Fitting The Drill Or Screwdriver Bit; Changing The Chuck; Operating Your Drill; Handy Hints - Black & Decker KC9045 Manual

While charging, your drill may hum and become warm
to the touch; this is normal.
To prolong battery life, avoid leaving your drill on
charge for more than 8 hours. Although overcharging
is not a safety concern, it can reduce the overall life of
the batteries.
The charger can remain in the electrical socket
indefinitely without adverse effect. The charger is
designed to charge the battery only. Do not attempt to
use it to operate your drill. If the batteries do not
charge correctly, check the supply at the electrical
socket with a lamp or other appliance. If the electricity
supply is satisfactory and your drill is still not charging,
take or send your drill and charger to your local
Black & Decker authorised repair agent.
Disconnect the charger from the electricity supply
before disconnecting the charger from your drill.
Under certain conditions, with the charger connected
to the electricity supply and the charger disconnected
from your drill, metallic waste material can short the
exposed charging plug and cause a fire.

Set the lock-off button to the bottom position.

run down completely it
may take up to 8 hours to
become fully charged.
Your drill was sent from
the factory in an
uncharged condition;
before attempting to use
it, it must be charged for
at least 6 hours.
For low speed operation,
depress the switch half

For high speed
operation, depress the
on/off switch fully.

FITTING THE DRILL OR SCREWDRIVER BIT

Turn the chuck key clockwise to tighten the jaws and

CHANGING THE CHUCK

Make sure the forward/reverse switch is set to the
centre (lock-off) position.
correct chuck key. Place the chuck key into the chuck,
and hold the drill firmly in one hand with the chuck
pointing away from you. Rotate the chuck so that the
chuck key is just above the horizontal position on the
right hand side of the machine. Give the crossbar end
of the key a sharp downward blow with a mallet or light
hammer. The chuck should now be sufficiently loose to
be unscrewed by hand. To fasten the chuck, put it on
the thread and turn it clockwise until it stops. Put in the
screw and turn it anti-clockwise until absolutely firm.

HANDY HINTS

• Clamp the workpiece securely.
• When drilling thin material, use a 'back up' block to
prevent damage to the workpiece when the drill
breaks through. Just before the tip breaks through
to the opposite side, decrease the pressure on the
drill; this will give a clean hole.
• Use sharp drill bits only.
