I finaly found a way to register the drill on the internet, I kind of blundered into it, so I got it registered. I don't think I could tell you how I did it. So I got it set up, I couldn't get ahold of any one on the phone either.

Try putting a vise grip on the bit,, and a big vise grip or chanel lock wrench on the key lock..

That should break it free..

Good luck..

not likely most batteries may look similar, but will not fit in the wrong device. Also if it did fit it would burn up your motor quickly. is there a problem with the 18v set-up?

if this is a Black and Decker, go to their website at the name and then .com and in the header area you will find a link on the right side that will allow you to register the tool.

The battery is dead, that is why it does not change from green to red. you need to replace the dead battery.

the charger you need is PS1MVC and you can buy it online from Blackanddecker.com if not look in you local phone book for tools and you might be able to get it from a big box store like Home Depot. Let me know if you need any more help

I have tried 2 different sites for this model with no luck, I would suggest going to Dewaltservicenet.com and under service center locator or service locator typing in your information to locate one close to you so you can talk direct with them Sorry I don't have better information for you.

go to Dewaltservicenet.com and in the middle of the page towards the bottom type in your model number and it will direct you to another page where you should be able to find a manual. If you want to give me the exact model number I will find one but this is where I would go.

I would add 2x4 angle bracing from under the cabinet to the wall, if you plan to put any weight into the cabinets.

Get a large plastic bag and put all the pieces in to it. Shake bag for 10 minutes. Look into bag, has drill reassembled? If not, shake again for 20 minutes. If this fail to reassemble drill, throw bag into land fill, and buy a new drill. Thank you for your support of BD.

I'd suggest calling the Customer Service line who can put you in touch with your local Service Centre or authorised repair agent. These items are classified as spare parts and generally need to be ordered in, dependent on availability - 1800 444 224

There are one-way (non-reversible) and two-way (reversible) drills. Mine is one-way. Methods for chuck removal are different for these two types.
Procedure for one-way (non-reversible) drills:
Drills of this type have no chuck screw, so one have to hold the spindle with a wrench, than to sharply strike the wrench with a hammer to spin it off.
Procedure for two-way (reversible) drills:
Open the chuck up and in the bottom is a screw that holds the chuck on the shaft.The screw turns in a clock wise motion to be removed and then you can top the chuck off the shaft.

I looked at a old schematic for the 5078 and it appears that it might come off after chuck removed. The chuck is threaded and if you have the 2 speed model, shift it to low and put a bent handle allen wrench into the jaws and chuck on workbench or block of wood with long portion at approx 30 degree angle and strike the handle, you will be hitting it counter clockwise to remove.

The battery is either in the charger wrong, or it 'swelled' during charging. Is it hot? Pull hard and it will come out. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/craig_3fa289bf857b1a3c

There is a screw in the bottom of the chuck. It has a standard thread. Clamp the chuck in a vise, find a screw driver that fits as snug as possible, to prevent stripping the screw, remove the screw and pry off the chuck. An impact driver will simplify the removal, if one is available.

Go to www.2helpu.com which is the Black & Decker after sales service site. Most, if not all diagrams are located there, including manuals

What is the brand? How old are the batteries and is the charger working? Give me some more information and I will try and help

If the battery gets warm after being in the charger a while and still is not charged, then the battery is bad
if the battery stays cool in the charger then the charger may be bad
Chargers usually have a light code, I.E. on means charged, slow flashing means charging, and a quick blinking means bad battery
Some chargers have 3 lights and the code should be imprinted on the charger.
hope this was helpful, cb
