  4. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the 
twisting action of the drill. 
 5. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it 
is being overloaded. RELEASE TRIGGER 
IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, 
and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT 
CLICK TRIGGER OFF AND ON IN AN 
ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL – 
THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
  6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit 
back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent 
jamming. 
Screwdriver Operation (Figure 4)
  1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the 
three-speed gear shifter (g) on the top of tool 
to match the speed and torque to the planned 
application. Initially set the torque adjustment 
collar (e) at a lower setting to ensure the 
fastener to be set to your specification.
 NOTE: Use the lowest torque setting required 
to seat the fastener at the desired depth. The 
lower the number, the lower the torque output.
  2. Rotate the mode control collar (f) so the screw 
symbol is aligned with the arrow. 
  3. Reset the torque adjustment collar (e) to the 
appropriate number setting for the torque 
desired. Make a few practice runs in scrap or 
unseen areas to determine the proper position 
of the torque adjustment collar.
NOTE: The torque adjustment collar may be 
set to any number at any time. However, the 
torque adjustment collar is only engaged during 
screwdriving mode and not in drill and hammerdrill 
modes.
Hammerdrill Operation (Figure 5)
  1. Select the desired speed/torque range using 
the gear shifter to match the speed and torque 
to the planned operation. Set the mode control 
collar (f) to the hammer symbol.
  2. When drilling, use just enough force on the 
hammer to keep it from bouncing excessively. 
Too much force will cause slower drilling 
speeds, overheating, and a lower drilling rate.
  3. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to 
the work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit 
when drilling as this will cause clogging of the 
bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.
  4. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed 
starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of 
the hole with the tool still running to help clear 
debris from the hole.
  5. For masonry, use carbide-tipped bits or 
masonry bits. A smooth, even flow of dust 
indicates the proper drilling rate.
MAINTENANCE
Your DeWALT power tool has been designed to 
operate over a long period of time with a minimum 
of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation 
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
     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.
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable. 
There are no serviceable parts inside.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
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 this procedure. 
   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 a liquid.
CHARGER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS 
     WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect 
the charger from the AC outlet before 
cleaning. Dirt and grease may be 
removed from the exterior of the charger 
using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. 
Do not use water or any cleaning 
solutions.
