MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your
tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A rating
of 120 volts AC/DC means that your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This
information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of power and can
result in over-heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate,
check the power supply.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE USE.
Motor Brushes
Black & Decker uses an advanced brush system which automatically stops the drill when the
brushes wear out. This prevents serious damage to the motor.
Switches
To start drill, depress trigger switch; to stop drill, release trigger. To lock trigger in "ON" posi-
tion for continuous operation, depress trigger and push up locking button "A" Figure 1, then
gently release trigger. To release locking mechanism, depress trigger fully, then release it.
Before using the tool (each time) be sure that the locking button release mechanism is work-
ing freely.
Do not lock the switch "ON" when drilling by hand so that you can instantly release the trig-
ger switch if the bit binds in the hole.
The locking button is for use only when the drill is mounted in a drill press stand or otherwise
held stationary.
Be sure to release the locking button before disconnecting the plug from the power supply.
Failure to do so will cause the tool to start immediately the next time it is plugged in. Damage
or injury could result.
THE VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH permits speed control—the farther the trigger
is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill.
NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch, drilling in metal or plas-
tics, driving screws or drilling ceramics. Higher speeds are better for drilling wood and com-
position boards, and for using abrasive and polishing accessories.
THE REVERSING LEVER is used for withdrawing bits from tight holes and removing screws.
It is located above the trigger switch (Figure 2). To reverse the motor, release the trigger
switch FIRST and then push the lever to the right. After any reversing operations, return lever
to forward position.
Operation
DRILLING
1. Always unplug the drill when attaching or changing bits or accessories.
2. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or
hole saws. For METAL, use high speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. For MASONRY,
such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits.
3. Be sure the material to be drilled is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use
a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage to the material.
4. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep drill bit-
ing, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
5. Hold tool firmly to control the twisting action of the drill.
6. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded or improperly used.
RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of
stalling. DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A
STALLED DRILL—THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
7. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease
the bit through the last fractional part of the hole.
8. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help pre-
vent jamming.
9. With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch the point to be drilled. Use a
slow speed to start the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the hole
is deep enough to drill without the bit skipping out.
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;
bacon-grease will also serve the purpose.
Drilling in Wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may over-
heat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. For larger holes, use power
drill wood bits. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a block of wood.
Drilling in Masonry
Use carbide tipped masonry bits at low speeds. Keep even force on the drill but not so much
that you crack the brittle materials. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling
rate.
Bubble Level
Your drill is equipped with a bubble level that assists you in drilling level holes.
For horizontal drilling, tilt the drill up or down as required so that the bubble floats in the cen-
ter of the parallel lines drawn on the glass. When the bubble is centered between the lines,
as shown in Figure 3A, the drill is level.
For vertical drilling, align the drill so that the bubble floats in the center of the bull's-eye, as
shown in Figure 3B.
To assure accuracy, first place a level on your work piece and position it so that it is level.
Then, when the drill reads level, the two will be aligned. (Any bubble level can only indicate
level to the earth's surface).
NOTE: The level is filled with mineral oil that may cause minor skin irritation when contact-
ed. If the level breaks and this fluid gets on your skin, rinse thoroughly with water. If any liq-
uid gets in your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and call a physician immediately.
Keyless Chuck
Your tool features a keyless chuck for greater convenience. To insert a drill bit or other acces-
sory, follow the steps listed below.
1. Unplug the drill.
2. Grasp the rear half of the chuck with one hand and use your other hand to rotate the
front half counterclockwise, as shown in Figure 4. Rotate far enough so that the chuck
opens sufficiently to accept the desired accessory.
FIG. 5
3. Insert the bit or other accessory about 3/4" into the chuck and tighten securely by holding
FIG. 6
the rear half of the chuck and rotating the front portion in the clockwise direction.
To release the accessory, repeat step 2 listed above.
WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front
part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may
result.
Chuck Removal
Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex key (not supplied) of 1/4" or greater
size. Using a soft hammer or piece of wood, strike the longer end in the counterclockwise
direction, as shown in Figure 5.
This will loosen the chuck so that it can be unscrewed by hand.
Chuck Installation
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go. Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of
a 1/4" or larger hex key (not supplied) strike the longer end in the clockwise direction with a
soft hammer, as shown in Figure 6.
Lubrication
When the tool is taken apart for motor brush replacement a small amount of grease should
be added (or redistributed from that remaining in housing) to the gears.
The ball bearings in this tool are lubricated during manufacture and require no lubrication.
Important
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (including
brush inspection and replacement) should be performed by authorized service centers or other
qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.

Importantes mesures de sécurité
AVERTISSEMENT : Afin de réduire les risques d'incendie, de secousses électriques ou de
blessures lorsqu'on utilise des outils électriques, il faut toujours respecter les mesures de
sécurité suivantes.
Double isolation
Les outils à double isolation comportent deux couches distinctes d'isolant électrique ou une
double épaisseur d'isolant qui protègent l'utilisateur contre les risques de blessures
provenant du système électrique de l'outil. Ce système de double isolation élimine le besoin
de mettre les outils à la terre. En effet, l'outil est muni d'une fiche à deux broches, ce qui per-
met d'utiliser une rallonge ordinaire sans avoir à se soucier d'assurer la mise à la terre.
NOTE : La double isolation ne dispense pas des mesures de sécurité normales lors de l'util-
isation de l'outil. Elle vise à procurer une protection supplémentaire contre les blessures que
peut entraîner une défectuosité de l'isolant électrique à l'intérieur de l'outil.
MISE EN GARDE : LORS DE L'ENTRETIEN, N'UTILISER QUE DES PIÈCES DE
RECHANGE IDENTIQUES. Réparer ou remplacer les cordons endommagés.
Fiche polarisée
Afin de réduire les risques de secousses électriques, l'outil est muni d'une fiche polarisée
(une lame plus large que l'autre). Ce genre de fiche n'entre que d'une façon dans une prise
polarisée. Lorsqu'on ne peut insérer la fiche à fond dans la prise, il faut tenter de le faire
après avoir inversé les lames de côté. Si la fiche n'entre toujours pas dans la prise, il faut
