Refer to Operating Instructions-S witch. • Hold drill firmly to control the twisting action of the drill. If your drill is equipped with a side handle, always use the side handle. AWARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • lead from lead-based paints, • crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and • arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. (CCA) Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce four exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. AWARNING: Drill may stall (if overloaded or improperly used) causing a twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly 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. • Always unplug the drill when attaching or removing accessories. When attaching accessories in the drill chuck, it is important to securely tighten the chuck using all three holes to prevent slippage. When using a keyless chuck, hand tighten firmly. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS MOTOR Your Black & Decker tool is powered by a Black & Decker-built motor. Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your drill will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of power and can result in over-heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply. USE OF EXTENSION CORDS .... ■■■■. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size extension cords with the tool - that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see chart below. r 1 Minimum Gage for Cord Sets Volts Total Length of Cord in Feet 120V 0-25 26-50 51-100 101-150 240V_0-50 51-100 101-200 201-800 Ampere Rating More Not more American Wire Gage Than Than_ 0-6 18 16 16 14 6-10 18 16 14 12 10 - 12 16 16 14 12 12 - 16 14 12 Not Recommended OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AWARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, read, understand and follow all important safety warnings and instructions prior to using tool.

Never unplug the tool with the locking feature engaged. To do so will cause the tool to start immediately the next time it is plugged in. REVERSING With the trigger switch released, slide the reversing switch, (Fig. 2) to align with the arrow pointing forward for drilling or toward the arrow pointing backward for running in reverse. After all reversing operations, switch the tool to the forward running mode. NOTE: WHEN THE REVERSING SWITCH IS IN NEUTRAL THE DRILL WILL NOT OPERATE. DO NOT FORCE TRIGGER. SELECT FORWARD OR REVERSE BEFORE TURNING DRILL ON, CHUCK & KEY Turn chuck key counterclockwise to open chuck jaws, place bit in chuck as far as it will go and then pull it out far enough so that the chuck jaws do not touch the flutes of the bit.
