Black & Decker KC460LN Original Instructions Manual page 7

Fail safe isolating transformer. The mains
supply is electrically separated from the
transformer output.
The charger automatically shuts off if the
ambient temperature becomes too high. As
a consequence the charger will be inoper-
able. The unit must be disconnected from
the mains supply and taken to an authorised
service centre for repair.
Electrical safety
Your charger is double insulated; therefore
no earth wire is required. Always check that
the mains voltage corresponds to the volt-
age on the rating plate.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be re-

placed by the manufacturer or an authorised
Black & Decker Service Centre in order to avoid
a hazard.
Warning! Never attempt to replace the charger

unit with a regular mains plug.

Assembly
Fitting and removing a drill bit or a screwdriver
bit (fi g. B)
This tool uses screwdriver bits and drill bits with
a 6.35 mm (1/4") hexagonal shank.
To fi t a bit, insert the bit shaft into the bit holder

(3).
To remove a bit, pull the bit shaft out of the bit

holder (3).
Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not
overload.
Before fi rst use, the battery must be charged for

at least 9 hours.
Charging the battery (fi g. C)
Insert the charger plug (6) into the charger con-

nector (7).
Plug in the charger (5).

Leave the tool connected to the charger for

12 hours.
The charger may hum and become warm while
charging; this is normal and does not indicate
a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient
temperatures below 10 °C or above 40 °C.
Selecting the direction of rotation (fi g. D)
For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward ro-
tation. For loosening screws or removing a jammed
drill bit, use reverse rotation.
To select forward rotation, push the forward/

reverse slider (2) to the forward position.
To select reverse rotation, push the forward/

reverse slider (2) to the rearward position.
To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse slider

into the centre position.
Drilling/screwdriving
Select forward or reverse rotation using the

forward/ reverse slider (2).
To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch (1).

To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch

(1).
LED light
The LED light (4) is activated automatically when the
trigger is depressed. The LED will also illuminate
when the trigger is depressed and the forward/
reverse slider (2) is in the locked off position (central
position).
Hints for optimum use
Screwdriving
Always use the correct type and size of screw-

driver bit.
If screws are diffi cult to tighten, try applying

a small amount of washing liquid or soap as
a lubricant.
Use the spindle lock to loosen very tight screws

or to fi rmly tighten screws.
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in

a straight line with the screw.
When screwing in wood, it is recommended to

drill a pilot hole with a depth equal to the length
of the screw. A pilot hole guides the screw and
prevents splintering or distortion of the wood.
For the optimum size of the pilot hole, refer to
the table below.
When screwing in hardwood, also drill a clear-

ance hole with a depth equal to half the length of
the screw. For the optimum size of the clearance
hole, refer to the table below.
