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 insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a
result, your Drill is equipped with a two-prong plug which permits you to use
extension cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: DOUBLE-INSULATION does not take the place of normal safety precautions
when operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against
injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
CAUTION: When servicing
Double
Insulated
Tools.
USE
ONLY
IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords.
EXTENSION CORD
When using the tool at a considerable distance from power source, an extension
cord of adequate size must be used
for safety,
and to prevent loss of power and
over-heating. Use the table below to determine minimum wire size.
Before using extension cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires and
damaged insulation. Make any needed repairs or replacement before using with
your power tool.

MOTOR
Your Black & Decker tool is powered
by
a B & D-built motor. Be sure your power
supply agrees with the nameplate marking.
Volts 50/60 Hz or "AC only" means your tool must be operated only with alter¬
nating current and
never
with direct current. Volts DC-60Hz or AC/DC means your
tool may be operated with either alternating or direct current.
Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. All
B&D tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
All Reversing Tools have full power and perform as well in REVERSE as they do
in FORWARD.
MOTOR BRUSHES
Your Drill uses the B&D "Checkpoint" brush system. The tool will stop when the
brushes wear out (down to about y16" long). This prevents damage to the motor.
