Important Charging Notes
1. After normal usage, your tool should be fully charged in 3 to 9 hours. Your tool was
sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before attempting to use it, it must
be charged for at least 9 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the batteries 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
batteries. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if batteries are
charged when air temperature is about 75°F.
3. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem.
4. If the batteries do not charge properly—(1) Check current 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 tool
to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F (4,5 °C) to 105°F (+40,5 °C). (4) If the
receptacle and temperature are OK, and you do not get proper charging, take or
send the tool and charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See Tools
Electric in yellow pages.
5. The tool should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs
which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its
batteries in a depleted condition.
Operating Instructions
Trigger Switch & Forward/Reverse Button - Figure B
•
The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing
the trigger switch (3).
•
The farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed
of the drill.
•
A forward / reverse control button (4) 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 the left.
•
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.
NOTE: Under heavy loads the drill may cut out as a safety precaution. If this
happens, release the trigger switch and squeeze it again to start the drill.
Torque Control - Figure C
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 adjustable torque collar (2) to the
drilling position symbol
•
For screwdriving, set the adjustable torque collar
(2) to the desired setting. If you do not yet know
the appropriate 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 D
The dual range feature (5) 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.
