FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 7)
Some D
EWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of
three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in
the battery pack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge
remaining in the battery pack according to the following
indicators:
75–100% charged
51–74% charged
< 50% charged
Pack needs to be charged
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and
L
FIG. 7
hold the fuel gauge button (L). A
combination of the three green LED
lights will illuminate designating the level
of charge left. When the level of charge
in the battery is below the usable limit,
the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the
battery will need to be recharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an
indication of the charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate
tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product
components, temperature and end-user application.

Drilling (Fig. 8)
NOTICE: If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to
prevent damage to the material.
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to
match the speed and torque to the planned operation. Turn the
collar (C) to the drill symbol.
2. Use sharp drill bits only. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement,
cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion
drilling.
3. Always apply pressure in a straight

C
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.
4. Hold tool firmly with both hands
to control the twisting action of
the drill. If model is not equipped
with side handle, grip drill with one
hand on the handle and one hand
on the battery pack.
WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist.
Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the twisting
action and avoid injury.
5. 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 DEPRESS TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT
TO START A STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE
DRILL.
6. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce
pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part
of the hole.
