Drilling In Wood; Drilling In Metal - Black & Decker BDCDE120 Instruction Manual

the chuck (4) in the counterclockwise
direction, as viewed from the chuck end.
2. Insert the bit or other accessory fully
into the chuck, and tighten securely
by holding the handle and rotating the
chuck clockwise as viewed from the
chuck end.
warnInG:
Do not attempt to tighten
drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping
the front part of the chuck and turning the tool
on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury
may occur when changing accessories.
on Board BIT Holder (fIGure G)

Screw drIvInG
For driving fasteners, the reversing button
should be pushed to the left. Use reverse
(button pushed to the right) for removing
fasteners. When moving from forward to
reverse, or vice versa, always release the
trigger switch first.
auToSenSe
This tool is equipped with AUTOSENSE
technology that automatically stops most
screws flush.
• Ensure the forward/reverse button (2)
is pushed to the left and drive mode is
selected (figure e).
• pull the trigger switch (1) to drive a
screw into the workpiece and the tool
will automatically stop when the screw is
flush to the workpiece.
• If a deeper screw is desired, continue to
hold the trigger switch. After a moment
the drill will begin to make short rotations
to drive the screw deeper at a more
controllable pace.
• Once the desired depth is reached,
release the trigger switch.
noTe: Similar to traditional drill/drivers – it is
important to apply firm pressure to the back
of the drill to ensure the screw bit doesn't slip
out of the screw head. If the screw bit does
slip out reinsert the screw bit and increase
your pressure to the back of the tool.
noTe: If the tool stops before the screw
is flush to the work surface, release the
trigger and depress it again to re-activate the
AUTOSENSE Technology.
noTe: AUTOSENSE Technology works
with most material, but may not operate with
certain materials or screws.

• Ensure the forward/reverse button (2)
is pushed to the left and drill mode is
selected (figure e). AUTOsENsE will
be deactivated.
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• support and secure work properly, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety equipment,
as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• secure and maintain work area, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• run the drill very slowly, using light
pressure, until the hole is started enough
to keep the drill bit from slipping out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the
bit. Use enough pressure to keep the bit
biting but not so much as to stall the motor

or deflect the bit.
warnInG:
mode it may stall if overloaded,
causing a sudden twist.
• Hold the drill firmly with two hands to
control its twisting action.
• DO NOT ClICk THE TrIGGEr OF A
STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN
ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO
THE DrIll CAN rEsUlT.
• minimize stalling on breakthrough by
reducing pressure and slowly drilling
through the last part of the hole.
• keep the motor running while pulling
the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help
reduce jamming.
• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.

drIllInG In wood

Holes in wood can be made with the
same twist drill bits used for metal or with
spade bits. These bits should be sharp
and should be pulled out frequently when
drilling to clear chips from the flutes.

drIllInG In MeTal

Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass
which should be drilled dry. The cutting
lubricants that work best are sulfurized
cutting oil or lard oil.
