fordetails.
EXTRA BATTERIES
You can buy an extra battery to increase the run time
of your drill. Only use a Black & Decker battery of the
same voltage as your drill. You may choose a high
capacity battery, which will maximise the run time of
your drill but will also take more time to charge.
TECHNICAL DATA
The level of sound pressure of the tool is in accordance
with EEC legislation. It is recommended that you take
appropriate measures for the protection of your hearing
if the sound level seems uncomfortable. This normally
equates to a sound pressure in excess of 85dB (A).
Note: This user manual also covers catalogue
numbers ending with a letter suffix. Refer to your
carton for details of your product.
FEATURES
1. Forward/reverse and lock-off switch
2. Variable speed trigger switch
3. Battery pack
4. Charger
5. Keyless chuck
6. Torque adjustment collar
7. Gear ratio selector (2 speed units only)
8. Screwdriver bit
The forward/reverse and
lock-off switch controls
the direction of rotation of
the chuck. In the centre
position, it prevents
starting of your drill when
changing accessories or
during storage.
• The variable speed trigger switch is used to
operate your drill in all modes of operation. It also
controls the speed of your drill.
• The torque adjustment collar sets the torque
loading when screwdriving.
• The gear ratio selector enables the setting of the best
speed for screwdriving, or the best speed for drilling.

VARIABLE SPEED
Your drill has a variable
speed trigger switch.
The more the trigger
switch is depressed, the
higher the speed of your
drill. If your drill has a
gear ratio selector, the
change in speed is controlled continuously using the
trigger switch or in two stages using the gear ratio
selector. The maximum speed achieved using the trigger
switch depends on the gear ratio selector setting.
BRAKE
The brake switch stops the rotation of the chuck in
less than 1 second. This feature is useful when
adjusting the seating of screws, and for driving
quickly a large number of screws.
GEAR RATIO SELECTOR
To change the setting of the gear ratio selector,
proceed as follows:
To select the low speed
setting (screwdriving
and high torque
applications), slide the
selector switch to the
front position. The
number ‘1’ appears.
To select the high speed setting (drilling and hammer
drilling), slide the selector switch to the rear position.
The number ‘2’ appears. If necessary, when
changing the gear ratio, depress the trigger switch
sufficiently to rotate the chuck slowly.
Warning! Do not change gear when the chuck is
rotating at other than low speed.
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT COLLAR
To select non-masonry drilling, rotate the collar until
the drill symbol is in line with the indicator on the top
of your drill housing.
The torque adjustment collar has 23 positions and
provides adjustment of the torque necessary to seat
screws of a given size in a particular material.
Proceed as follows:
Set the torque
adjustment collar to
position ‘1’.
Fit and tighten the first
screw. If the clutch of
your drill starts to slip
before the screw is
ENGLISH
correctly seated, rotate the torque adjustment collar,
as necessary, until the clutch slips when the head of
the screw is flush with the surface of the material.
Use this torque setting when fitting the remaining
screws.
FAST CHARGER AND DETACHABLE BATTERY PACK
Yourdrill hasafast chargeranddetachable battery
pack. To increase the availability of your drill you can
purchase an additional battery pack.
Your drill is fitted with a long lasting pack from
Black & Decker which offers 25% more run time than
our standard range.
CHARGING YOUR CORDLESS DRILL
Important! The battery pack in your drill is not
charged when supplied as new. A new battery, or
one which has not been used for an extended period,
achieves full performance only after approximately
5 charging and discharging cycles. Before
attempting to charge your drill, read all the safety
instructions. To charge your drill, proceed as follows:
Put the forward/reverse switch in the centre (lock-
off) position. Remove
all accessories from the
chuck. To remove the
battery pack, depress
the two release buttons
and withdraw the
battery pack. Plug the
charger into a standard
220/240 V socket. Place
the battery pack in the
charger. While
charging, your battery
pack may hum and
become warm to the
touch; this is normal.
After normal usage your power pack should be fully
charged in 3 hours or less. If your power pack is run-
down completely it may take up to 8 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
6 hours.
To prolong your power packs’ life, avoid leaving it on
charge for more than 8 hours. Although
overcharging is not a safety concern, it can reduce
the overall life of your power pack.

8
ENGLISH
Disconnect the plug from the electricity supply
before making or breaking connections to the battery
pack. For the longest battery life, charge the battery
pack in an air temperature of approximately 24°C/
75°F. Do not charge the battery pack if the air
temperature is below 5°C/41°F or above 35°C/95°F.
The charger can remain in the electrical socket
indefinitely without adverse effect. If the battery
pack does not charge correctly, check the supply at
the electrical socket with a lamp or other appliance.
If the electricity supply is satisfactory and your drill
is still not charging, take or send your drill and
charger to your local Black & Decker authorised
repair agent.
FITTING THE DRILL OR SCREWDRIVER BIT
(2 SLEEVE CHUCK)
Make sure the forward/reverse switch is in the
centre (lock-off) position. While holding the rear
section of the chuck, rotate the front section until the
jaws of the chuck are sufficiently open.
Insert the drill bit in the
jaws of the chuck. Hold
the rear section of the
chuck while tightening
the front section.
Tighten the two sections
firmly in opposite directions to securely grip the drill bit.
SINGLE SLEEVE CHUCK (AUTOMATIC SPINDLE LOCK)
Should your drill be fitted with a single sleeve chuck,
you can tighten or loosen the drill bit by firmly
holding your drill with one hand and the chuck with
the other. This will give you 25% more gripping power
on the accessory.
Once the jaws are
unlocked, opening or
closing them can be
easily done by spinning
the chuck around with
one hand whilst holding
the drill bit with the other.
CHANGING THE CHUCK
Make sure the forward/reverse switch is set to the
centre (lock-off) position.
To remove the chuck, open the jaws, hold it firmly in
one hand and with a screwdriver held in the other hand,
turn the set-screw in the chuck clockwise
approximately one turn, to loosen it.
Place an allen key in
the chuck and tighten
the jaws. Give the allen
key a short powerful
blow in an anti-
clockwise direction
with a hammer to
loosen the chuck on the
spindle. Remove the
allen key. Use the screwdriver to turn the set-screw
clockwise until it totally disengages from the spindle.
Remove the chuck from the spindle by rotating it
anti-clockwise. To fasten the chuck, put it on the
thread and turn it clockwise until it stops. Put in the
screw and turn it anti-clockwise until absolutely firm.
HANDY HINTS
• Clamp the workpiece securely.
• When drilling thin material, use a ‘back up’ block
to prevent damage to the workpiece when the drill
breaks through. Just before the tip breaks through
to the opposite side, decrease the pressure on the
drill; this will give a clean hole.
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• When using your drill as a screwdriver, always
use the correct size and type of screwdriver bit.
• When using your drill as a screwdriver, lubricating
the screws can assist in fitting the screw. The
usual lubricants are either soap or washing liquid.
Apply a little to the screw.
• When drilling wood, use twist drill bits.
• When drilling metal, use high speed twist drill bits.
• When drilling ferrous metals, use a lubricant. Iron
and brass are drilled without a lubricant.
• Make an indentation with a centre punch at the centre
of the required hole. This will improve the accuracy.
• Always apply pressure in a straight line with the
drill bit.
TOOL CARE
Do not put excessive pressure on your drill. Use
sufficient pressure to keep your drill/driver biting, but
do not push hard enough to stall the motor. After use,
remove the drill bit, open the chuck jaws fully and tap
the side of the chuck to remove any sawdust.
