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

34

ENGLISH

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 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 for
Drill/Driver/Hammerdrill

• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the

tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a

“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.

• 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.

• Accessories and tool may get hot during
operation. Wear gloves when handling them if

performing heat producing applications such as
hammerdrilling and drilling metals.

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

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

• Air vents often cover moving parts and
should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Residual Risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of drills:

– Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or

hot parts of the tool.

In spite of the application of the relevant safety
regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:

– Impairment of hearing.
– Risk of squeezing fingers when changing

accessories.

– Health hazards caused by breathing dust

developed when working in wood.

35

Variable Speed Trigger Switch
(fig.1)

To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (a).
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.

NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is
not recommended. It may damage the switch and
should be avoided.

Forward/Reverse Control Button
(fig. 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.

Torque Adjustment Collar (fig. 1)

Your tool has an adjustable torque screwdriver
mechanism for driving and removing a wide array of
fastener shapes and sizes and in some models, a
hammer mechanism for drilling into masonry. Circling
the collar (c) are numbers, a drill bit symbol, and on
some models, a hammer symbol. These numbers
are used to set the clutch to deliver a torque range.
The higher the number on the collar, the higher the
torque and the larger the fastener which can be
driven. To select any of the numbers, rotate until the
desired number aligns with the arrow.

Dual Range Gearing (fig. 1)

The dual range feature of your drill/driver/hammerdrill
allows you to shift gears for greater versatility.

1. To select speed 1 (high torque setting), turn
the tool off and permit it to stop. Slide the gear
shifter (d) forward (towards the chuck).

2. To select speed 2 (low torque setting), turn the
tool off and permit it to stop. Slide the gear
shifter back (away from the chuck).

NOTE: Do not change gears when the tool is
running. Always allow the drill to come to a complete
stop before changing gears. If you are having trouble
changing gears, make sure that the dual range
gear shifter is either completely pushed forward or
completely pushed back.

Worklight (fig. 1)

There is a worklight (e) located just above the
trigger switch (a). The worklight is activated when
the trigger switch is depressed. When the trigger is

40

ENGLISH

released, the worklight will stay illuminated for up to
20 seconds.

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

Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck
(fig. 7–9)

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
result. Always lock off trigger switch
and disconnect tool from power source
when changing acces sories.

WARNING: Always ensure the bit

is secure before starting the tool. A
loose bit may eject from tool causing
possible personal injury.

Your tool features a keyless chuck (f) with one
rotating sleeve for one-handed operation of the
chuck. To insert a drill bit or other accessory, follow
these steps.

1. Turn tool off and disconnect tool from power
source.

2. Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck with one
hand and use the other hand to secure the
tool. Rotate the sleeve counterclockwise far
enough to accept the desired accessory.

3. Insert the accessory about 19 mm (3/4") into
the chuck and tighten securely by rotating
the chuck sleeve clockwise with one hand
while holding the tool with the other. Your tool
is equipped with an automatic spindle lock
mechanism. This allows you to open and close
the chuck with one hand.

Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand on the
chuck sleeve and one hand holding the tool for
maximum tightness.

To release the accessory, repeat steps 1 and 2
above.

Screwdriver Operation (fig. 4)

1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the
dual range gear selector to match the speed
and torque of the planned operation.

2. Turn the torque adjustment collar (c) to the
desired position. Lower numbers indicate lower
torque settings; higher numbers indicate higher
torque settings.

3. Insert the desired fastener accessory into the
chuck as you would any drill bit.

4. Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen
areas to determine the proper position of the
clutch collar.

5. Always start with lower torque settings, then
advance to higher torque settings to avoid
damage to the workpiece or fastener.

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 with both hands to control
the twisting action of the drill. If model is not

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.

Hammerdrill Operation (fig. 6)

DCD776 ONLY

1. Turn the collar (c) to the hammerdrill symbol.

2. Select the high speed setting by sliding the
selector back (away from the chuck).

IMPORTANT: Use carbide-tipped or masonry

bits only.

3. Drill with just enough force on the hammer to
keep it from bouncing excessively or “rising” off
the bit. Too much force will cause slower drilling
speeds, overheating and lower drilling rate.

4. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to
the work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit
when drillling as this will cause clogging of the
bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.

42

5. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed
starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of the
hole with tool stil running to help clear debris
from the hole.

NOTE: A smooth, even flow of dust from the hole
indicates proper drilling rate.
