diameter holes in wood.
• Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.
• Use masonry bits when drilling in soft
masonry.
• Use a lubricant when drilling metals other
than cast iron and brass.
• Make an indentation using a centre punch
at the centre of the hole to be drilled in
order to improve accuracy.
Screwdriving
• Always use the correct type and size of
screwdriver bit.
• If screws are difficult to tighten, try
applying a small amount of washing liquid
or soap as a lubricant.
• Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit
in a straight line with the screw.
Maintenance
Your BLACK+DECKER tool has been
designed to operate over a long period of
time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends
upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
Your charger does not require any
maintenance apart from regular cleaning.
Warning! Before performing any
maintenance on the tool, remove the battery
from the tool. Unplug the charger before
cleaning it.
• Regularly clean the ventilation slots in
your tool and charger using a soft brush
or dry cloth.
• Regularly clean the motor housing using
a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive or
solvent-based cleaner.
• Regularly open the chuck and tap it to
remove any dust from the interior.
Batteries
BLACK+DECKER batteries can be
recharged many times. At the end of
their useful life, discard batteries with
due care for our environment:
Selecting the operating mode or torque
(fig. G)
This tool is fitted with a collar to select the
operating mode and to set the torque for
tightening screws. Large screws and hard
workpiece materials require a higher torque
setting than small screws and soft
workpiece materials. The collar has a wide
range of settings to suit your application.
• For drilling in wood, metal and plastics,
set the collar (3) to the drilling position
by aligning the symbol with the
marking (16).
• For screwdriving, set the collar to the
desired setting. If you do not yet know
the appropriate setting, proceed as
follows:
- Set the collar (3) 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.
Switching on and off
Variable speed switch
• To switch the tool on, press the variable
speed switch (1). The tool speed depends
on how far you press the switch.
• To switch the tool off, release the
variable speed switch.
Hints for optimum use
Drilling
• Always apply a light pressure in a
straight line with the drill bit.
• Just before the drill tip breaks through
the other side of the workpiece, decrease
pressure on the tool.
• Use a block of wood to back up
workpieces that may splinter.
• Use spade bits when drilling large
