standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be
used to compare one tool with another. It may be
used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The declared vibration

emission level represents the main
applications of the tool. However if the
tool is used for different applications,
with different accessories or poorly
maintained, the vibration emission
may differ. This may significantly
increase the exposure level over the
total working period.

An estimation of the level of exposure to

vibration should also take into account
the times when the tool is switched off
or when it is running but not actually
doing the job. This may significantly
reduce the exposure level over the total
working period.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,

read the instruction manual.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings

and all instructions. Failure to follow

the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery­operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or 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.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD 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 personal protective equipment.

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

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger

on the switch or energising 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,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection 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 and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.

5

ENGLISH

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 tool’s 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.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions 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) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Recharge only with the charger specified

by the manufacturer. A charger that is

suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.

c) 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 burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery, avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Safety Instructions for All
Impact Drills

• Wear ear protectors with impact drills.

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.

Loss of control can cause personal injury.

• Hold power tools 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.

• 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 loss of
control.

• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection.
Hammering and drilling operations cause
chips to fly. Flying particles can cause

permanent eye damage.

• Bits, sockets and tools get hot during
operation. Wear gloves when touching them.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of
time. Vibration caused by tool action may be

harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves
to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by
taking frequent rest periods.

contains important safety and operating instruc tions
for the DE9130/DE9135 battery chargers.

• Before using charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on charger, battery pack,
and product using battery pack.

DANGER: Electrocution hazard.

230 volts are present at charging
terminals. Do not probe with conductive
objects. Electric shock or electrocution
may result.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow

any liquid to get inside charger. Electric
shock may result.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce

the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT
rechargeable batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal
injury and damage.

CAUTION: Under certain conditions,

with the charger plugged in to 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

specifically designed to work together.

• These chargers are not intended for
any uses other than charging D
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses

may result in risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution.

• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

• Pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of

damage to electric plug and cord.

• Make sure that cord is located so that it
will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it
is absolutely necessary. Use of improper

extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric
shock, or electrocution.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire
size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety. The smaller the gauge number of the

wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that
is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge.
When using more than one extension to make
up the total length, be sure each individual
extension contains at least the minimum wire
size.

• Do not place any object on top of charger
or place the charger on a soft surface that
might block the ventilation slots and result
in excessive internal heat. Place the charger

in a position away from any heat source. The
charger is ventilated through slots in the top and
the bottom of the housing.

• Do not operate charger with damaged cord
or plug — have them replaced immediately.

• Do not operate charger if it has received
a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized

service center.

• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an
authorized service center when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may

result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or
fire.

• Disconnect the charger from the outlet
before attempting any cleaning. This will
reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing

the battery pack will not reduce this risk.

• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.

• The charger is designed to operate on
standard 230V household electrical power.
Do not attempt to use it on any other
voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular

charger.

ENGLISH

Forward/Reverse Control Button
(fi g. 1)

A forward/reverse control button (b) determines the
direction of the tool 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.

Worklight (fi g. 1)

There is a worklight (g) located just above the trigger
switch (a). The worklight will be activated when the
trigger switch is squeezed.

NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate
work surface and is not intended to be used as a
flashlight.

Quick-Release Chuck (fi g. 4)

DC825, DC827, DC835, DC837, DC845

NOTE: The chuck accepts 1/4" hex accessories
only.

Place the switch in the locked off (center) position or
remove battery pack before changing accessories.

To install an accessory, pull the chuck collar (c)
away from the front of the tool, insert the accessory
and release the collar. The accessory is locked in
place.

To remove an accessory, pull the chuck collar
away from the front of the tool. Remove the
accessory and release the collar.

Anvil With Detent Pin (fi g. 5)

DC820, DC822, DC830, DC832, DC840

Place the switch in the locked off (center) position or
remove battery pack before changing accessories.

To install a socket on the anvil, align the hole in
the side of the socket with the detent pin (e) on the
anvil (f). Press the socket on until the detent pin
engages in the hole. Depression of detent pin may
be necessary to aid installation of socket.

CAUTION: Use only impact sockets.

Non-impact sockets may break and
cause a hazardous condition. Inspect
sock et prior to use to ensure that it
con tains no cracks.

To remove a socket, depress the detent pin
through the hole and pull the socket off.

Usage

Your impact tool generates the following output
torque:

Cat # Ft.-Lbs. In.-Lbs. Nm

DC820 145 1740 195
DC822 145 1740 195
DC825 111 1330 150
DC827 111 1330 150
DC830 135 1620 180
DC832 135 1620 180
DC835 103 1240 140
DC837 103 1240 140

DC840 120 1440 160

DC845 96 1150 130

CAUTION: Ensure fastener and/or

system will withstand the level of torque
generated by the tool. Excessive torque
may cause breakage and possible
personal injury.

1. Place the socket on the fastener head. Keep
the tool pointed straight at the fastener.

2. Press switch to start operation. Always check
torque with a torque wrench, as the fastening
torque is affected by many factors including the
following:

• Voltage: Low voltage, due to a nearly

discharged battery, will reduce fastening
torque.

• Socket size: Failure to use the correct

socket size will cause a reduction in fastening
torque.

• Bolt Size: Larger bolt diameters generally

require higher fastening torque. Fastening
torque will also vary according to length,
grade, and torque coefficient.

• Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free of rust

and other debris to allow proper fastening
torque

• Material: The type of material and surface

finish of the material will affect fastening
torque.

12

ENGLISH

• Fastening Time: Longer fasten ing time

results in increased fastening torque.
Using a longer fastening time than recom­mended could cause the fasteners to be
overstressed, stripped or damaged.
