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 residual

current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD 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 energizing 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 toolʼs 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

• 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.

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a

stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

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

90564630 li4000 revision.qxd:??????-00 BDL500 laser 5/25/10 7:45 AM Page 2

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.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eye glasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection

twisting action 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.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT

WALL MOUNTING THE CHARGING CRADLE (FIGURES A, B)

The charging cradle can be placed on a level surface or mounted to a wall. Use the hardware provided only if hanging on conventional sheet rock or plaster walls. If not hanging on conventional sheet rock or plaster walls, please use the appropriate fasteners for that material.

• Choose a location that is within reach of an electrical outlet.

• If wall mounting, space mounting screws the same distance apart (3 inches 75mm) as the slots on the back of the charger shown in figure A. NOTE: Avoid damaging the cord while fixing the charging cradle (10) to the wall.

• Plug in charger and place the product in position (figure B). Make sure the charge indicator light (9) is on. If the indicator light is not on, adjust unit to make sure charging contacts (8) are touching.

INSERTING AND REMOVING BITS (FIGURE C)

• To install a bit simply insert it into the cavity in the hex spindle (6) as shown in figure C. To remove the bit pull it straight out.

TORQUE CONTROL (FIGURE D)

Your screwdriver is equipped with a six position clutch collar (4). When the tool reaches the preselected torque setting the clutch slips, thus limiting how tightly a screw is driven.

• The toolʼs motor will continue to run as long as the switch button is depressed.

• To set the toolʼs torque, rotate the adjustable clutch collar (4) clockwise or counterclockwise as required (figure D). The larger the screw icon, the higher the torque. Each click in a clockwise direction (facing the spindle ) means an increase in the torque produced.

FORWARD / REVERSE / LOCK OFF SLIDER (FIGURE E)

• To select forward or reverse rotation, use the forward / reverse slider (2) (see arrows on the slider). A window (3) on the top of the unit will display the rotating direction with an arrow (figure E). NOTE: When the forward / reverse slider is in the central position the tool is locked off to prevent accidental actuation or battery discharge.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SWITCHING ON AND OFF

• To run the tool, press the switch (1).

• To stop the tool, release the switch.

• To lock the tool in the off position, move the forward / reverse slider (2) to the central position.

SCREW DRIVING

• Insert the appropriate screwdriver bit into the hex spindle.

• Select forward or reverse rotation.

• Set the clutch collar to the smallest screw icon and begin driving screw (low torque).

• If the clutch ratchets too soon, adjust the clutch collar to increase the torque as required.

SCREW DRIVING USING THE BUILT-IN SCREW HOLDER (FIGURES F - I)

The screw holder (7) can be used with both one and two inch screwdriver bits. It cannot be used with bit tip holder extensions.

To use the screw holder:

• Grasp the screw holder carrier and pull it out from the screwdriver. (figure F)

• Place desired screw onto screw holder carrier (figure G). Ensure screw threads rest on screw carrier as shown.

10. Do not attempt to open the charger. There are no customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any authorized Black & Decker service center.

11. DO NOT incinerate the tool or batteries even if they are severely damaged or completely worn out. The batteries can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium ion battery packs are burned.

12. Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.

13. If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for three minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or

flame.

Charging Procedure

THE BATTERIES IN YOUR TOOL ARE NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THEM, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

To charge your screwdriver, follow the steps below.

1. Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet.

2. Place the screwdriver into the charging cradle(10) making sure to match the charging contacts (8) on the handle of the screwdriver with the contacts in the charging cradle. The red (charging) light will illuminate indicating that the charging process has started.

3. Let the tool charge initially for at least 12 hours. After the initial charge, your tool should be fully charged in 12 hours from a fully discharged condition. Recharge

discharged batteries as soon as possible after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For longest battery life, do not discharge batteries fully. It is

recommended that the batteries be recharged after each use

Important Charging Notes

1. Your tool 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 batteries 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 batteries. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if batteries are 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 batteries do 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 tool to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F (4,5 °C) to 105°F (+40,5 °C). (4) If the charger

is mounted on a wall make sure the charge indicator light is on. If the indicator light is not on, push unit down to make sure charging contacts are touching. (5)

If the receptacle and temperature are OK, and you do not get proper charging, take or send the tool and charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See Tools Electric in yellow pages.

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

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