CAUTION: When drilling into walls, floors, or wherever "live" electrical
wires may be encountered. DO NOT TOUCH THE CHUCK
OR ANY FRONT METAL PARTS OF THE DRILL! Hold the
Drill only by the plastic handle to prevent electric shock
if you should drill into a "live" wire.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
DOUBLE INSULATION
Your Drill is DOUBLE-INSULATED to give you added safety. This means that
it is constructed throughout with TWO separate "layers" of electrical
insulation or one DOUBLE thickness of insulation between you and the
tool's electrical system.
Tools built with this improved insulation system are not intended to be
grounded. As a result, your Drill is equipped with a two-pronged plug
which permits you to use any conventional 120 volt electrical outlet
without concern for maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: DOUBLE-INSULATION does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool. The improved insulation system is
for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.

EXTENSION CORDS
Double insulated tools have 2 wire cords, and can be used with 2 wire or3 wire
extension cords. Only round jacketed extension cords should be used, and
we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the
extension will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any
cord marked as outdoor can also be used for indoor work. (The letters "WA"
on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.)
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire
Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension
contains at least the minimum wire size.
To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the chart below:

Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires,
damaged insulation, and defective fittings. Make any needed repairs or
replace the cord if necessary. Black & Decker has extension cords available
that are U.L. listed for outdoor use.
