General Safety Rules – For All Battery
Operated Tools
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to fol-
low 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
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may cre-
ate a fire.
• 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 suitable for one type of
battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
• Use battery operated tool only with the specifically designated
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 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. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also
be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or 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 a 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 at the rate for which it is
designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A 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, chang-
2
ing accessories, or storing the tool. 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.
• 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 tool’s
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 manufac-
turer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one
tool, may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified person-
nel may 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 shock or injury.
Additional Safety Rules
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact
with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable
surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some
tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack but
may be easily knocked over.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, saw-
ing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear
protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and
water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin
may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
• The label on your tool may include the following symbols.

Important Safety Instructions
for Battery Packs
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using
the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions below. Then
follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode in
a fire.
• A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may
occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This
does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and
this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water
for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical
attention. (Medical note: The liquid is 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.)
• Do not carry extra battery packs in aprons, pockets, or tool
boxes along with other metal objects. Battery pack could be
short circuited causing damage to the battery pack and possibly
causing severe burns or fire.
• Charge the battery packs only in D
EWALT chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
NOTE: 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.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (such as
outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
DANGER: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.
If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs
should be returned to service center for recycling.
Battery Packs
Your tool uses a 12.0 volt, 14.4 volt, or an 18 volt DEWALT battery
Pack. When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include
catalog number and voltage.
NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for
use whenever the battery is out of the tool or charger.
Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.
WARNING: Do not store or carry battery so that
metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals.
For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
without battery cap. Without cap in place, battery could short circuit
causing fire or burns or damage to battery.
The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or
battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have
already been paid by D
EWALT. In some areas, it is illegal
to place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash or municipal solid
waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally
conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with D
EWALT and other battery users, has
established programs in the United States to facilitate the collection of
spent nickel-cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and
conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel-cadmium

battery to an authorized DEWALT service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for
information on where to drop off the spent battery.
Important Safety Instructions for
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety instructions for battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings
on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only D
EWALT nickel
cadmium 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 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.
DANGER: 120 volts are present at charging terminals. Do not
probe with conductive objects. Electric shock or electrocution may
result.
WARNING: Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric
shock may result.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers
other than the ones in this manual. The charger and battery
pack are specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than
charging D
EWALT 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.

packs.
Charging Procedure
1 HOUR CHARGERS
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate power outlet.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, as shown in FIG.1, making sure the pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging)
light will blink continuously indicating that the charging process
has started.
3. The battery pack will be fully charged in about 1 hour. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON
continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left in the charger.

Indicator Light Operation
Charge Indicators
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise
with battery packs. Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at
a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack into the charger. If the
problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is
defective and should be returned to a service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble
indication as the original, have the charger tested at an authorized service center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery has
cooled, the charger automatically switches 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.
PROBLEM POWER LINE
Some chargers have a Problem Power Line indicator. When the
charger is used with some portable power sources such as generators
or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed
by a pause. This indicates the power source is out of limits.

perature 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:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other
appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which
turns power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F
(18°- 24°C).
d. 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.

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light
glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and
fully charged.
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the
charger. If the battery pack has not been kept on maintenance charge,
it may need to be recharged before use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Chargers can also detect a weak battery.
Such batteries are still usable but should not be expected to perform
as much work. In such cases, about 10 seconds after battery insertion, the charger will beep rapidly 8 times to indicate a weak battery
condition. The charger will then go on to charge the battery to the highest capacity possible.
15 MINUTE CHARGERS
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate
power outlet. The charger will beep twice,
the red light will blink and go off.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, as
shown in FIG. 2, making sure the pack is
fully seated in the charger. The red light will
blink and the charger will beep once indicating the charging process has started.
3. The battery pack will be fully charged in
less than 15 minutes under most conditions. This will be indicated
by the red light remaining ON and 3 beeps. The pack is fully
charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
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 tem-

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, or in any application
requiring high torque. Higher speeds are better
for drilling in wood, wood compositions and for
using abrasive and polishing accessories. 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 (Fig. 5)
A forward/reverse control button 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. 6)
The torque adjustment collar is clearly marked with numbers and a
drill bit symbol.The collar should be rotated until the desired setting is
located at the top of the tool, (FIG. 6). Locators are provided in the collar to eliminate the guess work when selecting fastening torque. The

Dual Range Gearing (Fig. 6)
The dual range feature of your Driver/Drill allows you to shift gears for
greater versatility.
To select the low speed, high torque setting, turn the tool off and permit to stop. Slide the gear shifter forward (towards the chuck) as
shown in FIG. 6. To select the high speed, low torque setting, turn the
tool off and permit to stop. Slide the gear shifter back (away from
chuck).
NOTE Do not change gears when the tool is running. If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual range gear shifter
is either completely pushed forward or completely pushed back.
Keyless Chuck (Fig. 7)
Your tool features a keyless chuck for
greater convenience. To insert a drill
bit or other accessory, follow the steps
listed below.
1. Grasp the rear half of the chuck
with one hand and use your other
hand to rotate the front half counterclockwise, as shown. Rotate far enough so that the chuck
opens sufficiently to accept the desired accessory.
2. Insert the bit or other accessory about 3/4" into the chuck and
tighten securely by holding the rear half of the chuck and rotating
the front portion in the clockwise direction.
To release the accessory, repeat steps 1 and 2 listed above.
WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other acces-
sory) 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 when changing accessories.
Chuck Removal (Fig. 8)
Turn the adjustment collar to the “drill” position and low speed gear
shifter position 1. Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex
key (not supplied) (5/16" hex key for a 3/8" capacity chuck and 3/8"
hex key for a 1/2" capacity chuck.) Using a wooden mallet or similar
object, strike the longer end in the clockwise direction, as shown in
FIG. 8. This will loosen the screw inside the chuck.
Open chuck jaws fully, insert screwdriver (or Torx tool if required) into
front of chuck between jaws to engage screw head. Remove screw by
turning clockwise (left-hand-thread). This will loosen the chuck so that
it can be unscrewed by hand.
