Black & Decker Thunder Volt 1801 - Manual (Page 5)

Drilling In Masonry
Use carbide tipped masonry bits at
low speeds. Keep even force on the drill
but not so much that you crack the brittle
materials. A smooth, even flow of dust
indicates the proper drilling rate.
Side Handle
CAUTION: Always use side handle
when provided and hold tool with both
hands.
The side handle clamps to the front
of the gear case as shown in Figure 8
and can be rotated 360 degrees to permit
right or left hand use. Loosen the handle
(counterclockwise) to loosen the clamp
and rotate handle to desired position.
Tighten handle.
Chuck Key Holder
1. Push double-hole end of Holder
through slot in other end of Holder
(Figure 9).
2. Slip loop over electric plug and draw
loop tight around cord (Figure 10).
3. Push ends of Chuck Key Handle
through two holes in end of Holder
(Figure 11).
Chuck Removal
(Figures 12 and 13)
1. Place chuck key in chuck as shown
in Figure 12. Using a wooden mallet
or similar object, strike key sharply
in a CLOCKWISE direction. This
will loosen screw inside chuck.
2. Open chuck jaws fully, insert
screwdriver (or 3/16" hex wrench if
required) into front of chuck
between jaws to engage screw
head. Remove screw by turning
clockwise (left-hand-thread).
3. Place key in chuck as shown in
Figure 13. Using a wooden mallet
or similar object, strike key sharply
in a COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
direction. This will loosen chuck so
that it can be unscrewed by hand.
After selecting the desired range, the
1803 and the 1802 dual speed tools will
operate the same as the standard
variable speed reversing tools.
The Variable Speed Trigger
Switch permits speed control — the far­
ther the trigger is depressed, the higher
the speed of the Drill. NOTE: Use lower
speeds for starting holes without a
center punch, drilling in metal or
plastics, driving screws, drilling
ceramics, or mixing paint. Higher
speeds are better for drilling wood and
composition boards, and for using
abrasive and polishing accessories.
The reversing lever can be used to
shift the tool into reverse for backing out
screws and withdrawing drill bits from
tight holes. To switch the tool from
forward to reverse, turn off the tool and
move the reversing lever shown in Figure
5 to the left, as viewed in the figure.
The reversing lever performs two
functions; it reverses the tool and it locks
the tool off. The center position is "lock-
off” and should be used whenever the
tool is put away or left unattended (refer
to Figure 5).
After any reversing operations, return
the lever to the forward position.
1804 3/8" Scrudrill
The Scrudrill is a combination drill
and screwdriver that you'll find to be a
great time saver.
To use this tool as a drill, rotate the
selector knob shown in figure 6 so that
the pictured drill bit is toward the front of
the tool. Use the drill as you would any
drill.
To select the screwdriving mode,
rotate the selector knob so that the
pictured screw is toward the front of the
tool as shown in the figure. In this mode
the motor will run when the trigger is
squeezed but the chuck will not turn until
you push in on the tool and engage the
clutch. This enables you to locate the
screwdriver bit in the screw without
turning the tool off.
Try a few test screws in scrap
material until you develop a "feel" for the
Scrudrill.
1803 3/8" Hammer Drill
The Hammer Drill is a drill especially
made for drilling holes in masonry where
a slight impacting action is required. The
Hammer Drill, as its name implies, can
also be used as a standard drill.
To operate as a drill, rotate the
selector knob shown in Figure 7 so that
the pictured drill bit is toward the front of
the tool. Operate as you would any
standard drill.
