GENERAL SAFETY RULES
FOR ALL BATTERY
OPERATED TOOLS
W ARNING! 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. A charger 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. A wrench 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
2
611193-00 Rd1440 drill manual 7/16/02 3:54 PM Page 2
3
making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or
storing the tool.Such preventive
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 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. T o 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.

Charging the Power Pack
THE BATTERIES IN YOUR POWER
P ACK ARE NOT FULLY CHARGED
AT THE FACTORY. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THEM,
THOROUGHL Y 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.
2. Slide the charger onto the battery
pack as shown in Figure 1 and let it
charge initially for 9 hours. After
the initial charge, under normal
usage, your power pack should be
fully charged in 3 to 6 hours.
3. Remove pack from the charger and
place in product. NOTE: To remove
the battery from the product, press
down on the release button on the
back of the battery (Figure 2) and
pull out.
IMPORTANT CHARGING
NOTES
1. After normal usage, your power
pack should be fully charged in 3 to
6 hours. If the power pack is rundown completely, it may take up to 6
hours to become fully charged. Your
power 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 power pack in
an air temperature below 40°F or
above 105°F. This is important and
will prevent serious damage to the
power pack. Longest life and best
performance can be obtained if
power pack is charged when air
temperature is about 75°F.
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 power 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 power pack to a
surrounding air temperature of 40°F
to 105°F. (4) If the receptacle and
temperature are ok, and you do not
get proper charging, take or send
the power pack and charger to your
local Black & Decker service center.
See Tools Electric in yellow pages.
5. The power 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
power pack in a depleted condition.
6. To prolong power pack life, avoid
leaving the power 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
power pack life.
7. When the battery is inserted into
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.
8. The power 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: CHARGING
THE BATTERY
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 your tool. The use of any
other charger could damage the
battery 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 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.) W ash 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.
