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
• Set the speed selector
6
. Refer to Speed Selection.
• 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 1–11 on the mode selection collar
5
are used to
set a torque range for screwdriving. The higher the number
Worklight (Fig. A, K)
The worklight
3
and its switch
21
are located on the foot
of the tool. The worklight is activated when the trigger is
depressed. The low
18
, medium
19
and spotlight
20
modes can be changed by moving the switch on the foot
of the tool. If the trigger switch remains depressed, the
worklight will remain on in allmodes.
When on low and medium settings, the beam will
automatically turn off 20 seconds after the trigger switch
isreleased.
Spotlight Mode
The high setting is the spotlight mode
20
. The spotlight
will run for 20 minutes after the trigger switch is released.
Two minutes before the spotlight will shut off, it will flash
twice and then dim. To avoid the spotlight shutting off,
lightly tap the triggerswitch.

WARNING: While using the worklight in medium or
spotlight mode, do not stare at the light or place the
drill in a position which may cause anyone to stare into
the light. Serious eye injury couldresult.

CAUTION: When using the tool as a spotlight, be sure it is
secured on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping
or fallinghazard.

CAUTION: Remove all accessories from the chuck before
using the drill as a spotlight. Personal injury or property
damage couldresult.
Low Battery Warning
When in spotlight mode and the battery is nearing
complete discharge, the spotlight will flash twice and then
dim. After two minutes, the battery will be completely
discharged and the drill will immediately shut down. At this
point, replace with a freshbattery.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always have
a back‑up battery or secondary lighting available if the
situation warrantsit.
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.
on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the
fastener which can bedriven.
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
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: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden
twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill 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 DRILL 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 DRILL—THIS CAN
DAMAGE THEDRILL.
‑ 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.
Hammerdrilling DCD996
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.
2. Pull the trigger, applying just enough pressure on the
hammer to keep it from bouncing excessively or "rising" off
the bit.
Recommendations for Hammerdrilling
• Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds,
overheating, and a lower drillingrate.
