General Safety Rules

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAve All WARNINGS ANd INStRuctIoNS foR futuRe RefeReNce
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WoRk AReA SAfety
a) keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
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.
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.
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 out-
door 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 ground fault circuit
interrupter (GfcI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PeRSoNAl SAfety
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 equip-
ment such as dust mask, nonskid 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 energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
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 bet-
ter control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) dress properly. do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. keep your hair, clothing and

SPecIfIc SAfety RuleS

• Hold power tool by insulated grippng surfaces, when performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
The label on your tool may include the following symbols.
WARNING: 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:
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your 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.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

BAtteRy INStAllAtIoN
The AD600 drill uses four size AA alkaline batteries only.
To install batteries in your tool, remove the battery holder end cap (5) by depressing the two
tabs (7), as shown in Figure B. Pull the battery holder out of the tool, as shown in Figure C,
and observe the battery position instructions printed on the battery holder. (The plus and
minus ends of the batteries are marked with + and - signs.) Note: Some battery manufac-
turers mark only the plus (+) ends of the batteries. In these cases, the unmarked end of the
battery is the (-) end. Install the batteries as indicated and reinstall the cap.
The end cap and battery holder assembly will only fit back into the tool one way. If it does
not seem to fit properly, don't force it. Rotate it one half way around and try it again. When it
is in all the way, ensure that the two tabs snap into place. IMPoRtANt: Incorrectly installed
batteries will reduce the tool's performance or prevent its operation entirely. If your batteries
are fresh and you feel the tool lacks power or doesn't run, double check the battery holder to
see if the batteries are installed properly (+ and - signs aligned as shown.) If proper installation
and fresh batteries do not yield satisfactory performance, take or send the tool to your local
Black & Decker Service Center for a thorough inspection.
Be careful when storing the tool so that the switch is not inadvertently depressed by some
object. This would, of course, deplete the batteries in just a short while.
