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 battery 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 battery pack 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 battery pack and charger to your local Black & Decker service
center. See Tools Electric in yellow pages.
5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on
jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its
battery pack in a depleted condition.
6. To prolong battery pack life, avoid leaving the battery pack on charge for extended
periods of time (over 30 days without use). Although overcharging is not a safety
concern, it can significantly reduce overall battery pack life.
7. When the battery pack is inserted into the charger, the red "Charging Indicator" light will
come on indicating that there is contact between the battery pack and charger. The
light will stay on as long as the battery pack is in the charger and the charger is
plugged into a working outlet. It WILL NOT flash, go out or change to a different color
when the charging cycle is complete.
8. The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times during
normal usage. There is no need to run the batteries down completely before recharging.
Normal usage is the best method of discharging and recharging the batteries.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: DRILLS
1. Hold drill firmly with one hand on the grip and the other hand on the bottom of the
battery pack.
2. When attaching accessories in the drill chuck, hand tighten the keyless chuck firmly.
WARNING: Drill may stall (if overloaded or improperly used) causing a twist. Always
expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly with both hands to control the twisting action and
prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. If a stall does occur, release the
trigger immediately and determine the reason for the stall before re-starting.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK
NOTE: Make sure your battery pack is fully charged.
To install the battery pack into the tool align the rails on the battery pack with the slot in
the base of the tool's handle and slide the battery pack firmly into the handle until you
hear the lock snap into place.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the battery pack release button (G) and
firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool handle (figure 2).
TRIGGER SWITCH & REVERSING BUTTON - FIGURE 3
The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing the trigger switch (A) shown in
figure 3. The farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill. A
forward/reverse control button (B) 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 to the right. 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
To set the tool's torque, rotate the adjustable torque collar as required. There are 32 clutch
settings in all. These are indicated by numbers depicted on the torque collar. For light duty
work when using small screws, set the collar to the smallest number. Each click in a
counterclockwise direction means an increase in the torque produced. If the clutch slips
on the lightest setting, turn the clutch collar to a higher number. The highest position is the
drill mode and is indicated by a drill bit icon. In this position the clutch will not operate. This
permits heavy duty drilling.
