT
flash, go out or change to a different color when the charging cycle is complete.

Remove pack from the charger and place in tool. NOTE: To remove the battery from
the tool, press down on the release button on the back of the battery (Figure 2) and pull
out.

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely. T h e
charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.

N O T E : Abattery 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. A l w a y s
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.

8. This power unit is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mounted posi­t i o n .

Safety Warnings and Instructions: Drills

1. Hold drill firmly to control the twisting action of the drill. See Figure 3.

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. A l w a y s
expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the twisting action (see Fig. 3) 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.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ SPÉCIFIQUES

• Saisir l’outil par ses surfaces de prises isolées lorsque l’outil peut entrer en contact
avec des fils cachés. En cas de contact avec un fil sous tension, les pièces métalliques

de l’outil seront sous tension et l’utilisateur subira des secousses électriques.

• 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-piles puissent être placés à la verticale, dans cette position, ils peuvent
facilement être renversés.

AV E RTISSEMENT : certains outils électriques, tels que les sableuses, les scies, les

meules, les perceuses ou certains autres outils de construction, peuvent pro d u i r e
de la poussière contenant des produits chimiques susceptibles d’entraîner le
c a n c e r, des malformations congénitales ou pouvant être nocifs pour le système
re p r oductif. Parmi ces produits chimiques, on re t r ouve :

· 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 eff e c t u e
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 avec de 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.

AV E RTISSEMENT : 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 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.

AV E RTISSEMENT : S ’ a s s u r e r , 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 court­c i r c u i t .

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
blocs-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 ’ u t i l i s a t e u r, 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.

CALIBRE MINIMAL RECOMMANDÉ DES RALLONGES
(INTENSITÉ NOMINALE DE 0,0 À 10,0 AMPÈRES)

Longueur totale de la rallonge (en pieds) 2 5 5 0 7 5 1 0 0 1 2 5 150
Calibre AW G 1 8 1 8 1 6 1 6 1 4 1 4

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. Ne pas incinérer les piles, car elles peuvent exploser en présence de flammes. 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

v i n a i g r e ;

•Charger le bloc-pile pendant 9 heures avant d’utiliser l’outil pour la
p r e m i è r e fois.Pour obtenir plus de renseignements, consulter la section
«Chargement du bloc-pile» du présent guide.
