Frequently Asked Questions - BDCH188 BLACK & DECKER
How to change the drill bit or screwdriver bit?
Set the forward/reverse button to the center to lock the tool. Open the keyless chuck by turning the front part while holding the rear part. Insert the bit shaft, then tighten the chuck firmly.
How to charge the battery?
Insert the battery into the charger aligning it properly. Plug the charger into the mains. The indicator blinks during charging and stays on when charging is complete. Charging takes 1 to 5 hours depending on the battery model.
Which mode to choose for drilling wood?
Set the collar to the drilling position (drill symbol). Use second gear (selector forward) for wood. Apply light and straight pressure.
How to drill into masonry?
Set the collar to the hammer drilling position (hammer symbol). Switch to second gear. Use a carbide-tipped drill bit. Wear hearing protection as noise is high.
What to do if the battery does not charge?
Check that the ambient temperature is between 10°C and 40°C. If the battery is too hot or too cold, the charger will wait until it reaches the correct temperature. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.
How to reverse the rotation direction?
Use the forward/reverse button located above the trigger. Push it to the left for forward rotation (clockwise) and to the right for reverse rotation (counterclockwise). Set it to the center to lock the tool.
What torque setting to use for screwdriving?
Start with the lowest setting on the collar. Drive a test screw. If the clutch disengages too early, gradually increase the setting until you achieve the desired tightening.
How to clean the tool?
Remove the battery before any cleaning. Use a soft brush to clean the ventilation slots. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive or solvent-based products.
What is the warranty on the device?
Black & Decker offers a 24-month warranty from the date of purchase against defects in materials or workmanship. Keep the proof of purchase. The warranty does not cover commercial use, neglect, or unauthorized repairs.
