HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE

Screwdriving
Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small
amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
Use the spindle lock to loosen very tight screws or to
firmly tighten screws.
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line
with the screw.
When screwing in wood, it is recommended to drill a pilot
hole with a depth equal to the length of the screw. A pilot
hole guides the screw and prevents splintering or
distortion of the wood. For the optimum size of the pilot
hole, refer to the table below.
When screwing in hardwood, also drill a clearance hole
with a depth equal to half the length of the screw. For the
optimum size of the clearance hole, refer to the table below.
Screw size Pilot hole ø
(softwood)
Nº 6 (3,5 mm) 2,0 mm
Nº 8 (4 mm) 2,5 mm
Nº 10 (5 mm) 3,0 mm
Drilling
Always apply a light pressure in a straight line with the
drill bit.
Just before the drill tip breaks through the other side of
the workpiece, decrease pressure on the tool.
Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that may
splinter.
Make an indentation using a centre punch at the centre of
the hole to be drilled in order to improve accuracy.

MAINTENANCE

Your Black & Decker corded/cordless appliance/tool has been
designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum
of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends
upon proper tool care and regular cleaning. Your charger does
not require any maintenance apart from regular cleaning.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance on the tool,
switch off and unplug the tool or remove the battery from the
tool if the tool has separate battery. If the battery is integral,
run the battery completely down. Unplug the charger before
cleaning it.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool and
charger using a soft brush or dry cloth.
Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth.
Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.
Regularly open the chuck and tap it to remove any dust
from the interior (when fitted).

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Separate collection. This product must not be
disposed of with normal household waste. Should
you find one day that your Black & Decker product
needs replacement, or if it is of no further use to you,
do not dispose of it with household waste. Make this
product available for separate collection.
Separate collection of used products and packaging
allows materials to be recycled and used again.
Re-use of recycled materials helps prevent
environmental pollution and reduces the demand for
raw materials. Local regulations may provide for
separate collection of electrical products from the
household, at municipal waste sites or by the retailer
when you purchase a new product.
Batteries
At the end of their useful life, discard batteries with
due care for our environment:
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.
Do not dispose of the battery(s) in a fire as this may result
in a risk of personal injury or an explosion.
Run the battery down completely, then remove it from the
tool.
Batteries are recyclable. Place the battery(s) in a suitable
packaging to ensure that the terminals cannot be
short-circuited. Take them to any authorised repair agent
or a local recycling station.
