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 adaptor 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. The DW223G, DW237 and the DW235G units are
grounded. 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 elim-

inates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
Applicable only to Class II (double insulated) tools. The DW217, DW221, DW222, DW223,
DW226, DW231, DW236, DW245 and DW246 units have a polarized plug. The DW217,
DW221, DW222, DW223, DW223-220, DW226, DW231, DW235, DW235-220, DW236,
DW238, DW239, DW245, DW246, DW248 and DW249 units are double insulated. The
DW223-220, and DW235-220 units are rated at 230 volts and they are fitted with the 220
volt style plug which is not polarized.

• 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.

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 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 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. 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. 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 main-

tenance 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 Safety Rules

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cut­ting tools 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.

• Keep handles dry, clean, free from oil and grease. It is recommended to use rubber
gloves. This will enable better control

• 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 insu-

lated grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if you drill or drive into a live wire.

CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and

duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con-

struction 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, sawing, 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 pro-

mote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and

permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

Anti-Lock Control (DW239, DW249)

Your DEWALT drill may come with an electronic feature called Anti-Lock Control. It is designed
to help you control the drill during a stall and keep it from pulling out of your hands. This may be
encountered when drilling in steel or using large bits in wood.

As a stall situation presents itself, the motor cycles on and off for a set period of time. This takes
up the reaction of the stall and allows you to keep the drill under control. The speed control sens­es your release of the trigger and resets the motor to run again.

Figure 4 shows the instruction label mounted behind it. There are three alert signals.

1. Check Level: One flash each time the trigger is depressed. Everything is functioning satis-

factorily. If there is no flash, the tool should be returned to a D

EWALT authorized service

center for repair.

2. Engaged Level: Should a stall condition still exist, the electronics will shut down the tool

and the light will be steady on. When the unit is running in normal mode, there will be no
light.

3. Alert Mode: A series of continual flashes as the trigger is pulled indicates that the electron-

ics are no longer functioning. The tool may still be able to function without the benefit of
AntiLock Control but should be serviced as soon as possible.

Motor Brushes

DEWALT uses an advanced brush system which automatically stops the drill when the brushes
wear out. This prevents serious damage to the motor.

Switch

To start drill, depress trigger switch; to stop the drill, release trigger. To lock trigger in the on posi­tion for continuous operation, depress trigger and push up locking button “A” shown in figure 1,
then gently release the trigger. To release the locking mechanism, depress the trigger fully, then
release it. Before using the tool each time, be sure that the locking button release mechanism
is working freely.

Do not lock the switch on when drilling by hand so that you can instantly release the trigger
switch if the bit binds in the hole.

The locking button is for use only when the drill is mounted in a drill press stand or otherwise
held stationary.
Be sure to release the locking button before disconnecting the plug from the power supply.
Failure to do so will cause the tool to start immediately the next time it is plugged in. Damage
or injury could result.

THE VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH

This switch permits speed control: the farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of
the drill.

NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch, drilling in metal or plastics,
driving screws or drilling ceramics. Higher speeds are better for drilling wood and composition
boards, and for using abrasive and polishing accessories.

THE REVERSING LEVER

The reversing lever changes the direction of rotation of the drill and is used when backing out
screws and jammed drill bits. To operate the tool in reverse, release the trigger switch and push
the lever to the left (when viewed from the chuck end) as shown in Figure 2. To operate the drill
in forward for drilling holes or driving screws (as well as when using other accessories) release
the trigger switch and push the lever to the right (when viewed from the chuck end).

Return the reversing lever to the forward position after all operations in reverse are completed.

SWITCH LOCK-ON

Your drill is equipped with a switch lock-on feature. If you wish to disable this feature, take your
tool to any authorized service center. The service center can provide a lock-out key to prevent
the unit from being locked in the on position (Figure 3).

Operation

DRILLING

1. Always unplug the drill when attaching or changing bits or accessories.

2. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole
saws. For METAL, use high speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. For MASONRY, such as
brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits.

3. 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.

4. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep the drill
biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.

5. Hold the tool firmly to control the twisting action of the drill.

6. IF THE DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded or improperly used.
RELEASE THE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove the 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.

7. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the
bit through the last fractional part of the hole.

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

9. 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.

Keyed Chucks

Open chuck jaws by turning collar with fingers and insert shank of bit about 3/4" into chuck.
Tighten chuck collar by hand. Place chuck key in each of the three holes, and tighten in
CLOCKWISE direction. It’s important to tighten chuck with all three holes to prevent slippage. To
release bit, turn chuck key COUNTERCLOCKWISE in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by
hand. Any authorized D

EWALT service center can install a keyless chuck in place of a keyed

chuck.

Keyless Chucks

Open chuck jaws by turning plastic collar with fingers and insert shank of bit about 3/4" into
chuck. Tighten plastic collar CLOCKWISE while depressing spindle lock button on the right side
of the tool housing (Fig. 4). To release bit, turn plastic collar COUNTERCLOCKWISE while
depressing the spindle lock button (Fig. 4).

NOTE: DO NOT DEPRESS LOCK BUTTON WHILE OPERATING DRILL or while the chuck is
moving.

Drilling in Metal

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 sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil; bacon­grease will also serve the purpose.

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 power drill wood
bits. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a block of wood.

Drilling in Masonry

Use carbide tipped masonry bits at low speeds. Keep an even force on the drill but not so much
that you crack the brittle materials. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.

Side Handle

A side handle may be supplied with your drill. Side handles are included with these drills:
DW231, DW235G, DW235-220, DW236, DW237, DW238, DW239, DW245, DW246, DW248,
DW249. The side handle clamps to the front of the gear case and can be rotated 360 degrees
to permit right or left hand use.

CAUTION: If a side handle is included with your drill, always use it and hold the drill with both

hands.

Maintenance

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. In the
unlikely event that service is ever 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. ACCESSORY MUST BE RATED FOR USE AT SPEED EQUAL TO OR
HIGHER THAN NAMEPLATE R.P.M. OF TOOL WITH WHICH IT IS BEING USED.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES

AVERTISSEMENT! Vous devez lire et comprendre toutes les instructions.

Le non-respect, même partiel, des instructions ci-après entraîne un risque de

choc électrique, d’incendie et/ou de blessures graves.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS

AIRE DE TRAVAIL

• Veillez à ce que l’aire de travail soit propre et bien éclairée. Le désordre et le manque

de lumière favorisent les accidents.

• N’utilisez pas d’outils électriques dans une atmosphère explosive, par exemple en
présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques

créent des étincelles qui pourraient enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs.

• Tenez à distance les curieux, les enfants et les visiteurs pendant que vous travaillez
avec un outil électrique. Ils pourraient vous distraire et vous faire faire une fausse

manoeuvre.

SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE

• Les outils mis à la terre doivent être branchés dan une prise de courant correctement
installée et mise à la terre conformément à tous les codes et règlements pertinents.
Ne modifiez jamais la fiche de quelque façon que ce soit, par exemple en enlevant la
broche de mise à la terre. N'utilisez pas d'adaptateur de fiche. Si vous n'êtes pas cer­tain que la prise de courant est correctement mise à la terre, adressez-vous à un élec­tricien qualifié. En cas de défaillance ou de défectuosité électrique de l'outil, une mise à la

terre offre un trajet de faible résistance à l'électricité qui autrement risquerait de traverser l'u­tilisateur. Les modèles DW223G, DW237, et DW235G sont mis à la terre.

• Les outils à double isolation sont équipés d’une fiche polarisée (une des lames est plus large
que l’autre), qui ne peut se brancher que d’une seule façon dans une prise polarisée Ne
modifiez pas la fiche de l’outil. Les modèles DW217, DW221, DW222, DW223, DW226,
DW231, DW236, DW245, et DW246 sont equipés d´une fishe polariseé. La double
isolation élimine le besoin d’un cordon d’alimentation à trois fils avec mise à la terre ainsi
que d’une prise de courant mise à la terre. Les modèles DW217, DW221, DW222, DW223,
DW223-220, DW226, DW231, DW235-220, DW236, DW238, DW239 DW245,
DW246,DW248, et DW249 comportent une double isolation. Les modèles DW223-220 et
DW235-220 sont faits pour utilisés 230 volts et

• Évitez tout contact corporel avec des surfaces mises à la terre (tuyauterie, radiateurs,
cuisinières, réfrigérateurs, etc.). Le risque de choc électrique est plus grand si votre corps

est en contact avec la terre.

• N’exposez pas les outils électriques à la pluie ou à l’eau. La présence d’eau dans un
outil électrique augmente le risque de choc électrique.

• Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. Ne transportez pas l’outil par son cordon et ne
débranchez pas la fiche en tirant sur le cordon. N’exposez pas le cordon à la chaleur, à

des huiles, à des arêtes vives ou à des pièces en mouvement. Remplacez immédiatement
un cordon endommagé. Un cordon endommagé augmente le risque de choc électrique.

• Lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique à l’extérieur, employez un prolongateur pour
l’extérieur marqué «W-A» ou «W». Ces cordons sont faits pour être utilisés à l’extérieur et

réduisent le risque de choc électrique. S’assurer que le cordon de rallonge est en bon état.
Lorsqu’on se sert d’un cordon de rallonge, s’assurer qu’il est de calibre approprié pour la ten­sion nécessaire au fonctionnement de l’outil. L’utilisation d’un cordon de calibre inférieur
occasionne une baisse de tension entraînant une perte de puissance et la surchauffe. Le
tableau suivant indique le calibre approprié selon la longueur du cordon et les mentions de
la plaque signalétique de l’outil. En cas de doute, utiliser un cordon de calibre supérieur. Le
chiffre indiquant le calibre est inversement proportionnel au calibre du cordon.

SÉCURITÉ DES PERSONNES

• Restez alerte, concentrez-vous sur votre travail et faites preuve de jugement.
N’utilisez pas un outil électrique si vous êtes fatigué ou sous l’influence de drogues,
d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un instant d’inattention suffit pour entraîner des blessures

graves.

• Habillez-vous convenablement. Ne portez ni vêtements flottants ni bijoux. Confinez
les cheveux longs. N’approchez jamais les cheveux, les vêtements ou les gants des
pièces en mouvement. Des vêtements flottants, des bijoux ou des cheveux longs
risquent d’être happés par des pièces en mouvement. Se tenir éloigné des évents

puisque ces derniers pourraient camoufler des pièces mobiles.
