3. Personal safety  
Intended use  
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common  
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power  
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,  
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while  
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.  
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye  
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,  
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection  
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.  
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in  
the off-position before connecting to power source  
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.  
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or  
energising power tools that have the switch on invites  
accidents.  
Your Black & Decker drill/screwdriver has been designed for  
screwdriving applications and for drilling in wood, metal and  
plastics. This tool is intended for consumer use only.  
Safety instructions  
General power tool safety warnings  
Warning! Read all safety warnings and all  
@
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and  
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,  
fire and/or serious injury.  
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.  
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers  
to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery  
operated (cordless) power tool.  
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning  
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a  
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.  
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at  
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in  
unexpected situations.  
1. Work area safety  
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark  
areas invite accidents.  
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.  
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving  
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught  
in moving parts.  
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,  
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases  
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the  
dust or fumes.  
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust  
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are  
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can  
reduce dust-related hazards.  
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating  
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.  
2. Electrical safety  
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify  
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs  
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs  
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.  
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded  
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and  
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock  
if your body is earthed or grounded.  
4. Power tool use and care  
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power  
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do  
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.  
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it  
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with  
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.  
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the  
battery pack from the power tool before making any  
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power  
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of  
starting the power tool accidentally.  
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and  
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or  
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power  
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or  
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any  
other condition that may affect the power tools  
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired  
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly  
maintained power tools.  
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.  
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of  
electric shock.  
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,  
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away  
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged  
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.  
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an  
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord  
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.  
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is  
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)  
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of  
electric shock.  
4
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained  
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to  
bind and are easier to control.  
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,  
in accordance with these instructions, taking into  
account the working conditions and the work to be  
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different  
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.  
Before drilling into walls, floors or ceilings, check for the  
location of wiring and pipes.  
Avoid touching the tip of a drill bit just after drilling, as it  
may be hot.  
This tool is not intended for use by persons (including  
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental  
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless  
they have been given supervision or instruction  
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible  
for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure  
that they do not play with the appliance.  
The intended use is described in this instruction manual.  
The use of any accessory or attachment or performance  
of any operation with this tool other than those  
recommended in this instruction manual may present a  
risk of personal injury and/or damage to property.  
5. Battery tool use and care  
a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the  
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of  
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with  
another battery pack.  
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated  
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create  
a risk of injury and fire.  
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from  
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,  
nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can  
make a connection from one terminal to another.  
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns  
or a fire.  
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from  
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally  
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,  
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the  
battery may cause irritation or burns.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when  
performing an operation where the cutting accessory  
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting  
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed  
metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.  
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and  
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the  
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and  
may lead to loss of control.

marking (16).  
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting.  
If you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as  
follows:  
Charging the battery  
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever  
it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily  
done before. When charging the battery for the first time, or  
after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80% charge.  
After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will  
attain full capacity. The battery may become warm while  
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
