injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can causeinjury.
The charger and battery pack are notserviceable.
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 ofwood.
Drilling in Masonry
WARNING: Never drill into masonry which is reinforced
such as rebar reinforcedconcrete.
WARNING: For applications which produce a
considerable amount of dust such as core drilling, always
use an auxiliary dust attachment with an M Class rated
dust extractor such asDWV902M.
Use dry core masonry bits. Keep even force on the drill but not
so much that you crack the brittle material. A smooth, even flow
of dust indicates the proper drillingrate.
Use sharp drill bits only. For masonry, such as brick, cement,
cinder block, etc., use dry diamond core bits
NOTE: Always use core bits designed for drydrilling.
Troubleshooting Drilling in Masonry
Problem Solution
Core bit does not cut.
Material too hard for core bit.
• Choose a more appropriate core bit
(with softer segments).
Segments look glazed and polished • Drill in abrasive material to re-expose
diamond segments.
Dust accumulating in core bit.
Accumuating dust slows down the
drilling speed.
• Disengage drill bit regularly to
evacuate cuttings. Check filter on dust
extraction, clean or replace
as required.
Rotating speed may not
be appropriate.
• Refer to the Maximum
Recommended Capacities
table for proper speed ratings.
Segments wear too fast. • Choose a more appropriate core bit
(with harder segments).
• Reduce the pressure applied on the
core bit.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing
with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around
the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing thisprocedure.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals
for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts.
Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into aliquid.
