VARIABLE SPEED
Your drill has a variable
speed trigger switch.
The more the trigger
switch is depressed, the
higher the speed of your
drill. If your drill has a
gear ratio selector, the
change in speed is controlled continuously using the
trigger switch or in two stages using the gear ratio
selector. The maximum speed achieved using the trigger
switch depends on the gear ratio selector setting.
BRAKE
The brake switch stops the rotation of the chuck in
less than 1 second. This feature is useful when
adjusting the seating of screws, and for driving
quickly a large number of screws.
GEAR RATIO SELECTOR
To change the setting of the gear ratio selector,
proceed as follows:
To select the low speed
setting (screwdriving
and high torque
applications), slide the
selector switch to the
front position. The
number ‘1’ appears.
To select the high speed setting (drilling and hammer
drilling), slide the selector switch to the rear position.
The number ‘2’ appears. If necessary, when
changing the gear ratio, depress the trigger switch
sufficiently to rotate the chuck slowly.
Warning!
Do not change gear when the chuck is
rotating at other than low speed.
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT COLLAR
To select non-masonry drilling, rotate the collar until
the drill symbol is in line with the indicator on the top
of your drill housing.
The torque adjustment collar has 23 positions and
provides adjustment of the torque necessary to seat
screws of a given size in a particular material.
Proceed as follows:
Set the torque
adjustment collar to
position ‘1’.
Fit and tighten the first
screw. If the clutch of
your drill starts to slip
before the screw is
ENGLISH
correctly seated, rotate the torque adjustment collar,
as necessary, until the clutch slips when the head of
the screw is flush with the surface of the material.
Use this torque setting when fitting the remaining
screws.
FAST CHARGER AND DETACHABLE BATTERY PACK
Your drill has a fast charger and detachable battery
pack. To increase the availability of your drill you can
purchase an additional battery pack.
Your drill is fitted with a long lasting pack from
Black & Decker which offers 25% more run time than
our standard range.
CHARGING YOUR CORDLESS DRILL
Important!
The battery pack in your drill is not
charged when supplied as new. A new battery, or
one which has not been used for an extended period,
achieves full performance only after approximately
5 charging and discharging cycles. Before
attempting to charge your drill, read all the safety
instructions. To charge your drill, proceed as follows:
Put the forward/reverse switch in the centre (lock-
off) position. Remove
all accessories from the
chuck. To remove the
battery pack, depress
the two release buttons
and withdraw the
battery pack. Plug the
charger into a standard
220/240 V socket. Place
the battery pack in the
charger. While
charging, your battery
pack may hum and
become warm to the
touch; this is normal.
After normal usage your power pack should be fully
charged in 3 hours or less. If your power pack is run-
down completely it may take up to 8 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
6 hours.
To prolong your power packs’ life, avoid leaving it on
charge for more than 8 hours. Although
overcharging is not a safety concern, it can reduce
the overall life of your power pack.
