BLACK+DECKER DR501 User manual

Brand: BLACK+DECKER

Model: DR501

Category: Power drills

Type: User manual

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on

another tool.

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could 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 electric 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.

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. 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 disburse 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.

CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions

and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

First Aid Measures for Gel Components (DR220G Only)

If gel within the comfort grip becomes exposed and results in skin contact wash with soap

and water; for eye contact, flush with flowing water. If swallowed, seek medical attention.

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) available from 1-800-544-6986.

SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: DRILLS

• When drilling or driving into walls, floors or wherever live electrical wires may be

encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only

by the plastic handle(s) to prevent shock.

• Do not lock the tool ON when drilling by hand. Refer to Operating Instructions-Switch.

• Hold drill firmly to control the twisting action of the drill. If your drill is equipped with a

side handle, always use the side handle.

General Safety Rules

WARNING: 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

• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully

in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to

install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation

eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply

system.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an

outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged

cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A"

or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

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. A moment 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 clothing, 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 off before plugging in. Carrying tools with

your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or 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 enables 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. Any tool that cannot be controlled with

the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative 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.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

tools, with sharp cutting edges 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 tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced

before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

WARNING: Drill may stall (if overloaded or improperly used) causing a twist. Always 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.

• Always unplug the drill when attaching or removing accessories. When attaching accessories

in the drill chuck, it is important to securely tighten the chuck using all three holes to prevent

slippage. When using a keyless chuck, hand tighten firmly.

MOTOR

Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your

drill will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A rating

of 120 volts AC/DC means that your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This

information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of power and can result

in over-heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate, check

the power supply.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size

extension cords with the tool – that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy

enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop in

line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see chart below.

ASSEMBLY/ADJUSTMENT SET-UP

WARNING: Always unplug drill from power supply before any of the following operations.

SIDE HANDLE (1/2" DRILLS ONLY)

• If your drill is equipped with a side handle, it must be installed properly to control the drill

• Insert bolt into recessed hole with molded hex shape, making sure that hex head is seated

fully to prevent bolt from turning.

• Place circular opening over drill chuck and onto front of drill gear case.

• Place the drill on its side and holding the bolt head with your finger, thread handle onto bolt.

The handle now has a full range of 360 degrees around the drill.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, read, understand and follow all

important safety warnings and instructions prior to using tool.

WARNING: It is important to support the work properly and to hold the drill firmly to prevent

loss of control which could cause personal injury If you have any questions on how to

properly operate tool, call: 1-800-544-6986.

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

part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may

CHUCK & KEY OPERATION (DR501, DR601)

Turn chuck collar to open chuck jaws. Place bit in chuck as far as it will go. Tighten chuck collar

by hand. Place chuck key in each of the three holes, and tighten in clockwise direction (Fig. 2).

Tighten chuck with all three holes to prevent slippage.

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 as viewed from the chuck end shown in

Figure 3. 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.

QUICK CONNECT

BIT CHANGE SYSTEM - (DR211,DR220, DR220G)

A unique feature of the DR211 and DR220 drills is the ability to remove the chuck quickly and

easily. This allows for a drill bit to be in the keyless chuck, while another accessory such as a

screwdriver bit, can be inserted into the Quick Connect

hex shaft at the same time.

To remove the chuck:

1. Grasp the drill and depress the two orange buttons on the chuck collar as shown in

Figure 4.

2. With the buttons depressed, pull straight out.

To replace the chuck:

1. Push the quick connect chuck straight on with a slight twisting motion until you hear it

click into place.

To insert a screwdriver bit into the Quick Connect

hex shaft, push the bit in until you hear it

click into place. To remove the bit, hold the drill as shown in figure 5. Push in evenly on the

spring loaded disc with two fingers and pull the bit straight out.

SWITCH

To turn the drill ON squeeze the trigger switch. The farther the trigger is depressed, the higher

the speed of the drill. To turn the tool OFF release the trigger switch. The drill can be locked

ON (maximum RPM only) for continuous use by squeezing the trigger while pushing in on the

locking button (Fig .1). Hold the locking button in while you release the trigger switch and then

release the locking button. The drill will continue to run. To turn the drill OFF from a locked ON

condition, squeeze and release the trigger.

WARNING: The drill should only be locked ON when it is held stationary in a drill press

stand or other means; NOT BY HAND! Never unplug the tool with the locking feature

engaged. To do so will cause the tool to start immediately the next time it is plugged in.

DRILLING

• Always unplug the drill when attaching or removing accessories. When attaching

accessories in the drill chuck, it is important to securely tighten the chuck using all three

holes to prevent slippage. When using a keyless chuck, hand tighten firmly.

• 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..

• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED 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.

Bacon grease will also serve.

• 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.

• Plug in drill. Make sure switch turns drill on and off.

KEYLESS CHUCK REMOVAL (DR201, DR202, DR211, DR220, DR220G, DR403)

UNPLUG DRILL. Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex key (not supplied) of 1/4"

(6.4mm) or greater size. Using a soft hammer, strike key sharply in a counterclockwise

direction (when viewed from the front of the tool). This will loosen the chuck so that it can be

unscrewed by hand.

KEYED CHUCK REMOVAL

(DR501, DR601)

UNPLUG DRILL. NOTE: Before attempting to remove chuck, shift the drill into the drilling

mode (not hammer, if so equipped).

Place chuck key in any one of the three holes in the chuck. Using a soft hammer, strike the

key in a clockwise direction. This will loosen the torx screw inside the chuck. Open chuck

jaws fully, insert a torx screwdriver into front of chuck between jaws to engage screw head.

Remove screw by turning clockwise (left-hand-thread). Place key in chuck. Using a soft

hammer, strike key sharply in a counterclockwise direction. This will loosen the chuck so that

it can be unscrewed by hand.

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;

bacon grease will also serve the purpose.

HAMMER ACTION (DR403, DR601)

Your drill has hammer action which is engaged by rotating the hammer/drill selector lever on

the top of the unit. To select hammering, turn off the drill and rotate the lever shown in either

Figure 7A or 7B so that the arrow on the lever points to to the hammer symbol on the drill

housing. To select drilling, turn off the drill and rotate the lever so that the arrow on the lever

points to the drill symbol.

DRILLING IN MASONRY (Shift drill into hammer mode as shown in Fig. 7A or 7B)

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.

DR601 ONLY:

CAUTION: Hold drill firmly to control the twisting action of the drill. If your drill is equipped

with a side handle, always use the side handle.

Under some conditions, when removing the drill bit from a masonry workpiece (with the drill

running) while drilling in the hammer mode, the transmission can be temporarily shifted into

the lower speed, higher torque drill mode. To control the unit in this condition, hold the drill

firmly, using both the main handle of the tool and the side handle. The unit is designed to

return to the hammer mode automatically as soon as the drill bit is cleared from the

workpiece; no change of the hammerdrill/drill selector lever position by the user is required.

MAINTENANCE

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;

never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and

adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service

personnel, always using identical replacement parts.
