CAUTION: When drilling into walls, floors or wherever “live” electrical
wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH THE CHUCK OR ANY FRONT
.METAL PARTS OF THE DRILLI Hold the Drill only by the plastic handle to
prevent electric shock if you drill into a “live” wire.

TOur Drill IS DOUBLE-INSULATED to give you added safety. This weans
that it Is constructed throughout with TWO separate “layers’* of electrical
insulation or one DOUBLE thickness of insulation between you and the
tool's electrical system.
Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded.
As a result, your Drill is equipped with a two-pronged plug which permits
you to use any conventional 120 volt electrical outlet without concern
for maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: DOUBLE-INSULATION does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for added
protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation
failure within the tool. CAUTION: When servicing Double-Insulated Tools,
use ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Replace or repair damaged
cords.
EXTENSION CORD
When using this drill at a considerable distance from power source, an
extension cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent
loss of power and over-heating. For a 120-volt tool, the minimum size of
the wires in any extension cord up to 75 feet long must be 18-gauge
(American Wire Gauge). From 75 to 100 feet, 16-gauge wire is required
throughout the extension. 220-volt tools require a minimum wire size of
only 18-gauge in extension cord lengths up to 100 feet long. (NOTE:
16-gauge wire is heavier than 18-gauge wire and will carry current for
longer distances without a voltage drop.)
Before using pension Cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires
and damaged insulation. Make any needed repairs or replacement before
using your power tool.
CHUCK
- I— V "gtagjStei UNPLUG DRia
Turn collar to open chuck jaws.
I insert bit into chuck as far as it
I chuck collar by
I hand. Place chuck key in each
■ / the three holes, and tighten
clockwise direction. It’s im-
portant to tighten chuck with alt
holes. To release bit, turn
chuck key counterclockwise in
just one hole, then loosen chuck
_ by hand.
To remove the chuck from the Drill, for ^
using a threaded shank accessory or
for chuck replacement, first unplug ttye. js ^ *7W\
tool. Insert the key in the chuck and*
tap It sharply in the direction the tool y
normally rotates—see at right. This will / \
loosen the chuc'k shank threads and ' / —rJy tV
the chuck may be unscrewed by hand. /
tf’e chuck: how¬
ever, a light film of oil can be applied to the outside of the chuck to
prevent any rust from forming.

r.or ,K. no.. . .K.n 4. OPERATION
CARE IN DRILLING
Twist drills af« britti# and will break If enough bending stress Is applied. To a¥Old
^ress on ttie drill bit, try extending your index finger along the side of the drill¬
housing vlth your middle finger on the trigger. Remember — guide the tool, don't
foree It! Should the tool become overheated., run it free of any load at maximum
speed. The drill will «ol faster by running it without load.
DRILLING IN METAL
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass
whHh should be drilled dry. The cutting lubricant that works best is sulphurized
cutting oil. Aluminum Is best drilled with kerosene.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits
may overheat unless pulled out frepuentlv to clear Chios from the flutest For
larger holes, use Power Drill Wood Bits with a shank size that will fit your drllFs
chuck. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a block of wood. Let
up on the pressure Just before the tip cuts through, this will give a good clean hole,
ACCESSORIES

3. operation-
switch
To Start Drill, depress trigger switch: to stop Drill, release trigger. To
lock trigger in “ON" position for continuous operation, depress trigger
and push up locking button (located below the trigger), then gently
release trigger. To release locking mechanism, depress trigger fully, then
release it. Before using the tool (each time) be sure that the lock button
release mechanism is working freely.
Do not lock the switch “ON” when drilling by hand so that you can
instantly release the trigger switch if the bit binds in the hole.
Be sure to release the switch 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 (Nos. 7014 & 7114 Drills only) 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 plastics, driving screws, drilling ceramics, or
mixing paint. Higher speeds are better for drilling wood and composition
boards, and for using abrasive and polishing accessories.
DRILLING
1. 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 material.
4. Center-punch an indentation at the point to be drilled. This will
overcome tendency of bit to slip around on a smooth surface. Place
the tip of bit in indentation and turn motor “ON." NOTE: With the
Variable Speed Drills, holes can be started at low speed without the
need for center punching.
5. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall
motor or deflect bit. To minimize stalling on breaking through the
material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through last part
of hole.
6. Hold drill firmly to control the twisting action of the drill.
7. THE DRILL STALLS if it is being overloaded or improperty used,
RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and

CLEANING & LUBRICATION
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Many household
Cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage the plastic.
Also, do not use ga^line, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry
cleaning fluids or similar products. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool Into a liquid.
Seif lubricating bearings are used in the tool and periodic reiubrication
is not required. However, it is recommended that, once a year, you take
or send the tool to a B&D Service Center for a thorough cleaning,
inspection and lubrication of the gear case.
