GENERAL SAFETY RULES - FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS

WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to follow all

instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases, or dust. 

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from

heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.

Damaged cords may create a fire.

• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be

recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. 

A charger that may be

suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

• Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. 

Use of any

other batteries may create a risk of fire.

PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury,

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your

hair, clothing , and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before

inserting battery pack.

Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery

pack into a tool with the  switch on invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on.

A wrench or a key that

is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 

Proper footing and

balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,

hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable

platform.

Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of

control.

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.

The correct tool will do the

job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.

A tool that cannot be controlled with

the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect battery pack from  tool or place the switch in the locked or off position

before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.

Such

preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. 

Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. 

Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly maintained tools,

with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other

condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on
another tool.

SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. 

Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in

the Maintenance section of this manual.

Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow

Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the

cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Contact with a "live" wire will

also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

When working on a ladder or on scaffolding be sure to lay the tool down on its side
when not in use.

Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but may be easily

knocked over.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and 
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals:  work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. 

Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may

promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause

serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.

Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved

respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and
body.

Charging the Drill

Before attempting to charge your drill, thoroughly read ALL of the safety instructions. To
charge your drill, follow the steps below.

1.  Remove any accessories from the chuck.

2. Plug the output cord of the charger into the socket in the drill handle.

3. Plug the charger into any standard electrical outlet.

4. Allow the tool to remain in this condition for 16 hours.

Important Charging Notes

1. After normal usage, your drill should be fully charged in 16 hours or less. Your drill was

sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before attempting to use it, it must be
charged for at least 16 hours.

2. DO NOT charge the batteries in an air temperature below +40°F or above +105°F. This

is important and will prevent serious damage to the batteries.

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 the receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off 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 drill 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 tool on charge for more than 2 days. Although

overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall battery life.

7. Since the unit is designed for cordless applications, use of the unit while plugged in is

of no benefit. Batteries will still become depleted.

8. Unplug your tool’s charger from the power supply before disconnecting the charger

from the tool. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power sup-
ply, the exposed charging plug 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 plug. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.

Trigger Switch & Reversing Button

The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing the trigger switch shown in Figure 1.
The reversing button, also shown in Figure 1, switches the drill’s direction from forward to
reverse.

Two Speed Operation

Your drill is equipped for two speed drilling. To operate at low speed, squeeze the trigger
switch halfway. This will produce a low speed to be used for driving screws and starting
holes without a centerpunch. Squeezing the trigger switch all the way will produce a high
speed for normal drilling operation.

NOTE:

There is a slight pause between speeds. Keep squeezing the trigger, and the drill will

start again.
