General Safety Rules
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 accidents.
• 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
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user. Applicable only to Class I (grounded) tools.
• 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. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The following table shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Such preventative 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.
• 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. T emporary 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

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 medication. 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 off before plugging
in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or switches 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 the plug from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.

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.
CAUTION: Some wood contains preservatives such as copper
chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When cutting these
materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize
skin contact.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate dust containing
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Use appropriate respiratory protection.

Side Handle
CAUTION: Always use side handle when provided and hold
hammer with both hands. A side handle is supplied with this hammer.
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.
Switch
To start hammer, depress the trigger switch (Figure 2). To stop
hammer, release the switch. To lock the trigger switch in the ON
position for continuous operation, depress the trigger switch and
push up the locking button. The tool will continue to run. To turn
the tool OFF, from a locked ON condition, squeeze and release the
trigger once. Before using the tool (each time), be sure that the
locking button release mechanism is working freely.
Be sure to release the locking mechanism before disconnecting the
plug from the power supply. Failure to do so will cause the rotary
hammer to start immediately the next time it is plugged in. Damage
or injury could result.
The variable speed trigger switch permits speed control. The
farther the trigger switch is depressed, the higher the speed of the
rotary hammer.
The reversing lever is used to reverse the rotary hammer for

accessories.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Hold tool firmly to control the twisting action of the drill.
5. 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.
6. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce
pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part of
the hole.
7. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled
hole. This will help prevent jamming.
8. 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
An ‘SDS shank to round shank’ adaptor chuck is required. 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. The
cutting lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil or lard oil;
bacon-grease will also serve the purpose.

backing out screws or jammed bits. It is located above the trigger,
shown in Figure 2. To reverse the rotary hammer, turn it OFF and
push the reversing lever to the left (when viewed from the chuck
end). To position the lever for forward operation, turn the rotary
hammer OFF and push the lever to the right. .
Hammer/Drill Selector
T o switch the tool from the drill only mode to the rotary hammer mode
(or vice-versa) rotate the dial on the applicable symbol shown in
Figure 3. The DW566 has three positions as shown in Figure 4.
NOTE: The selector must be in either drill, or hammer, or rotary
hammer mode at all times. There are no operable positions among
the three.
SDS Chuck
To insert bit, pull the collar back and insert shank of bit about 3/4”
into chuck. Release the collar. The bit will be securely held.
To release bit, pull the collar back as before and remove the bit.

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
An ‘SDS shank to round shank’ adaptor chuck is required. 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 and be certain that the bit has adequate carbide on the tip.
Ensure that the rotary 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.
Depth Rod
To adjust the depth rod, loosen the handle and move rod so that the
distance between the end of the rod and the end of the bit equals
5
English
the desired drilling depth. When drilling with depth rod, stop when
end of rod reaches surface of material.
Maintenance
CLEANING & LUBRICATION
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. If service is needed, take your tool to an
authorized service location.
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.
