Intended use

Your Black & Decker AutoClamp™ has been designed to provide a temporary clamp for holding materials during various home improvement projects, such as painting, sanding and cutting applications, gluing tasks and woodworking. It is intended for consumer use only.

General safety rules

Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Work area

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Make sure that the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, make sure that these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

ENGLISH

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will make sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Addition safety instructions for the AutoClamp™

Do not use for load bearing applications. The tool is not designed for supporting loads. Failure of the tool under load may cause personal injury or damage to property.

Do not use for any application where the tool is supporting the body weight of the operator, assistant or visitor. Failure of the tool under load may cause personal injury or damage to property.

Do not drop the tool or subject it to impact during use.

Damaged tools may cause accidents or result in a hazardous situation.

Do not clamp materials overhead. Falling materials may cause personal injury or damage to property. When relieving the clamping force, the material may be free to shift. Always control the material movement.

Do not use to clamp materials subject to heat or flame.

Damage to the tool may result from the application of heat or flames, e.g. when using a heat-gun to remove paint from the clamped material.

Do not use for clamping over extended periods of time. The tool may be used for temporary fixings only. Materials may compress or creep over time reducing the clamp force and allowing movement.

Clamped materials may move unexpectedly. Unexpected movement of the work piece may cause personal injury.

Movement may occur when applying side loads to clamped materials, e.g. when cutting with a jigsaw. Use additional fixings to prevent movement.

Do not use clamp to lift materials. The clamp is not designed for this purpose and the materials may fall from the jaws.

The following safety symbols are marked on the product:

Read the instruction manual before use.

Keep hands clear of clamping area.

Do not clamp materials overhead.

Additional safety instructions for non-rechargeable batteries

Warning! Batteries can explode, or leak, and can

cause injury or fire. To reduce this risk:

◆ Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.
◆ Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -), marked on the battery and the equipment.
◆ Do not short battery terminals.
- Do not charge batteries.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same brand and type.
◆ Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
◆ Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.
Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the batteries, proceed as follows:
- Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.

- The screw foot (5) and

- The frame foot (6).

◆ Press the quick slide button (1) and allow the screw foot to contact the material being clamped.

Open/close switch (fig. C)

Use the open/close switch (7) to apply and release the clamping force.

- To apply a clamping force, advance the screw (4) in a closing direction by pressing the switch in the closing direction.

◆ To stop the screw (4) advancement, release the switch.

Note: To achieve maximum auto clamping, keep the switch pressed until the tool stops running. When the tool stops running, immediately release the switch. Keeping the switch pressed after the tool stops running will not further increase the clamping force and may cause damage to the tool and may shorten the life of the battery. Always be certain that the material is clamped securely.

◆ To relieve the clamping force, press the switch in the opening direction.

Note: Always use the open/close switch (7) to release the clamping force. After reversing the screw and releasing the clamping force, use the quick slide button (1) and manually move the screw up. The quick slide button will not work unless pressure is released first.

Note: If the batteries fail, see using the AutoClamp™ in manual mode.

Using the AutoClamp™ in manual mode (fig. D)

An additional clamping force can be applied manually, if needed:

◆ Use the open/close switch (7) to apply a clamping force to the material.
◆ After releasing the close switch, insert the supplied screwdriver (3) into the recess (2) as shown.
- Turn the screwdriver (3) in a clockwise direction to apply additional clamping force.

To relieve the clamping force after manual clamping, insert the screwdriver (3) and turn in an anti-clockwise direction.

Warning! Do not apply leverage to the supplied screwdriver in the form of a pipe or other object to increase clamping force. Do not use any other tool than the one supplied. Personal injury and/or damage to the tool could result.

Hints for optimum use

Select the position of clamping to limit stress on the components being clamped.

Soft or brittle materials may be damaged by the clamping force. Use scrap materials to test before use. Use packing pieces to spread the force applied.

Do not clamp pipes or hollow sections that may deform under the clamping pressure.

Before applying clamping pressure, make sure that the clamp is at 90 degrees to the workpiece.

Maintenance

• Your Black & Decker 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.
  ◆ Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.
  ◆ Clean debris from the screw (4) using a brush. Do not lubricate.
