Troubleshooting; Accessories Warning - Black & Decker MATRIX BDCMTHD Instruction Manual

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.
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 with two hands, one hand on the handle, and the other
gripping the bottom around the battery area.
• 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.
DRILLING IN MASONRy
Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer to Drilling section. Keep even force on the drill but not so
much that you crack the brittle material. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
