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.

•Abattery 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.Amoment 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 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 overreach. 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 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.

• 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 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 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.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by the operating
action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to
provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.

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.

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

Select position 2 for drilling with hammer action. 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.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETYand RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized service
centers or other qualified service personnel, always using identical replacement
parts.

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 25­35% solution of potassium hydroxide.

Charging the Battery Pack

THE BATTER YPACK IS NOTFULL YCHARGED ATTHE FACTORY. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE BA TTERY 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. After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours. If the bat­tery pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 6 hours to become fully charged.
Your battery pack was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before attempt­ing to use it, it must be charged for at least 9 hours.

2. 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.
Longest life and best performance can be obtained if battery pack is charged when air
temperature is about 75°F.(24°C).

3. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal con­dition and does not indicate a problem.

4. If the battery pack does not charge properly—(1) Check current 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 surrounding air temperature of 40°F (4,5 °C) to 105°F.(40,5 °C) (4) If the
receptacle and temperature are OK, and you do not get proper charging, take or send
the battery pack and charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See Tools
Electric in yellow pages.

5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs
which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its battery
pack in a depleted condition.

6. To prolong battery pack life, avoid leaving the battery pack on charge for extended
periods of time (over 30 days without use). Although overcharging is not a safety
concern, it can significantly reduce overall battery pack life.

7. The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times during
normal usage. There is no need to run the batteries down completely before recharging.
Normal usage is the best method of discharging and recharging the batteries.

Safety Warnings and Instructions: Drills

1. As shown in figure 3, use side handle and always hold drill firmly to control its twisting
action. Make sure that the side handle is securely attached and hand tightened to the
orange housing surface directly behind the torque adjust collar.

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 (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.

Operating Instructions

Trigger Switch & Reversing Button - Figure 4

The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing the trigger switch shown in Figure 4.
The farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill. Aforward/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 4. 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.

To rque Control - Figure 5

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.

Hammer Action – Figure 6

Your drill has hammer action which is engaged by shifting the hammer/drill button on the top
of the unit. To select hammering, turn off the drill and shift the hammer/drill button back
(away from the chuck) to the hammer symbol. To select drilling, turn off the drill and shift the
hammer/drill button forward towards the chuck.
