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

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

securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.

With hands in the proper hand position, brace the tool as shown in Figure 10. 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.

A bail handle is provided for carrying the tool and for use as an additional handle. Assemble the bail handle in one of the positions shown in Figure 3. When changing the location of the bail

handle from one position to the other, completely remove the two bail handle bolts (E) securing it. Flip the handle over and reinstall.

Side Handle (Fig. 4)

_WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, always operate the tool with the side handle properly installed and tightened. Failure to do so may result in the side handle slipping during

tool operation and subsequent loss of control Hold tool with both hands to maximize control

The two position side handle (I)can be assembled into either side of tool.Thread the side handle

(I) into the bail handle bolt (E) or directly into threaded holes (J) on desired side.Tighten securely

by hand.

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.

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.

manquement aux directives et consignes pose des risques de choc electrique, d'incendie et/ou de blessure grave.

CONSERVER TOUTES CES DIRECTIVES

ET CONSIGNES A TITRE DE REFERENCE

Le terme , outil electrique _ dans ces directives se rapporte a votre outil electrique alimente sur secteur (avec ill) ou par piles (sans ill).

1) SI_CURITI_ - AIRE DE TRAVAIL

a) Maintenir I'aire de travail propre et bien eclairee. Les lieux encombres ou sombres sont

propices aux accidents.

b) Ne pas faire fonctionner un outil electrique clans une atmosphere explosive, en

presence par exemple de poussieres, gaz ou liquides inflammables. Les outils electriques peuvent produire des etincelles qui pourraient enflammer toute emanation ou poussiere ambiante.

c) Tenir les enfants, ou toute autre personne, a I'ecart pendant I'utilisation d'un outil

electrique. Toute distraction pourrait faire perdre la ma_trise de I'appareiL

2) SI_CURITI_ - I_LECTRICITI_

a) La fiche electrique de I'outil dolt correspondre a la prise murale. Ne jamais modifier

la fiche en aucune fa_on. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d'adaptation avec un outil electrique mis a la terre. L'utilisation de fiches d'origine et de prises appropriees reduira les risques de choc electrique.

b) _:viter tout contact corporel avec des elements mis a la terre comme tuyaux,

radiateurs, cuisinieres ou refrigerateurs. Les risques de choc electrique augmentent Iorsque le corps est mis a la terre.

c) Ne pas exposer les outils electriques a la pluie ou a I'humidite. Toutepenetration d'un

outil electrique par un liquide augmente les risques de choc electrique.

d) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de fa_on abusive. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour

transporter, tirer ou debrancher un outil electrique. Proteger le cordon de la chaleur, de I'huile et de tout bord tranchant ou piece mobile. Les cordons endommages ou

emm#les augmentent les risques de choc electrique.

e) Lors de I'utilisation d'un outil electrique a I'exterieur, n'utiliser que des rallonges

con_ues pour I'exterieur. L'utilisation d'une rallonge conoue pour I'exterieur reduit les risques de choc electrique.

f) Si I'utilisation d'un outil electrique en milieu humide est inevitable, utiliser une

alimentation protegee par un disjoncteur de fuites a la terre (DDFT). L'utilisation d'un DDFT reduit les risques de choc electrique.

3) SI_CURITI_ PERSONNELLE

a) Rester constamment vigilant et faire preuve de jugement pendant I'utilisation

d'un outil electrique. Ne pas utiliser d'outil electrique en cas de fatigue ou sous I'influence de drogues, d'alcool ou de medicaments. Tout moment d'inattention

pendant I'utilisation d'un outil electrique pose des risques de blessure grave.

b) Utiliser un equipement de protection individueL Porter systematiquement des

lunettes de protection. Le fait de porter un equipement de protection tel que masque antipoussieres, chaussures antiderapantes, casque de securite ou protecteurs auditifs

Iorsque la situation le requiert, reduira les risques de dommages corporels.

c) Prevenir tout demarrage accidenteL S'assurer que I'interrupteur est en position

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.
