Black & Decker 97301 - Manual

IMPORTANT INFORMATION --------------------------
Grounding
Your Drill has a grounding system to protect you from electric shock if
some damage should occur to the wiring of the tool. This system utilizes
the Drill's approved 3-conductor power cord and 3-prong grounding type
attachment plug, which should be used with the proper grounding type
receptacle, in accordance, with the National Electric Code, Canadian
Electrical Code, and Underwriters' Laboratories specifications.

if your unit requires less than 150 volts it has a plug that looks like Fig.
“A". It will fit directly into the proper type of 3-wire grounding receptacle.
The unit is then grounded automatically each time it is plugged in.
Shown in Fig. “B” is a special grounding adapter (not allowed in Canada
by the Canadian Electrical Code) which is available from your dealer and
will permit using a 2-wire receptacle. The green grounding wire extending
from the side of the adapter must be connected to a Permanent Ground.
If the unit requires from 150 to 250 volts, it has a plug like Fig. “C”.
No adapter is available and the plug must be used in the proper 3-wire
grounding receptacle.
We recommend that you NEVER disassemble the tool or try to do any
rewiring in the electrical system. Any such repairs should be performed
only by B&D Service Centers or other qualified service organizations.
Should you be determined to make a repair yourself, remember that the
green colored wire is the “grounding" wire. Never connect this green
wire to a “live" terminal. If you replace the plug on the power cord, be
sure to connect the green wire only to the grounding (longest) prong on
a 3-prong plug.
If you use an extension cord, be sure that it Is a 3-conductor, grounding
type cord. Grounding must be continuous from the tool plug to the
grounded receptacle.
Turn collar to open chuck jaws. Place
bit in chuck so that end rests on
chuck bottom. Tighten chuck collar
by hand. Place chuck key in each of
the three holes, and tighten In clock­
wise direction. It's important to
tighten chuck with all three holes. To
release bit, turn chuck key counter­
clockwise in just one hole, then
loosen chuck by hand.
To remove the chuck from the Drill,
for using a threaded shank accessory
or for chuck replacement, first un­
plug the tool. Open the chuck and
remove screw in bottom of chuck
(left hand thread). Insert the key in
the chuck and tap it sharply in the
direction the tool normally rotates --
see at left. This will loosen the chuck
shank threads and the chuck may be
unscrewed by hand.
Extension Cord
When using this drill at a considerable distance from power source,
a 3-conductor, grounding-type extension cord of adequate size must be
used for safety, and to prevent loss of power and over-heating. For a
120-volt tool, the minimum size of the wires in any extension cord up
to 75 feet long must be 18-gauge (American Wire Gauge). If the total
extension cord length is from 75 to 100 feet, 16-gauge wire is required
throughout the extension. 200-volt tools require a minimum wire size of
only 18-gauge in extension cord lengths up to 200 feet long. (NOTE:
16-gauge wire is heavier than 18-gauge wire and will carry current for
longer distances without a voltage drop.)
P.T.I. Safety Rule #12 applies to Extension Cords as well as the Tool
Power Cord. Before using cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires
and damaged insulation. Make any needed repairs or replacement before
using your power tool.

Self lubricating bearings are used in the tool and periodic relubrication
is not required. However, it is recommended that, at least once a year,
you take or send the tool to a B&D Service Center for a thorough
