General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Z_WARNINGt 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 GFC/ 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, jewe//ery 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 per-

formed. 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 bums 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 toot "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 toot at bottom of handle. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

z_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 welt 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.

z_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.

Safety Warnings and Instructions: Charging the Battery Pack

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 pack, and (3) product using battery pack.

3. z_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 toss 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 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

Your drill may use either a jack plug charger or a cup charger, both of which are described

below. Please follow the directions for the type of charger that you have. Chargers are

designed to use standard 120 volt AC, 60 Hz power. Do not use DC or any other voltage.

THE BATTERIES IN YOUR BATTERY PACK ARE NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE

FACTORY. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THEM, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF

THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR JACK PLUG CHARGERS:

1. Place the battery pack into the toot until it "clicks" into place.

2. Insert the charger plug into the connector as shown in figure 1.

3. Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet and let the battery

pack charge initially for 9 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage, your

battery pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours.

4. Disconnect the charger from the outlet, then disconnect the charger from the toot.

z_ WARNING: Do not use the toot while it is connected to the charger.

NOTE: To remove the battery pack from the drill, press down on the release button on

the back of the battery pack (figure 2) and slide out.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUP CHARGERS:

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 3 and let the battery pack

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 pack into the toot until it

"clicks" into place.

NOTE: To remove the battery pack from the drill, press down on the release button 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 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 attempt-

ing 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 propertyi(1) Check current at receptacle by plug-

ging 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 wilt

come on indicating that there is contact between the battery pack and charger. The light

will stay on as tong 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK

NOTE: Make sure your battery pack is fully charged.

To install the battery pack into the toot handle, align the base of the toot with the rails inside

the tool's handle and slide the battery pack firmly into the handle until you hear the lock snap

into place.

To remove the battery pack from the toot, press the battery pack release button (G) and

firmly pull the battery pack out of the toot handle (figure 2).

TRIGGER SWITCH & REVERSING BUTTON - FIGURE 4

The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing the trigger switch (A) shown in

figure 4. The farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill. A

forward/reverse control button (B) determines the direction of the toot 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 toot in the off

position. When changing the position of the control button, be sure the trigger is released.

TORQUE CONTROL - FIGURE 5

Toset the tool's torque, rotate the adjustable torque collar as required. There are 24 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 tightest 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.

KEYLESS CHUCK - FIGURE 6

To insert a drill bit or other accessory:

1. Grasp the chuck collar with one hand and use your other hand to rotate the chuck in the

counterclockwise direction, as viewed from the chuck end.

2. Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and tighten securely by holding the

rear portion of the chuck and rotating the front portion of the chuck in the clockwise

direction as viewed from the chuck end.

z_WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the

front part of the chuck and turning the toot on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury

may occur when changing accessories.

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 A STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON INAN 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 sutphurized 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.

la position d'arr6t avant de relier I'outil _ une source d'alimentation et/ou

d'ins_rer un bloc-piles, de ramasser ou de transporter I'outil. Transporter un outil

electrique alors que le doigt repose sur I'interrupteur ou brancher un outil #lectrique

dont I'interrupteur est a la position de marche risque de provoquer un accident.

d) Retirer toute cld de rdglage ou cld standard avant de ddmarrer I'outil. Une cl#

standard ou une cle de reglage attachee a une pattie pivotante peut causer des blessures.

e) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver son _quilibre en tout temps. Cela permet

de mieux maflriser Ibutil electrique dans les situations impr#vues.

f) S'habiller de mani_re appropride. Ne pas porter de v6tements amples ni de

bijoux. Garder les cheveux, les v_tements et les gants _ I'dcart des pi_ces

mobiles. Les v#tements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de rester

coinc#s dans les pieces mobiles.

g) Si des composants sont fournis pour le raccordement de dispositifs de

depoussi_rage et de ramassage, s'assurer que ceux-ci sont bien raccord_s et

utilisds. L'utilisation d'un dispositif de depoussierage peut reduire les dangers

engendr#s par les poussieres.

4) Utilisation et entretien d'un outil _lectrique

a) Ne pas forcer un outil _lectrique. Utiliser I'outil _lectrique appropri_

I'application. L'outil electrique approprie effectuera un meilleur travail, de fagon plus

sore eta la vitesse pour laquelle il a ete congu.

b) Ne pas utiliser un outil dlectrique dont I'interrupteur est ddfectueux. Tout outil

electrique dont I'interrupteur est defectueux est dangereux et dolt #tre repare.

c) Ddbrancher la fiche du secteur ou le bloc-piles de I'outil dlectrique avant de faire

tout rdglage ou changement d'accessoire, ou avant de ranger I'outil

dlectrique. Ces mesures preventives reduisent les risques de demarrage accidentel

de Ibutil electrique.

d) Ranger les outils dlectriques hors de la portde des enfants, et ne permettre

aucune personne n'dtant pas famili_re avec un outil dlectrique (ou son manuel

d'instruction) d'utiliser ce dernier. Les outils electriques deviennent dangereux

entre les mains d'utilisateurs inexperimentes.

e) Entretenir les outils dlectriques. Vdrifier les pi_ces mobiles pour s'assurer

qu'elles sont bien aligndes et tournent librement, qu'elles sont en bon dtat et ne

sont affectees par aucun trouble susceptible de nuire au bon

fonctionnement de I'outil dlectrique. En cas de dommage, faire rdparer I'outil

dlectrique avant toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup d'accidents sont causes par

des outils electriques mal entretenus.

f) S'assurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguisds et propres. Les outils de coupe

bien entretenus et affOtes sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles

contrSler.

g) Utiliser I'outil _lectrique, les accessoires, les forets, etc. conform_ment aux

pr_sentes directives en tenant compte des conditions de travail et du travail

effectuer. L'utilisation d'un outil electrique pour toute operation autre que celle pour

laquelle il a ete congu est dangereuse.

5) Utilisation et entretien du bloc-piles

a) Ne recharger I'outil qu'au moyen du chargeur pr_cis_ par le fabricant. L'uti/isation

d'un chargeur qui convient a un type de bloc-piles risque de provoquer un incendie s'il

est utilise avec un autre type de bloc-piles.

b) Utiliser les outils _lectriques uniquement avec les blocs-piles conqus _ cet effet.

L'utilisation de tout autre bloc-piles risque de causer des blessures ou un incendie.

c) Lorsque le bloc-piles n'est pas utilisd, le tenir _loign_ des objets m_talliques,

notamment des trombones, de la monnaie, des clds, des clous, des vis, etc., qui

peuvent dtablir une connexion entre les deux bornes. Le coutt-circuit des bornes du

bloc-piles risque de provoquer des etincelles, des br_lures ou un incendie.

d) En cas d'utilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler hors du bloc-piles, _viter tout

contact. Si un contact accidentel se produit, laver _ grande eau. Si le liquide

entre en contact avec les yeux, obtenir des soins m_dicaux. Le liquide qui gicle

hors du bloc-piles peut provoquer des irritations ou des brOlures.

6) Rdparation

a) Faire r_parer I'outil dlectrique par un r_parateur professionnel en n'utilisant que

des pi_ces de rechange identiques. Cela permettra de maintenir une utilisation

securitaire de Ibutil electrique.

REGLES DE SI_CURITI_ SPI_CIFIQUES

• Porter des protecteurs auditifs si une perceuse a percussion est utilis_e. Une

exposition au bruit peut entra'_nerune perte auditive.

• Utiliser les poign_es auxiliaires fournies avec I'outil. Une perte de maitrise de I'outil

peut entrainer des blessures corporelles.

• Saisir I'outil _lectrique par ses surfaces de prises isol_es Iorsque I'outil peut entrer

en contact avec des fils caches ou son cordon. En cas de contact avec un fil sous

tension, tes pieces metalliques de I'outil seront sous tension et l'utilisateur subira des secousses

electriques.

• Lorsqu'on est install_ sur une _chelle ou un _chafaudage pour travailler, on dolt

d_poser I'outil sur le cSt_ Iorsqu'on ne s'en sert plus. Bien que certains outils munis

d'un gros bloc-piles puissent _tre places a la verticale, dans cette position, ils peuvent

facilement _tre renverses.

• Utiliser des brides de fixation ou un autre dispositif de fixation permettant de fixer

solidement et de soutenir la piece sur une plateforme stable. Tenir la piece avec la main
