105°F. (4) If the receptacle and temperature are OK, and you do not get proper charging, take or send
the power pack and charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See "Tools Electric" in yellow
pages.
5. The power pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easi-
ly done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using drill with its power pack in a depleted condition.
6. To prolong power pack life, avoid leaving the power pack on charge for more than 8 hours. Although
overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall power pack life.
7.
When the battery is inserted into the charger, the red “Charging Indicator” light will come on indicating
that there is contact between the battery and charger. The light will stay on as long as the battery is in the
charger and the charger is plugged into a working outlet. It WILL NOT flash, go out or change to a
different color when the charging cycle is complete.
Safety Warnings and Instructions: Drills
1. Do not lock the tool ON when drilling by hand. Refer to Operating Instructions-Switch.
2. Hold drill firmly to control the twisting action of the drill. See figure 2.
3. When attaching accessories in the drill chuck, hand tighten the keyless chuck firmly
WARNING:
Drill may stall (if overloaded or improperly used) causing a twist. Always expect the
stall.Grip the drill firmly to control the twisting action (see Fig.2) and prevent loss of control which could cause
personal injury. If a stall does occur, release the trigger immediately and determine the reason for the stall

Operating Instructions
Switch and Control Button
A forward/reverse control button determines the direction of the tool and also serves as a lock off button (Fig.
1). To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse control button as
shown in Figure 1. To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control button the opposite direction. The
center position of the control button locks the tool in the off position. When changing the position of the control
button, be sure the trigger is released. NOTE: The first time tool is run after changing direction of rotation, you
may hear a click on start up. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Torque Control
To set the tool’s torque, rotate the adjustable torque collar clockwise as required. 24 positions are marked
around the collar and the higher the number, the higher the torque. Each click in a clockwise direction means
an increase in the torque produced. Position 24 is the drill mode and is marked with the picture of a drill bit.
In this position the clutch will not operate. This permits heavy duty drilling / driving screws.
Warning:
To control twisting action, place both hands on drill as shown in Fig. 2.
Dual Range Gearing
Catalog Numbers (CD632, HP532, HP932, FS1320, FS1442, FS1802) - The dual range feature of your Drill
allows you to shift gears for greater versatility. To select low speed, high torque setting (position 1), turn tool off
and permit to stop. Push button forward towards the chuck. To select the high speed, low torque setting
(position 2), turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter back (away from chuck). NOTE: Do not change
gears when tool is running. If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual range gear
button is either completely pushed forward or completely pushed back.

Drilling
•
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.
•
Hold the drill firmly to control its twisting action.
•
DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAM-
AGE TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
•
Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure and slowly drilling through last part of hole.
•
Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled hole This will help reduce jamming.
•
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be
drilled dry. Lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil or lard oil.
•
When using twist drill bits to drill holes in wood, it will be necessary to pull the bits out frequently to clear
chips from the flutes.
•
Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
