• For screwdriving, set the collar 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. Keyless Chuck Operation To attach accessories, grasp the rear half of the chuck with one hand and use your other hand to rotate the front half in the counterclockwise direction. Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and tighten securely by holding the rear half of the chuck and rotating the front portion in the clockwise direction as viewed from the chuck end. 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 to control its twisting action. • DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED 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 last part of 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. 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 work properly and to hold the drill firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury If you have questions on how to 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 RBRC™ SEAL The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel- cadmium battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in 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 returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY. Accessories Recommended accessories for use with your tool are av...
