English - Black & Decker HP9012 Manual

Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur.
When you notice liquid on the battery, proceed as follows:
- Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin
contact.
- In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions
below.
Warning! The battery fluid, a 25-30% solution of potassium
hydroxide, can be harmful. In case of skin contact, immediately
rinse with water. Neutralise with a mild acid such as lemon
juice or vinegar. In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with
clean water for at least 10 minutes. Consult a physician.
Do not incinerate the battery.
Do not attempt to charge damaged batteries.
Chargers
Use your Black & Decker charger only to charge the battery
in the tool with which it was supplied. Other batteries
could burst, causing personal injury and damage.
Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
Have defective cords replaced immediately.
Do not expose the charger to water.
Do not open the charger.
Do not probe the charger.
The charger is intended for indoor use only.
Electrical safety
Your charger is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the mains
voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate. Never attempt to replace the charger unit with
a regular mains plug.

Use
Warning! Before drilling into walls, floors or ceilings,
check for the location of wiring and pipes.
Charging the battery (fig. E)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever
it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before.
When charging the battery for the first time, or after
prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80% charge.
After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will
attain full capacity. The battery may become warm while
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 4 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
To charge the battery (8), remove it from the tool.
Slide the charger receptacle (5) onto the battery as
shown.
Plug in the charger (6).
The battery will become warm while charging. After approx. 3
hours of charging, the battery will be fully charged.
Remove the charger receptacle from the battery.
Adjusting the head (fig. D)
For optimum versatility, the head can be set to different positions.
Press the head adjustment button (4) down.
Swivel the head into the desired position.
Release the button.
Selecting the direction of rotation (fig. F)
For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward (clockwise)
rotation. For loosening screws or removing a jammed drill bit,
use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse
slider (2) to the left.
To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse slider
to the right.
