when you turn out the lights.
(3)Move charger and drill 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 tool and charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See "Tools Electric"’ in yellow pages.
5.The battery should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on the jobs which previously were done easily. DO NOT CONTINUE to use the drill with its battery in a depleted condition.
6.To prolong battery life, avoid leaving the battery on charge for more than 2 days. Although overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall battery life.
7.Unplug your tool’s battery charger from the power supply before disconnecting the charger from the battery. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the exposed charging base can be shorted by foreign material and may create a fire hazard. Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any build up of metallic particles should be kept away from the charging base. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
8.Do not use an inverter or generator to supply power to the charger.
Operating Instructions
TRIGGER SWITCH & REVERSING BUTTON - FIGURE 3
The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing the trigger switch shown in Figure 3. The farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill. A forward/reverse control button determines the direction of the tool and also serves as a lock off button. To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse control button. 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.
TORQUE CONTROL - FIGURE 4
To set the tool’s torque, rotate the adjustable torque collar as required. There are 36 clutch settings in all. These are indicated by screw icons depicted on the torque collar. For light duty work when using small screws, set the collar to the smallest screw icon. Each click in a clockwise direction means an increase in the torque produced. 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.
DUAL RANGE GEARING - FIGURE 5 (FSD142K AND FSD182K ONLY)
The dual range feature of your drill allows you to shift gears for greater versatility. To select low speed, high torque setting (position 1), turn tool off and permit to stop. Push button forward towards the chuck. To select the high speed, low torque setting (position 2), turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter back (away from chuck). NOTE: Do not change gears when tool is running. If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual range gear button is either completely pushed forward or completely pushed back.
LEVEL - FIGURE 6
A unique leveling feature is
KEYLESS CHUCK
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
1.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.
2.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.
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 occur when changing accessories.
QUICK CONNECTTM BIT CHANGE SYSTEM- FIGURE 7
Another unique feature of your drill 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 ConnectTM 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 7.
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 ConnectTM hex shaft, push the bit in until you hear it click into place. To remove the bit, hold the drill as shown in figure 8. Push in evenly on the spring loaded disc with two fingers and pull the bit straight out.
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.
ON BOARD BIT STORAGE
A magnetic bit storage slot is 
CAUTION: When the battery is removed, the
magnet is exposed in the cavity and can attract small metal objects if the drill is placed directly over them.
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 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.
•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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
An occasional application of a household oil to the Quick ConnectTM hex shaft will help prevent rust.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
