Safety Warnings and Instructions: Drills
WARNING: Shock hazard. When drilling or driving into walls, floors or wherever
live electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF
THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the plastic handle(s) to prevent shock.
• Do not lock the tool ON when drilling by hand. Refer to Operating Instructions-Switch.
• Hold drill firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill. If your drill
is equipped with a side handle, always use the side handle.
• WARNING: Drill may stall (if overloaded or improperly used) causing a twist. Always
expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the twisting action and prevent loss of control
which could cause personal injury. If a stall does occur, release the trigger immediately
and determine the reason for the stall before re-starting.
• Always unplug the drill when attaching or removing accessories. When using a keyless
chuck, hand tighten firmly.
Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your
drill will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A
rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC
power. This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of power
and can result in over-heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested; if this tool does
not operate, check the power supply.
Assembly
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, before assembly, make sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged.
Inserting a drill bit or other accessory (fig. A)
WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping
the front part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal
injury may occur when changing accessories.
WARNING: Always ensure the bit is secure before starting the tool. A loose bit
may eject from tool causing possible personal injury.
Keyless chuck
• Open the chuck (6) by grasping the rear half (7) with one hand and use your other hand to
rotate the front sleeve (8) counterclockwise.

Fast Drive Bit Change System
A unique feature of the DR350FD is the ability to remove the chuck quickly and easily. This
allows for a drill bit to be in the keyless chuck, while another accessory such as a
screwdriver bit, can be inserted into the Fast Drive hex shaft at the same time.
To remove the chuck:
1. Grasp the drill and depress the two orange buttons on the chuck collar as shown in
figure B.
2. With the buttons depressed, pull straight out.
To replace the chuck:
1. Push the Fast Drive chuck straight on with a slight twisting motion until you hear it
click into place.
To insert a screwdriver bit into the Fast Drive hex shaft, push the bit in until you hear it click
into place. To remove the bit, hold the drill as shown in figure C. Push in evenly on the
spring loaded disc with two fingers and pull the bit straight out.
Belt clip
WARNING: When using the belt clip (4) to transport the tool, do not leave an
accessory in the chuck.
