WARNING: Important Safety Warnings and Instructions
WARNING:
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE RISK OF INJURY:
• Before any use, be sure everyone using this tool reads and understands all safety instructions
and other information contained in this manual.
• Save these instructions and review frequently prior to use and in instructing others.
General Safety Warnings and Instructions for All Tools
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
• CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't expose power tools to rain. Don't use power tools in
damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks may ignite the fumes.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures. Use extreme caution when drilling, driving, or cutting into
walls, floors, ceilings or other areas or wherever live electrical wires may be contacted, do not touch
any metal parts of the tool. Hold the tools only by the plastic handle to prevent electric shock.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let children and visitors contact tool or extension cord. All children and
visitors should be kept away from work area.
• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or locked-up place–out of
reach of children.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool
for purposes not intended.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES AND OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields, complying with applicable safety standards and, when needed, a face shield. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use a hard hat,
hearing protection, gloves, safety shoes and dust collection systems when specified or required.
• DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands
to operate tool.
• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have
repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired or
otherwise impaired.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
• REPAIRS AND SERVICE. Repairs, maintenance and any adjustments not specified in this manual should be
performed by Black & Decker authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations, always
using identical replacement parts.
• USE OF ACCESSORIES AND ATTACHMENTS. The use of any accessory or attachment not recommended
for use with the tool could be hazardous. Note: Refer to the accessory section of this manual for further
details.

Safety Warnings and Instructions: Charging the Drill
R
1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2)
battery, and (3) product using battery.
3.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Black & Decker Power Packs. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Black & Decker may result in a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed extension
cords should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the
extension is to be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked for outdoor
use can also be used for indoor work. The letters "W" or "WA" on the cord jacket indicate that the cord
is suitable for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to
prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be sure each extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

• Use only the supplied charger when charging your drill. The use of any other charger could damage the
drill or create a hazardous condition.
• Use only one charger when charging.
• Do not attempt to open the charger or the drill. There are no customer serviceable parts inside. Return to
any authorized Black & Decker service center.
• DO NOT incinerate the drill or battery packs even if they are severely damaged or completely worn out.
The batteries can explode in a fire.
• Do not incinerate the batteries. They 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:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in 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.
Safety Warnings and instructions: Drills
• When drilling or driving into walls, floors or wherever live electrical wires may be encountered, DO
NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the plastic handle to prevent
shock.
• Do not lock the tool ON when drilling by hand. Refer to Operating Instructions-Switch.
• Hold drill firmly to control the twisting action of the drill.
• When attaching accessories in the drill chuck, hand tighten the keyless chuck firmly.
WARNING:
Charging the Power Pack
THE BATTERIES IN YOUR POWER PACK ARE NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THEM, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
The drills covered in this instruction manual use the same charger.
The 3 hour charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.
1. Put the switch control lever in the center OFF position (Fig. 1) and remove the power pack from the
tool (Fig. 2).
2. Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volts 60 Hz electrical outlet.
3. Insert the power pack into the charger (Fig. 3) and let it charge for 3 hours.
4. Remove pack from the charger and replace in tool.
Important Charging Notes
1. After normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in
3 hours or less. If the power pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 8 hours to become fully
charged. Your power pack was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before attempting to
use it, it must be charged for at least 3 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the power pack in an air temperature below 40°F or above 105°F. This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the power pack. Longest life and best performance can be
obtained if the power pack is charged when the 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 power pack does 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 power pack to a surrounding air temperature of
40°F to 105°F. (4) If the receptacle and temperature are OK, and you do not get proper charging,
take or send the power pack and charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See "Tools
Electric" in yellow pages.
5. The power pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were
easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use the drill with its power pack in a depleted condi-
tion.
6. To prolong power pack life, avoid leaving the power pack on charge for more than 8 hours. Although
overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall power pack life.
