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 charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.
1. Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet.
2. Slide the charger onto the battery pack as shown in Figure 1 and let it charge
initially for 9 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage, your power pack
should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours.
3. Remove pack from the charger and place in product. NOTE: To remove the battery
from the product, press down on the release button on the back of the battery
(Figure 2) and pull out.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours. If the
power pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 6 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 9 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 power pack is 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 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 using product with its
power pack in a depleted condition.
6. To prolong power pack life, avoid leaving the power 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 power pack life.
7. When the battery is inserted into the charger, the red “Charging Indicator” light will
come on indicating that there is contact between the battery and charger. The light
will stay on as long as the battery 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 power 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.
Operating Instructions
TRIGGER SWITCH & REVERSING 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. 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
To set the tool’s torque, rotate the adjustable torque collar as required. There are 23
clutch settings in all. These are indicated by screw icons depicted on the torque collar.
For light duty work when using small screws, set the collar to the smallest screw icon.
Each click in a clockwise direction means an increase in the torque produced. The
highest position is the drill mode and is indicated by a drill bit icon. In this position the
clutch will not operate.
PIVOTING THE DRILL HEAD - FIGURE 5
There are five positions in which the drill head can be pivoted. To pivot the drill head,
push down on the release button shown in figure 5 and rotate the head. Release the
button slightly prior to reaching the desired position. Continue moving the drill head until
it locks into place. The drill head should always be secured into one of the five positions.
QUICK CONNECT
TM
BIT CHANGE SYSTEM (FOR HEX SHANK BITS) - FIGURE 6
To insert a screwdriver bit or other hex shank accessory into the QUICK CONNECT
TM
hex shaft, push the bit in until you hear it click into place. To remove the bit, hold the drill
as shown in figure 6. Push in evenly on the spring loaded collar with two fingers and pull
the bit straight out.
SCREW DRIVING
For driving fasteners, the reversing button should be pushed to the left. Use reverse
(button pushed to the right) for removing fasteners. When moving from forward to
reverse, or vice versa, always release the trigger switch first.
ON BOARD BIT STORAGE
A screwdriver bit storage slot is built-in to the area just above the battery.
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 two hands to control its twisting action.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF ASTALLED 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.
• Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass
which should be drilled dry. The lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil or
lard oil.
• When using twist drill bits to drill holes in wood, it will be necessary to pull the bits out
frequently to clear chips from the flutes.
• 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: 1-800-54-HOW-TO (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.

the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an
environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established
programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel-
cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by
