Operating Instructions
Trigger Switch & Forward/Reverse 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 as depicted in
Figure 3
. 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
This tool is fitted with a collar to select the operating mode and to set the torque for
tightening screws. Large screws and hard workpiece materials require a higher torque
setting than small screws and soft workpiece materials.
•
For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar to the drilling position symbol .
•
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If you do not yet know the appro-
priate setting, proceed as follows:
•
Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
•
Tighten the first screw.
•
If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is achieved, increase the collar setting
and continue tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct setting. Use this
setting for the remaining screws.
Dual Range Gearing - Figure 5
The dual range feature of your drill allows you to shift gears for greater versatility. To select
low speed, high torque setting (position 1), turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter
button away from the chuck. To select the high speed, low torque setting (position 2), turn
tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter button back (towards the chuck).
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.

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 one hand on the grip and the other hand on the bottom of the
battery pack 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.
•
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:
1-800-544-6986.
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
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.
An occasional application of a household oil to the Quick Connect
TM
hex shaft will help
prevent rust.
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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Your charger is designed to use standard 120 volt AC, 60 Hz power. Do not use DC or any
other voltage. Charge time is 90 to 120 minutes depending on battery pack type and condition.
Charging Procedure
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger (Fig.1) .
Be sure the pack is fully
seated in the charger.
The red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the
charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON
continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
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 1A) and pull
out.
Charge Indicators
Replace Pack:
These chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise with battery packs
which would be indicated by the
red light flashing at a fast rate.
If this occurs, re-insert
battery pack. If problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is OK. If
the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a
service center for recycling. If the new battery pack gives the same trouble indication as the
original, have charger tested at an authorized service center.
Wall Mounting (Figure 2)
A hole is provided in the center of the charger for mounting on a vertical surface.
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.
