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. 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 Y CHARGED ATF U L L T H E
FA C T O RY. 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.
1. Make sure the battery is fitted properly into the drill. Insert the charger plug into the
connector as shown in Figure 1.
2. Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet and let the battery
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. Disconnect the charger from the outlet, then disconnect the charger from the tool.
WARNING: Do not use the tool while it is connected to the charger.
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.
I M P O RTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours. If the power
pack is run-down 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
W I L L N O T 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: Drills
1. Do not lock the tool ON when drilling by hand. Refer to Operating Instructions-Switch.
2. Hold drill firmly to control the twisting action of the drill.
3. 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 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
Switch and Control Button
A forward/reverse control button determines the direction of the tool and also serves as a
lock off button (Fig. A). To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the
forward/reverse control button as shown in Figure A. 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. The first time tool is run after changing direction ofNOTE:
rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Torque Control
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.
Keyless Chuck Operation
To attach accessories, grasp the rear half of the chuck with one hand and use your other
hand to rotate the front half in the counterclockwise direction. Insert the bit or other
accessory fully into the chuck, and tighten securely by holding the rear half of the chuck and
rotating the front portion in the clockwise direction as viewed from the chuck end.
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 to control its twisting action.
• A STDO NOT CLICK TRIGGER OF THE ALLED 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 last
part of 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. 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.
WA R N I N G : It is important to support work properly and to hold the drill firmly to prevent
loss of control which could cause personal injury If you have questions on how to operate
tool, call: 1-800-54-HOW-TO (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 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. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the
proper drilling rate.
