General Power Tool Safety Warnings
_ ARNING! Read all safety warnings and 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
battery-operated (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) ff operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCl) protected supply. Use of a GFCI 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) ff 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
4)
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 ff 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 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 misallgnment 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) 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 Instructions
• Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep handles dry. clean, and free from oil and grease. This will enable better control of
the tooL
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to
make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum
wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating, ff in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

INTENDED USE
The DWD450 and DWD460 heaw-duty stud and joist drills are designed for professional drilling
at various work sites (i.e., construction sites). DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence
of flammable liquids or gases.
These heaw-duty stud and joist drills are professional power tools. DO NOT let children come
into contact with the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool.
Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. Voltage decrease of more than
10% will cause loss of power and overheating. DEWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool
does not operate, check power supply.
Torque
_},WARNING: This is a high-torque drill. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS
hold tool firmly with both hands in the proper position for operation as shown.
Torque is the twisting action the drill produces in regards to the rotating bit. As the drill bit meets
resistance in the material being drilled, the motor responds by adjusting the output torque to
meet the requirement up to the maximum capacity of the motor and gear system.
BRACING THE TOOL (FIG. 2, 10)
_ WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position
as shown in Figure 2.
/& WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold or brace the tool

SLIP CLUTCH
The DWD450 and DWD460 are each equipped with a slip clutch. The clutch is active when the
low speed (1) is selected. When the bit or cutter bites into the workpiece, the clutch will slip and
a ratcheting sound will be heard. Release the trigger. Continued clutching of the tool will reduce
the life of this feature.
BIND-UP CONTROL (DWD460)
The DWD460 is equipped with bind-up control. This feature senses the motion of tool and
reduces the motor torque to a manageable level if necessary. The bind-up control indicator (G)
will illuminate to indicate status.

Speed Selector (Fig. 1)
CAUTION: Risk of tool damage. Do not rotate the speed selector lever while the drill is running
or coasting, damage may occur to the tool
Rotate the speed selector lever (B) to the desired speed:
1 = low speed (330 RPM)
2 = high speed (1300 RPM)
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing speeds, you may hear a click on start up.This
is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Trigger Switch
Depressing the trigger switch (D) turns the tool on, releasing the trigger switch turns the tool off.
VARIABLE SPEED
A variable speed trigger switch permits speed controlithe 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, plastics or
ceramics. Higher speeds are better for drilling wood and composition boards.
Forward/Reverse Button (Fig. 1)
A forward/reverse button (C) determines the direction of the tool. It is located in front of the
trigger switch.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch (D) and depress the forward/reverse
button on the right side of the tool.
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse button on the left side of the tool. When
changing the position of the 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.
OPERATION
_WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.
The bit rotates clockwise when the tool is in the forward position and counterclockwise when
the tool is in the reverse position. If the bit binds, the tool will slow to a manageable level. Using
proper hand position, brace the side handle (I) or tool body against a stud for better support.
Drilling
i_,WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored
or clamped firmly, If drilling thin material use a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage to the
material
1. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole
saws. For METAL, use steel twist drill bits or hole saws.
2. 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.
3. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill.
4. 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 CLICKTRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL --
THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
5. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the
bit through the last fractional part of the hole.
6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent
jamming.
7. 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
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.
NOTE: Large [5/16" (8 mm) to 1/2" (13 mm)] holes in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole
[5/32" (4 mm) to 3/16" (5 mm)] is drilled first.
DRILLING IN WOOD
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.
Chuck Key Holder (Fig. 5, 6, 7)
1. Push double-hole end of holder through the slot in other end of holder (Fig. 5).
2. Slip loop over electric plug and draw loop tight around cord (Fig. 6).
3. Push ends of chuck key handle (long end first) through two holes in end of holder (Fig. 7).
Keyed Chuck
Open the chuck jaws by turning collar by hand and insert the shank of the bit about 3/4" (19 mm)
into chuck.Tighten the 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 release the bit, turn the
chuck counterclockwise injust one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
NOTE: When using hex shank or three sided shank bits be sure to align the flat sides of the bit with
the chuck jaws to ensure the bit is properly engaged by the jaws.
REMOVAL OF KEYED CHUCK (FIG. 8)
Remove the left-handed clutch screw using a T25 torx wrench, rotating clockwise to loosen.
Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex wrench (not supplied) of 3/8" (10 mm) size.

FORWARD REVERSE
AVANT ARRIt_RE
AVANCE REVERSO
With the tool braced securely, use a soft hammer and strike the hex wrench sharply in the
counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front of the tool. This will loosen the chuck so
that it can be removed by hand.
KEYED CHUCK INSTALLATION (FIG. 9)
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go. Insert the shorter end of a hex wrench (not
supplied) of 3/8" (10 mm) size and strike it in the clockwise direction with a soft hammer.
Reinstall the left handed clutch screw.

d'arr#t avant de brancher I'outil et/ou de le connecter a un bloc-piles, et avant de le
saisir ou de le transporter. Transporter un outil le doigt sur I'interrupteur, ou brancher un
outil electrique alors que I'interrupteur est en position de marche, invite les accidents.
d) Retirer toute cle de reglage avant de demarrer I'outil. Une cle laissee sur une piece
rotative d'un outil electrique pose des risques de blessure.
e) Ne pas effectuer de travaux burs de portee. Les pieds doivent rester bien ancres
au sol afin de maintenir son equilibre en tout temps. Cela permet de mieux maftriser
I'outil electrique dans les situations imprevues.
f) Porter des v#tements appropries. Ne pas porter de v#tements amples ni de bijoux.
Maintenir cheveux, v#tements et Rants eloignes des pieces mobiles. V#tements
amples, bijoux ou cheveux longs risquent de rester coinces dans ces pieces mobiles.
g) Lorsqu'un dispositif de connexion a un systeme de depoussierage ou d'elimination
est fourni, s'assurer qu'il est connecte et utilise correctement. L'utilisation d'aspirateurs
peut reduire les risques engendres par les poussieres.
4) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DES OUTILS I_LECTRIQUES
a) Ne pas forcer un outil electrique. Utiliser I'outil approprie au travail en cours. L'outil
approprie effectuera un meilleur travail, de faoon plus s_re eta la vitesse pour laquelle il
a ete conou.
b) Ne pas utiliser un outil electrique dont I'interrupteur est defectueux. Tout appareil
dont I'interrupteur est defectueux est dangereux et doit #tre repare.
c) Debrancher la fiche du secteur et/ou le bloc-piles de I'outil electrique avant de
faire tout reglage ou changement d'accessoire, ou avant de ranger ce dernier. Ces
mesures preventives reduisent les risques de demarrage accidentel de I'appareiL
d) Apres usage, ranger les outils electriques hors de la portee des enfants, et ne
permettre a aucune personne n'etant pas familiere avec un outil electrique (ou son
manuel d'instruction) d'utiliser ce dernier. Les outils peuvent #tre dangereux entre les
mains des novices.
e) Entretenir les outils electriques. Wrifier les pieces mobiles pour s'assurer qu'elles
sont bien alignees et tournent librement, qu'elles sont en bun etat et ne sont
affectees d'aucune condition susceptible de nuire au bun fonctionnement de I'outil.
En cas de dommage, faire reparer I'outil electrique avant toute nouvelle utilisation.
Bien des accidents sont causes par des outils mal entretenus.
f) Maintenir toute lame aiguisee et propre. Les outils de coupe bien entretenus et aff_tes
sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles a contrSler.
g) Utiliser un outil electrique, ses accessoires, meches, etc., conformement aux
presentes directives en tenant compte des conditions de travail et du travail
effectuer. L'utilisation d'un outil electrique pour toute operation autre que celle pour
laquelle il a ete conou est dangereuse.
5) SERVICE
a) Faire entretenir les outils electriques par un reparateur qualifie en utilisant
seulement des pieces de rechange identiques. Cela permettra d'assurer I'integrite de
I'outil electrique et la securite de I'utilisateur.
Consignes de s_curit_ particuli_res additionnelles
• Pendant I'utilisation d'une perceuse apercussion, porter un protege-oreille. Le bruit en
resultant pourrait occasionner une perte de I'oui'e.
• Utiliser les poignees auxiliaires fournies avec I'outil. Une perte de contrSle de I'outil
pourrait occasionner des dommages corporels.
• Tenir I'outil par les surfaces isolees prevues a cet effet pendant toute utilisation ob
I'organe de coupe pourrait entrer en contact avec des ills electriques caches ou son
propre cordon. Tout contact avec un fil sous tension met les parties metalliques exposees
de I'outil sous tension et electrocute I'utilisateur.
• Utiliser des serre-joints ou tout autre moyen pour fixer et immobiliser le materiau
sur une surface stable. Tenir la piece a la main ou contre son corps offre une stabilite
insuffisante qui pourrait vous en faire perdre le contrSle.
• Porter des lunettes de protection ou toute autre protection oculaire. Le martelage et
le peroage peuvent faire voltiger des eclats. Ces particules volantes pourraient occasionner
des dommages oculaires permanents.
• Maintenir les poignees propres et seches, exempts d'huile ou de graisse. Cela
permettra un meilleur contrSle de I'outil.
• Prendre des precautions a proximite des events, car ils cachent des pieces mobiles.
V#tements amples, bijoux ou cheveux longs risquent de rester coinces dans ces pieces
mobiles.
• Pour la securite de I'utilisateur, utiliser une rallonge de calibre adequat (AWG,
American Wire Gauge [calibrage americain normalise des ills electriques]). Plus
le calibre est petit, et plus sa capacite est grande. Un calibre 16, par exemple, a plus de
capacite qu'un calibre 18.L'usage d'une rallonge de calibre insuffisant causera une chute de
tension entrafnant perte de puissance et surchauffe. Si plus d'une rallonge est utilisee pour
obtenir une certaine Iongueur, s'assurer que chaque rallonge presente au moins le calibre
de fil minimum. Le tableau ci-dessous illustre les calibres a utiliser selon la Iongueur de
rallonge et I'intensite nominale indiquee sur la plaque signaletique. En cas de doute, utiliser
le calibre suivant. Plus le calibre est petit, plus la rallonge peut supporter de courant.
