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.
2. Insert battery pack into the charger as described in the
charger section of thismanual.
Squeeze the tool trigger for three seconds to dissipate the slight
electric charge that may still be in the tool. The worklight may
come on for a briefmoment.
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.
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

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
