Black & Decker MTHD5 Original Instructions Manual page 5

e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Safety Instructions for All Operations
● Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
● Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory or the fastener contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Safety Instructions When Using Long Drill Bits
● Never operate at higher speed than the maximum
speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the
bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without
contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
● Always start drilling at low speed and with the
bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
(Original instructions)
● Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in
personal injury.
Additional Safety Warnings for Drill/ Driver/
Impact drill
● Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
● Accessories and tool may get hot during operation.
Wear gloves when handling them if performing heat
producing applications such as drilling metals.
● Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
● Wear safety goggles or other eye protection.
Hammering and drilling operations cause chips to fly.
Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage.
● Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
● Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
● Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by tool action may be harmful to your
hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion
and limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods.
