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 32 clutch
settings in all. These are indicated by numbers depicted on the torque collar. For light duty
work when using small screws, set the collar to the smallest number. Each click in a
clockwise direction means an increase in the torque produced. If the clutch slips on the
lightest setting, turn the clutch collar to a higher number. 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 

The dual range feature of your drill allows you to shift gears for greater versatility. To select
position 1, turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter back (away from chuck).
Position 1 is for driving and removing screws and drilling in non-hammer mode. To select
position 2, turn tool off and permit to stop. Push button forward towards the chuck Position 2
is for drilling with hammer action. 

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.

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.

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.

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: 

1-800-54-HOW-TO (544-6986).

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

When drilling in masonry, turn clutch collar to the hammer icon. 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.

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.

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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE   
ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK FOR YOUR TOOL.

Your charger is designed to use standard 120 volt AC, 60 Hz power. Do not use DC or any 
other voltage. Charge time is 3 to 6 hours depending on battery pack type and condition. 

CHARGING PROCEDURE

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.
2. Insert 1 or 2 batteries into the charger (Figure 1). 

NOTE:

Charge time is the same for multiple batteries. Be sure the battery is fully seat-

ed in the charger. The red “Charging Indicator” light will come on indicating that there
is contact between the battery and charger. The light will stay on as long as the battery
is in the charger and the charger is plugged into a working outlet. It 

WILL NOT

flash,

go out or change to a different color when the charging cycle is complete.
Remove pack from the charger and place in tool. 

NOTE:

To remove the battery from

the tool, press down on the release button on the back of the battery (Figure 2) and
pull out.

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely.
The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged. 

NOTE:

A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the battery

pack has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged before use. A
battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into an
appropriate AC source.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when

the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery
pack in an air temperature below +40°F(+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is
important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a

normal condition, and does not indicate a problem.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly — (1) Check power at receptacle by 

plugging in a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a
light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and
battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 
65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C). (4) If charging problems persist, take or send the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local service center.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it does not produce sufficient power on jobs

which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE use under these conditions.
Follow the charging procedures. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever
you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.

5. Black & Decker battery packs that are labeled “NiMH” should only be used with 

chargers labeled “NiMH“ or “NiCd/NiMH.”

6. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the exposed

charging contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign 
materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or
any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always
unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean.

7. Do not immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
