General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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 burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Hold power tools 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.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from air vents. Air vents often cover
moving parts in which these items can be caught.
• Hold tool firmly with two hands. Use auxiliary handle if provided. If auxiliary handle
not provided, grip tool at bottom of handle. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
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.
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
from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.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 pack terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

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 tool. The use of any other charger
could damage the tool or create a hazardous condition.
10. Use only one charger when charging.
11. Do not attempt to open the charger or the tool. There are no customer serviceable
parts inside. Return to any authorized Black & Decker service center.
12. DO NOT incinerate the tool 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 pack 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 pack 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 (FIGURE 1)
THE BATTERY PACK IS NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK, THOROUGHLY READ ALLOF THE
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.
1. Plug the charger (H) 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 (F) as shown in figure 1 and let the battery
pack charge initially for 12 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage, your
battery pack should be fully charged in 6 to 12 hours.
3. Unplug charger, and remove the battery pack. Place the battery pack 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 pack from the drill, press down on the release button
(G) on the back of the battery pack (figure 2) and slide out.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in 6 to 12 hours. If the
battery pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 12 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 12 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).
90543725 HP18V 10/10/08 1:31 PM Page 7

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. When the battery pack is inserted into the charger, the red “Charging Indicator” light will
come on indicating that there is contact between the battery pack and charger. The
light will stay on as long as the battery pack 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.
8. 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. 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

TRIGGER SWITCH & REVERSING BUTTON - FIGURE 3
The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing the trigger switch (A) shown in
figure 3. The farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill. A
forward/reverse control button (B) 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 to the left. To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse
control button to the right. 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
To set the tool’s torque, rotate the adjustable torque collar as required. There are 32 clutch
settings in all. These are indicated by numbers depicted on the torque collar. For light duty
work when using small screws, set the collar to the smallest number. Each click in a
counterclockwise direction means an increase in the torque produced. If the clutch slips
on the lightest setting, turn the clutch collar to a higher number. The highest position is the
drill mode and is indicated by a drill bit icon. In this position the clutch will not operate. This
permits heavy duty drilling.

tool is running. If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure that the gear shifter
button is either completely pushed forward or completely pushed back.
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.
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 two hands to control its twisting action.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF ASTALLED 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.
• Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which
should be drilled dry. The lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil or lard oil.
• When using twist drill bits to drill holes in wood, it will be necessary to pull the bits out
frequently to clear chips from the flutes.
• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
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.
