Safety instructions

When using Power Tools, always observe the
safety regulations applicable in your country to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury. Read the following safety
instructions before attempting to operate this
product. Keep these instructions in a safe place!

General

1 Keep work area clean

Fire hazard! Avoid metal short circuiting
the contacts of a detached battery pack
(e.g. keys carried in the same pocket as
a battery pack).

• The battery fluid, a 25-30% solution of potassium
hydroxide, can be harmful. In case of skin
contact, flush immediately with water.
Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar. In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly

Electrical safety

The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the battery pack
power corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate. Also make sure that the voltage of your
charger corresponds to that of your mains.

Your DEWALT charger is double
insulated in accordance with EN 50144.

Mains plug replacement
(U.K. & Ireland only)

• Should your mains plug need replacing and you
are competent to do this, proceed as instructed
below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorized
DEWALT repair agent or a qualified electrician.

• Disconnect the plug from the supply.

• Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug
with bared copper conductors is dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.

• Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs
fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).

• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked
at the connection points of most good quality
plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points
in the plug (see below). Brown is for Live (L) (2)
and Blue is for Neutral (N) (4).

• Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug
ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the
outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the two
leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.

Never use a light socket.
Never connect the live (L) or neutral (N)
wires to the earth pin marked E or .

Using an extension cable

An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use an approved extension
cable suitable for the power input of your charger
(see technical data). The minimum conductor size is

0.5 mm2; the maximum length is 30 m.

Assembly and adjustment

Prior to assembly and adjustment,
always remove the battery pack.

Always switch OFF the tool before
inserting or removing the battery pack.

Battery pack (fig. A)

Charging the battery pack

When charging the battery pack for the first time,
or after prolonged storage, it will only accept an
80% charge. After several charge and discharge
cycles, the battery pack will attain full capacity.
Always check the mains prior to charging the battery
pack. If the mains is functioning but the battery pack
does not charge, take your charger to an authorised
DEWALT repair agent. Whilst charging, the charger
and the battery pack may become warm to touch.
This is a normal condition and does not indicate a
problem.

18 en - 5

ENGLISH

Do not charge the battery pack at
ambient temperatures <4 °C or >40 °C.
Recommended charging temperature:
approx. 24 °C.

• To charge the battery pack (6), insert it into the
charger (8) as shown and plug in the charger.
Be sure that the battery pack is fully seated in the
charger. The red charging indicator (9) will blink.
After approx. 1 hour, it will stop blinking and
remain on. The battery pack is now fully charged.
The battery pack can be removed at any time or
left in the connected charger indefinitely.

Inserting and removing the battery pack

• Insert the battery pack into the grip until it clicks
in place.

• To remove the battery pack, press the two
release buttons (7) simultaneously and pull the
pack out of the grip.

Inserting and removing bits (fig. A)

• Open the chuck (4) by turning the sleeve (5)
counterclockwise and insert the bit shank.

• Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go and
lift slightly before tightening.

• Tighten firmly by turning the sleeve clockwise
while holding the rear part of the chuck with one
hand.

• To remove the bit, proceed in reverse order.

Forward/reverse switch (fig. A)

• To select forward or reverse rotation, use the
forward/reverse slider (2) as shown (see arrows
on tool).

Always wait until the motor has come to
a complete standstill before changing the
direction of rotation.

Two gear selector (fig. B)

Your tool is fitted with a two gear selector (3) to vary
the speed/torque ratio.

1 low speed/high torque

(drilling large holes, driving large screws)

2 high speed/low torque

(drilling smaller holes, driving smaller screws)

For speed rates, refer to the technical data.

Always push the two gear selector
completely forward or backward.

• Do not change gears at full speed or during use.

Removing and fitting the chuck (fig. C & D)

• Open the chuck jaws as far as possible.

• Insert a screwdriver into the chuck and remove
the chuck retaining screw (10) by turning
clockwise as shown in figure C.

• Tighten an Allen key into the chuck and strike it with
a hammer as shown in figure D. This will loosen the
chuck so that it can be unscrewed by hand.

• To refit the chuck, proceed in reverse order.

Instructions for use

• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.

• Be aware of the location of pipework and
wiring.

• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool.
Excessive force does not speed up
drilling but decreases tool performance
and may shorten tool life.

• To minimise stalling on break-through,
progressively reduce the drill point
pressure towards the end of the
operation.

• Keep the motor running when pulling the
bit back out of a drilled hole. This will
help prevent jamming.

Prior to operation:

• Make sure your battery pack is (fully) charged.

• Insert the appropriate bit.

• Mark the spot where the hole is to be drilled.

• Select forward or reverse rotation.

Switching ON and OFF (fig. A)

• To run the tool, press the variable speed switch (1).
The pressure exerted on the variable speed
switch determines the tool speed.

• To stop the tool, release the switch.

• To lock the tool in OFF-position, move the
forward/reverse slider (2) to the central position.

ENGLISH

en - 6 19

The drill is equipped with a brake to stop
the tool as soon as the variable speed
switch is fully released.

Drilling in metal

• Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass which
should be drilled dry.

Drilling in wood

• 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.

• For larger holes use Auger bits.

• Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that
may splinter.

Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.

Maintenance

Your DEWALT Power Tool has been designed to
operate over a long period of time with a minimum
of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.

Lubrication

Your Power Tool requires no additional lubrication.

Cleaning

• Unplug the charger before cleaning the housing
with a soft cloth.

• Remove the battery pack before cleaning your
Power Tool.

• Keep the ventilation slots clear and regularly
clean the housing with a soft cloth.

Environment

Rechargeable battery pack

This long life battery pack must be recharged when
it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which
were easily done before. At the end of its technical
life, discard it with due care for our environment:

• Run the battery pack down completely, then
remove it from the tool.

• NiCd cells are recyclable. Take them to your
dealer or a local recycling station. The collected
battery packs will be recycled or disposed of
properly.

Unwanted tools

Take your tool to an authorised DEWALT repair
agent where it will be disposed of in an
environmentally safe way.
