Hammerdrilling
DCD706 Only
Important: Use carbide-tipped or masonry bits rated for
percussion drillingonly.
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the speed
selector
6
to match the speed and torque to the
planned operation. Turn the mode selection collar
5
to
the hammerdrillsymbol.
Performing an Application (Fig. A)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or
clampedfirmly.

WARNING: Always wait until the motor has come to
a complete standstill before changing the direction
ofrotation.
Prior to Performing Work
Install the appropriate bit or accessory into the chuck. Refer
to Installing a Bit or Accessory into a KeylessChuck.

WARNING:
• Do not use this tool to mix or pump easily
combustible or explosive fluids (benzine,
alcohol,etc.).
• Do not mix or stir flammable liquids
labeledaccordingly.
Screwdriving
Your tool has a clutch with adjustable torque for driving
and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes. The
numbers 1–15 on the mode selection collar
5
are used to
set a torque range for screwdriving. The higher the number
on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the
fastener which can be driven.

NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should
beavoided.
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the
direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
Worklight (Fig. F)

CAUTION: Do not stare into worklight. Serious eye
injury could result.
The worklight
7
is located on the foot of the tool. The
worklight is activated when the trigger is depressed. If the
trigger switch remains depressed, the worklight will remain
on in allmodes.
The beam will automatically turn off 20 seconds after the
trigger switch isreleased.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work
surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
1. Turn the mode selection collar
5
to the
desiredposition. Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight
line with the bit until the fastener is seated at the
desired depth in the workpiece.
Recommendations for Screwdriving
• Start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher
torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece
orfastener.
• Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas of
the workpiece to determine the proper position of the
mode selection collar.
Drilling
IMPORTANT: For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder
block, etc., use carbide-tipped masonry bits.
1. Turn the mode selection collar
5
to the drillsymbol.
Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Place drill bit in contact with the workpiece.
NOTE: Use sharp drill bit only.
3. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight
line with the bit until it reaches the desired depth.

WARNING: Tool may stall if overloaded causing a
sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the tool
firmly to control the twisting action and avoidinjury.
4. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out
of a drilled hole to preventjamming.
Recommendations for Drilling
• When drilling, always apply pressure in a straight line
with the bit, but do not push hard enough to stall the
motor or deflect thebit.
• IF THE TOOL STALLS:
- RELEASE TRIGGER SWITCH IMMEDIATELY,
remove drill bit from work, and determine cause
ofstalling.
- DO NOT DEPRESS TRIGGER SWITCH ON AND
OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED
TOOL—THIS CAN DAMAGE THETOOL.
- To minimize stalling or breaking through the
material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit
through the last fractional part of thehole.
• Large holes (5/16" to 1/2" [7.9 mm to 12.7 mm]) in steel
can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16" [4 mm
to 4.8 mm]) is drilledfirst.
• If drilling thin material or material that is prone to
splinter, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage
to theworkpiece.
