General Safety Rules – For All Battery
Operated Tools
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite acci-
dents.
• 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.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suit-
able for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
• Use battery operated tool only with the specifically designed battery pack. Use of any
other batteries may create a risk of fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury,
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a
tool with the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• 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 a loss
of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer and the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such pre-
ventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
sparks, burns, or a fire.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for Rotary Hammers
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
• Wear ear protectors when hammering for extented periods of time. Temporary hearing loss or serious ear drum damage may result from high sound levels generated by hammer drilling.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering and drilling operations cause
chips to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage.
• Always use the side handle supplied with the tool. Keep a firm grip on the tool at all
times. Do not attempt to operate this tool without holding it with both hands.
• Hammer bits and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves when touching them.
• CAUTION:DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL when drilling or driving
into walls, floors or wherever live electrical wires may be encountered! Hold the tool only by
insulated grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if you drill or drive into a live wire.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate dust containing chemicals known to cause can-
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Use appropriate respiratory protection.

Additional Specific Safety Instructions When Using
DW0247 AC Adapter (Fig. 4)
• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for
the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. Applicable only to
Class II (double insulated) tools.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W.”
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

FOR FUTURE USE
Battery Packs
Your tool uses a 24.0 Volt D
EWALT battery pack. When ordering replacement battery packs,
be sure to include catalog number and voltage.
CAUTION: The batteries in your battery pack are the nickel–cadmium type. Cadmium is
considered to be a toxic material by the Environmental Protection Agency. Before disposing
of damaged or worn out Nickel–Cadmium battery packs, check with your state Environmental
Protection Agency to find out about special restrictions on the disposal of these battery packs
or return them to a D
EWALT certified service center for recycling.
HOT PACK /COLD PACK DELAY
If your charger has a Hot Pack Delay feature, when it detects a battery that is hot or excessively
cold, it automatically starts a Hot Pack /Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery
has stabilized. The charger will automatically switch to the Pack Charging mode. This feature
ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the Hot Pack Delay
mode.
Using Tune-Up™ Mode
The Tune-up™ mode will equalize or balance the individual cells in the battery pack at its peak
capacity. This cycle takes up to 8 hours to complete. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly
or after 10 to 20 charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no longer delivers the same
amount of work.
1. To tune up your battery pack, place the battery in the charger as usual. The red light will blink
continuously indicating that the charge cycle has started.
2. The Tune-up™ Button may be pressed at any time after the charge has started. The red light
will stop blinking momentarily, blink quickly 3 times, and then resume blinking continuously.
The charger is now giving your batteries a tune-up.
3. When the charge cycle has completed, the light will stay on continuously. The pack is fully
charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
4. If you select Tune-up™ and then change your mind, remove the battery from the charger.
After 5 seconds, insert the battery into the charger. The normal charge cycle will commence.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. 1)
NOTE: Make sure your battery pack is fully charged. To install the battery pack into the tool,
set the lock off button to disable the trigger switch, align the front of the battery with the notches inside the tool’s body and slide the battery pack firmly into place until you hear the lock
snap into place.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, depress release buttons (B) on both sides,
remove the battery pack (C). Insert it into the charger as described in the charger manual.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the
air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack
in an air temperature below +40°F(+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important

and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal
condition, and does not indicate a problem.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly — (1) Check current at receptacle by plugging
in a lamp or other appliance, (2) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch
which turns power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and battery pack to a
location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C).
(4) If charging problems persist, take or send the tool, battery pack and charger to your
local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs
which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions.
Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the exposed
charging contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials
of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup
of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Don't allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result. To
facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack
in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
CAUTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
IMPORTANT: This product is not user servicable. There are no user servicable parts inside
the charger. Servicing at an authorized service center is required to avoid damage to static
sensitive internal components.
READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE BATTERY CHARGER MANUAL BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK FOR YOUR TOOL.
Always use correct battery pack (pack supplied with tool or replacement pack exactly like it.)
Never install any other battery pack. It will ruin your tool and may create a hazardous condition.
Additional Safety Rules for Rotary Hammers
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
• 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 hammering for extented periods of time. Temporary hearing loss or serious ear drum damage may result from high sound levels generated by hammer drilling.
• Always use the side handle supplied with the tool. Keep a firm grip on the tool at all
times. Do not attempt to operate this tool without holding it with both hands.
• Do not overreach while operating the tool. Maintain a balanced working stance at all
times. When necessary, use only properly postioned, safe, platforms and scaffolding.
WORK SAFE.
• Hammer bits and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves when touching them.
• caution:DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL when drilling or driving
into walls, floors or wherever live electrical wires may be encountered! Hold the tool only by
insulated grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if you drill or drive into a live wire.
Motor
Your DEWALT tool is powered by a DEWALT-built motor. Be sure your power supply agrees
with the nameplate markings.
Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. All D

WALT
tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check your battery pack.
Side Handle (Fig. 1-A)
CAUTION: Always use side handle and hold rotary hammer with both hands. It clamps to
the front of the gear case as shown in Figure 1 and can be rotated 360˚ to permit right or left
hand use.
Variable Speed Switch (Fig. 2-A)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch. To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch.
Your tool is equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop as soon as the trigger switch is fully
released.
The variable speed switch enables you to select the best speed for a particular application.
The farther you squeeze the trigger, the faster the tool will operate. Use lower speeds for starting holes without a centerpunch, drilling in metals or plastics, driving screws and drilling
ceramics. For maximum tool life, use variable speed only for starting holes or fasteners.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may damage the
switch and should be avoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (2-B)
A forward/reverse control button determines the direction and also serves as a lock off button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse control
button on the right side of the tool.To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control button on the left side of the tool. The center position of the control button locks the tool in the off
position. When changing the position of the control button, be sure the trigger is released.
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the direction of rotation, you may hear a
click on start up. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Hammer/Drill Selector (Fig. 3)
To switch the tool from the drilling mode to the hammering mode (or vice-versa) rotate the dial
on the applicable symbol shown. For straight drilling, align the dial with the drill bit symbol (B) as
shown. For hammering, align the dial with the hammer symbol (A). NOTE: The selector must be
in either drill, or hammer/drill mode at all times. There are no operable positions between the
two.
Operation
DRILLING
1. Always lock the trigger switch and remove the battery when attaching or changing bits or
accessories.
2. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use the low speed setting and twist drill bits, spade bits,
power auger bits, or hole saws. For METAL, use the low speed setting and steel twist drill bits
or hole saws. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped
bits rated for percussion drilling.
3. Be sure the material to be drilled is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a
wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to the material.
4. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep drill biting,
but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
5. Hold tool firmly to control the twisting action of the drill.
6. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded or improperly used.
RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of
stalling. DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED
DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
7. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the
bit through the last fractional part of the hole.
8. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent
jamming.
A
B
9. With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch the point to be drilled. Use a slow
speed to start the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the hole is deep
enough to drill without the bit skipping out.
DRILLING IN METAL
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool.
A smooth even flow of metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant when
drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
NOTE: Large (5/16” to 1/2”) holes in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32” to 3/16”)
is drilled first.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the
tool. Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may
overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a block of wood.
DRILLING IN MASONRY
When drilling in masonry, use carbide tipped bits rated for percussion drilling. Be certain that
the bit is sharp. Ensure that the hammer mode is selected. Use a constant and firm force on
the tool to drill most effectively. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
SDS Chuck (Fig. 5)
To insert bit, insert shank of bit about 3/4” into chuck and twist the bit until it clicks into place.
The bit will be securely held.
To release bit, pull the collar back and remove the bit.
Maintenance
CLEANING
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
Self-lubricating bearings are used in the tool and periodic relubrication is not required. In the
unlikely event that service is ever needed, take your tool to an authorized service location.
Lubrication
Your tool was properly lubricated before leaving the factory. In from two to six months, depending upon
use, take or send your tool to a Service Center, or authorized service station, for a complete cleaning,
inspection and lubrication. Tools used constantly on production jobs will need relubrication more often.
Also, tools “out of service” for long periods should be relubricated before being put back to work.
Accessories
Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your
distributor or local service center.
CAUTION: The use of any non-recommended accessory may be hazardous.
