Charging Procedure, Assembly and Adjustment

Charging Procedure

IMPORTANT: The batteries in your tool are not fully charged at the factory. Before attempting to charge them, thoroughly read all of the safety instructions.

• The charging socket (5) is keyed to lock out other chargers. Align the tab in the charger plug (7) with the key in the charging socket.

• Insert charger plug into the charging socket of the tool as shown in figure B.

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

• Let the tool charge initially for at least 16 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.

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

WARNING: Fire Hazard. When disconnecting the charger from the tool, be sure to unplug the charger from the outlet first, then disconnect the charger cord from the tool.

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 16 hours.

2. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the batteries, NEVER charge them in an air temperature below 40°F (4,5°C) or above 105°F (40,5°C). Also, NEVER charge them if the battery temperature is below 40°F (4,5°C) or above 105°F (40,5°C). Longest life and best performance occurs when batteries are charged with an air temperature of approximately 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 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) Check that the charger plug is fully inserted into the charger port on the tool. (4) If the receptacle is 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. Battery life may be greatly diminished if batteries are discharged deeply. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its batteries in a depleted condition. Recharge discharged batteries promptly.

6. To maximize battery life:

a. Do not fully discharge batteries.

b. Fully recharge batteries after each use. c. Store tool in a location where

the surrounding air temperature is approximately 40°F - 75°F (4.5°C - 24°C). d. Disconnect charger from tool after charge is complete. WARNING: Fire Hazard. When disconnecting the charger from the tool, be sure to unplug the charger from the outlet first, then disconnect the charger cord from the tool.

Safety Warnings and

Instructions: Drilling

WARNING: Tool may stall (if overloaded or improperly used) causing a twist. To reduce the risk of injury always expect the stall. Grip the tool 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.

Assembly and Adjustment

Inserting and removing bits (figure C)

• Before installing or removing bits, move the forward/ reverse slider (1) to the center “lock-off” position as shown in insert.

• To install a bit, insert it into the cavity in the hex spindle as shown in figure C.

• To remove the bit pull it straight out.

• For bit tips, use a bit tip extender as shown. NOTE: Only hex end bits will fit in spindle.

PIVOTING THE TOOL Handle (FIGURES D, E)

• The handle of the tool can be pivoted into three positions for optimum versatility as shown in figure D.

• To pivot the tool handle, press the pivot release button (2) as shown in figure E.

• Release the button in any one of the two remaining locked positions. WARNING: Check to make sure tool handle is locked after pressing pivot release button and changing screwdriver positions.

WARNING:

• To avoid being pinched at the areas indicated with black arrows, hold the screwdriver at both ends and use your thumb to depress the pivot release button when changing positions.
