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.
Optional Accessories
WARNING: Since accessories, other
than those offered by DEWALT, have
not been tested with this product, use
of such accessories with this tool could
be hazardous. To reduce the risk of
injury, only DEWALT recommended
accessories should be used with this
product.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury, only use DEWALT impact-ready
accessories.
accessory is installed, the hog ring applies pressure
to help provide accessory retention.
To remove an accessory, grasp the accessory and
firmly pull it off.
Usage
Your impact tool can generate the following
maximum torque:
Cat # Nm Ft.-Lbs. In.-Lbs.
DCF899, DCF899H 950 700 8400
WARNING: Ensure fastener and/
or system will withstand the level
of torque generated by the tool.
Excessive torque may cause
breakage and possible personal
injury.
1. Place the accessory on the fastener head. Keep
the tool pointed straight at the fastener.
2. Press switch to start operation. Release switch
to stop operation. Always check torque with
a torque wrench, as the fastening torque is
affected by many factors including the following:
• Voltage: Low voltage, due to a nearly
discharged battery, will reduce fastening
torque.
• Accessory size: Failure to use the correct
accessory size will cause a reduction in
fastening torque.
• Bolt size: Larger bolt diameters generally
require higher fastening torque. Fastening
torque will also vary according to length,
grade, and torque coefficient.
• Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free of rust
and other debris to allow proper fastening
torque.
• Material: The type of material and surface
finish of the material will affect fastening
torque.
• Fastening time: Longer fasten ing time
results in increased fastening torque.
Using a longer fastening time than recom-
mended could cause the fasteners to be
overstressed, stripped or damaged.
