To select the low speed, high torque setting (position 1), turn the tool off and allow it to stop. Move the speed selector switch (3) towards the back.
To select the high speed, low torque setting (position 2), turn the tool off and allow it to stop. Move the speed selector switch (3) towards the front.
Warning! Do not move the speed selector button with the tool switched on.
Keyless chuck (fig. E)
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
Hold the chuck (1) and rotate it in a counter clockwise direction, as viewed from the chuck end.
Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and tighten securely by rotating the chuck (1) in the clockwise direction.
Warning! Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the chuck and turning the tool on or damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur.
Driving screws
When driving screws, the forward/reverse button (4) should be pushed to the left.
Move the forward/reverse button (4) pushed to the right for removing screws.
Drilling
Use sharp drill bits only.
Support and secure the work properly.
Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the hole is started.
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 on and off in an attempt to start it. Damage to the drill can result. Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure and drilling slowly 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.
With variable speed drills there is no need to centre punch the point to be drilled. Use a slow speed to start the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the hole is deep enough to drill without the bit skipping out. Operate at full speed after starting the bit.
Drilling 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 of the drill.
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 (VPX1222 only)
Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer to the section “Drilling”. Keep an 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
Your Black & Decker tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
Your charger does not require any maintenance apart from regular cleaning.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance on the tool, remove the battery from the tool. Unplug the charger before cleaning it.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool and charger using a soft brush or dry cloth.
Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive or
Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only)
