REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE BATTERY

NOTE: VERSAPAK™ BATTERIES ARE NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY. To install the battery into the tool, slide it into the handle until it clicks into place.

To remove the VersaPak™ battery from the tool, press the release button, (Fig. 3), and pull the battery out of the tool.

NOTE: Battery caps are provided for use when carrying batteries or while battery is stored in a pocket, tool box, etc. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.

SWITCH

To turn the tool ON in a forward direction, press the top section of the rocker switch and the tool will run. To operate in reverse, press the bottom section of the rocker switch and the tool will run. Without depressing the rocker switch the tool is locked and will act as any conventional, non-powered screwdriver.

TORQUE CONTROL

Your screwdriver is equipped with an adjustable clutch control feature. When the tool reaches the preselected torque setting the clutch slips, thus limiting how tightly a screw is driven.

NOTE: The tool’s motor will continue to run as long as the switch button is depressed.

To set the tool’s torque, rotate the adjustable clutch collar (Fig. 3) clockwise or counterclockwise as required. The higher the number, the higher the torque. Each click in a clockwise direction (facing the spindle) means an increase in the torque produced.

TWO POSITION SCREWDRIVER

To convert the tool to an angled screwdriver pull back on the release button shown in Fig. 4 and rotate the top portion of the tool as shown in Figures 5 and 6.

TWO POSITION SCREWDRIVER WARNINGS:

•To avoid being pinched, hold the screwdriver as shown in Figures 5 and 6 when changing positions.

•Do not use screwdriver as a pry bar in either position.

•To avoid screwdriver being turned on accidentally, do not carry in your pocket.

THE RBRC™ SEAL

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.

RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel- cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-BATTERY.
