into an electrical outlet. Keep the switch control
lever in the “Off” position when the tool is not in use
or when changing accessories.
• When drilling or driving screws into walls, floors
etc., check wherever “live” electrical wires may be
encountered.
Do not touch any front metal parts of
the tool!
Hold the tool only by the plastic housing.
•
Do not
store the tool in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed 50˚C (120˚F) (such
as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
•
Do not
incinerate the drill/driver even if it is severely
damaged or completely worn out. The battery pack
can explode in a fire.
• A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may
occur under extreme usage, charging or temperature
conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if
the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your
skin:
• Wash quickly with soap and water.
• Neutralise with a mild acid such as lemon juice
or vinegar.
• If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and
seek immediate medical attention.
(Medical note: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.)
•
Do not
attempt to open the housing of your drill or
charger.
• The supply cord of the charger should not be
replaced by the customer; if the cord is damaged it
should be replaced at an authorised Black & Decker
service repair agent.
• Ensure that the battery pack is correct for the tool.
• Ensure that the outside surface of the battery pack or
tool is clean and dry before plugging into the charger.
• Ensure that the battery is charged using the correct
charger provided with the tool or recommended by
the manufacturer. Incorrect use may result in a risk
of electric shock, overheating or leakage of
corrosive liquid from the battery.
•
Do not
attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.

electrical condition.
