Charging the Power Pack

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 sub- jected 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 let- ters "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 loss 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 com- pletely 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.

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

The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.

1.Make sure the battery is fitted into the drill as shown in Figure 1. Insert the charger plug into the connector as shown in Figure 2.

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 tool from the charger. WARNING: Do not use the tool while it is con- nected to the charger.

IMPORTANT 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 con- dition 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.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.Hold drill firmly to control the twisting action of the drill. See Figure 3.

2.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. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the twisting action (see Fig. 3) 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

FITTING AND REMOVING A DRILL BIT OR SCREWDRIVER BIT (FIGURE 4)

WARNING: First remove the battery from the tool.

This tool is equipped with a keyless chuck to allow for easy exchange of bits.

•Lock the tool by setting the forward/reverse slider (2) to the center position.

•Open the chuck by turning the front part (11) with one hand while holding the rear part (12) with the other (Figure 4).

•Insert the bit shank (13) into the chuck.

•Firmly tighten the chuck by turning the front part (11) with one hand while holding the rear part (12) with the other.

SELECTING THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION (FIGURE 5)

A forward/reverse control slider (2) determines the direction of the tool and also serves as a lock off. To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse slider to the left. To select reverse rotation, depress the forward/reverse slider to the right. To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse slider into the center position.

SELECTING THE OPERATING MODE OR TORQUE (FIGURE 6)

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 (3) to the drilling position by aligning the symbol with the marking (15).

•For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If you do not yet know the appropri- ate setting, proceed as follows:

•Set the collar (3) 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.

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.

•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 last part of hole.

•Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled hole This will help reduce jam- ming.

•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 fre- quently to clear chips from the flutes.

•Make sure switch turns drill on and off.

WARNING: 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: 1-800-544-6986.

RÈGLES GÉNÉRALES DE SÉCURITÉ – POUR TOUS LES OUTILS À PILES

AVERTISSEMENT! S'ASSURER DE LIRE ET DE BIEN COMPRENDRE TOUTES LES CONSIGNES. Le non-respect des consignes indiquées ci-après peut causer un choc électrique, un incendie ou des blessures graves.

CONSERVEZ CES DIRECTIVES

ZONE DE TRAVAIL

•Garder la zone de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les établis encombrés et les endroits sombres sont propices aux accidents.

•Ne pas utiliser les outils électriques dans une atmosphère explosive, comme à proximité de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques créent des étincelles qui peuvent enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs environnantes.

•Tenir les visiteurs, les enfants, ou toute autre personne à l’écart lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique. Les distractions peuvent faire perdre la maîtrise de ce dernier.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ : ÉLECTRICITÉ

•Ne pas utiliser le cordon de manière abusive. On ne doit pas transporter l’outil en le tenant par le cordon. On doit tenir le cordon à l’écart des sources de chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants ou des pièces mobiles. Remplacer immédiatement les cordons endommagés, car ces derniers augmentent les risques d’incendie.

•IUn outil à piles intégrées ou à bloc-piles externe doit être rechargé seulement au moyen du chargeur approprié, car un chargeur destiné à une pile particulière pourrait entraîner un risque d’incendie lorsqu’il est utilisé avec une autre.

• N’utiliser l’outil à piles qu’avec le bloc-piles désigné, car l’utilisation d’un autre type de piles pourrait entraîner un risque d’incendie.
