Overload clutch
In case of jamming of a drill bit, the drive to the drill
spindle is interrupted. Because of the resulting
forces, always hold the tool with both hands and
take a firm stance.
Brake mechanism
When the variable speed switch is released, the
spindle will stop rotating instantly.
Electrical safety
The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the battery pack
power corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate. Also make sure that the voltage of your
charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your DEWALT charger is double
insulated in accordance with EN 60335.
Mains plug replacement
(U.K. & Ireland only)
• Should your mains plug need replacing and you
are competent to do this, proceed as instructed
below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorized
DEWALT repair agent or a qualified electrician.
• Disconnect the plug from the supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug
with bared copper conductors is dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs
fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked
at the connection points of most good quality
plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points
in the plug (see below). Brown is for Live (L) (2)
and Blue is for Neutral (N) (4).
• Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug
ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the
outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the two
leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.
Never use a light socket.
Never connect the live (L) or neutral (N)
wires to the earth pin marked E or .
Using an extension cable
An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use an approved extension
cable suitable for the power input of your charger
(see technical data). The minimum conductor size is
1 mm
2
; the maximum length is 30 m.
Assembly and adjustment
• Prior to assembly and adjustment,
always remove the battery pack.
• Always switch off the tool before
inserting or removing the battery pack.
• Use only DEWALT battery packs and
chargers.
Battery pack (fig. A)
Charging the battery pack
When charging the battery pack for the first time, or
after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80%
charge. After several charge and discharge cycles,
the battery pack will attain full capacity.
Always check the mains prior to charging the battery
pack. If the mains is functioning but the battery pack
does not charge, take your charger to an authorised
DEWALT repair agent.
