Speed Selector (Fig.A)
NOTICE: 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 dial
6
to the desired speed:
1 (·) = low speed (high torque)
2 (··) = high speed (low torque)
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.
Variable Speed Trigger (Fig.A)
Depressing the variable speed trigger
7
turns the tool on,
releasing the variable speed trigger turns the tool off. The
variable speed trigger permits speed control—the farther the
trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of thedrill.
Forward/Reverse Button (Fig.A)
A forward/reverse button
9
determines the direction of the
tool. It is located in front of thetrigger.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger
7
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.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can causeinjury.

WARNING: Use only
DeWALT
battery packs andchargers.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
NEVER brace the tool against the batterypack.
With hands in the proper hand position (also refer to Fig. H),
brace the tool as shown in FigureC.
The bit rotates clockwise when the tool is in the forward
position and counterclockwise when the tool is in the reverse
position. Using proper hand position, brace the side handle
5
or tool body against a stud for better support (Fig.C).
Clutch
The DCD470 is equipped with a mechanical 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.
E-Clutch® System (Fig. A)
The DCD470 is equipped with the
DeWALT
anti-rotation
E-Clutch® system. This feature senses the motion of the tool
and shuts the tool down if necessary. The red LED indicator
12
illuminates when the E-Clutch® system isengaged.

Top Handle (Fig.D)
A fixed top handle
4
is provided for carrying the tool and for
use as an additionalhandle.
Side Handle (Fig.E)

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
5
can be assembled into either
side of tool. Thread the side handle
5

Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack
from the Tool (Fig. B)
NOTE: Make sure your battery pack
1
is fullycharged.
To Install the Battery Pack into the Tool Handle
1. Align the battery pack
1
with the rails inside the tool’s
handle (Fig. B).
2. Slide it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated
in the tool and ensure that you hear the lock snap intoplace.
To Remove the Battery Pack from the Tool
1. Press the release button
2
and firmly pull the battery pack
out of the toolhandle.

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some
DeWALT
battery packs include a fuel gauge which
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the batterypack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button
 
. 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.
