ENGLISH
Disconnect the plug from the electricity supply
before making or breaking connections to the battery
pack. For the longest battery life, charge the battery
pack in an air temperature of approximately 24°C/
75°F. Do not charge the battery pack if the air
temperature is below 5°C/41°F or above 35°C/95°F.
The charger can remain in the electrical socket
indefinitely without adverse effect. If the battery
pack does not charge correctly, check the supply at
the electrical socket with a lamp or other appliance.
If the electricity supply is satisfactory and your drill
is still not charging, take or send your drill and
charger to your local Black & Decker authorised
repair agent.
FITTING THE DRILL OR SCREWDRIVER BIT
(2 SLEEVE CHUCK)
Make sure the forward/reverse switch is in the
centre (lock-off) position. While holding the rear
section of the chuck, rotate the front section until the
jaws of the chuck are sufficiently open.
Insert the drill bit in the
jaws of the chuck. Hold
the rear section of the
chuck while tightening
the front section.
Tighten the two sections
firmly in opposite directions to securely grip the drill bit.
SINGLE SLEEVE CHUCK (AUTOMATIC SPINDLE LOCK)
Should your drill be fitted with a single sleeve chuck,
you can tighten or loosen the drill bit by firmly
holding your drill with one hand and the chuck with
the other. This will give you 25% more gripping power
on the accessory.
Once the jaws are
unlocked, opening or
closing them can be
easily done by spinning
the chuck around with
one hand whilst holding
the drill bit with the other.
CHANGING THE CHUCK
Make sure the forward/reverse switch is set to the
centre (lock-off) position.
To remove the chuck, open the jaws, hold it firmly in
one hand and with a screwdriver held in the other hand,
turn the set-screw in the chuck clockwise
approximately one turn, to loosen it.
Place an allen key in
the chuck and tighten
the jaws. Give the allen
key a short powerful
blow in an anti-
clockwise direction
with a hammer to
loosen the chuck on the
spindle. Remove the
allen key. Use the screwdriver to turn the set-screw
clockwise until it totally disengages from the spindle.
Remove the chuck from the spindle by rotating it
anti-clockwise. To fasten the chuck, put it on the
thread and turn it clockwise until it stops. Put in the
screw and turn it anti-clockwise until absolutely firm.
HANDY HINTS
• Clamp the workpiece securely.
• When drilling thin material, use a ‘back up’ block
to prevent damage to the workpiece when the drill
breaks through. Just before the tip breaks through
to the opposite side, decrease the pressure on the
drill; this will give a clean hole.
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• When using your drill as a screwdriver, always
use the correct size and type of screwdriver bit.
• When using your drill as a screwdriver, lubricating
the screws can assist in fitting the screw. The
usual lubricants are either soap or washing liquid.
Apply a little to the screw.
• When drilling wood, use twist drill bits.
• When drilling metal, use high speed twist drill bits.
• When drilling ferrous metals, use a lubricant. Iron
and brass are drilled without a lubricant.
• Make an indentation with a centre punch at the centre
of the required hole. This will improve the accuracy.
• Always apply pressure in a straight line with the
drill bit.
TOOL CARE
Do not put excessive pressure on your drill. Use
sufficient pressure to keep your drill/driver biting, but
do not push hard enough to stall the motor. After use,
remove the drill bit, open the chuck jaws fully and tap
the side of the chuck to remove any sawdust.
