This document is an instruction manual for the DEWALT DW130 1/2" Drill, a heavy-duty industrial tool designed for various drilling and driving applications in wood, metal, and masonry.
The DEWALT DW130 1/2" Drill is a high-torque, industrial-grade power tool primarily used for drilling holes and driving fasteners. It is built for demanding jobsite conditions and offers robust performance for professional and construction applications. The drill features a rocker switch for easy selection between forward and reverse rotation, allowing for versatile use in both drilling and driving tasks. A lock button is integrated into the switch for continuous operation, particularly useful when the drill is mounted or held firmly in a fixture, though it is explicitly cautioned against locking the switch "ON" during handheld drilling to prevent injury if the bit binds. The tool is designed with a chuck for securing various drill bits and accessories.
While specific numerical specifications like motor power (watts/amps) or RPM are not explicitly listed in the provided pages, the manual emphasizes its "high-torque" nature, indicating it's designed for demanding tasks. The chuck size is specified as 1/2", which is a common size for heavy-duty drills, accommodating a wide range of bits. The drill utilizes a double insulation system, meaning it does not require grounding and is equipped with a two-prong plug. Some models may feature polarized plugs (one blade wider than the other) for added electrical safety. The manual also includes a table for minimum gage requirements for extension cords, indicating the tool's current draw and the importance of using appropriately sized cords to prevent voltage drop and overheating. For example, for a 0-6 ampere rating, a 18 AWG cord is recommended for lengths up to 25 feet, while a 14 AWG cord is needed for 101-150 feet. For 10-12 ampere rating, a 16 AWG cord is needed for 0-25 feet, and a 12 AWG cord for 51-100 feet. Cords longer than 150 feet for this rating are "Not Recommended."
The DW130 drill is designed with user comfort and control in mind, featuring both a side handle and a multi-position spade handle. The spade handle can be attached horizontally or vertically to the rear of the drill, providing flexibility for different working angles and operator preferences. The side handle can be positioned on either side or the top of the drill, further enhancing adaptability and control, especially given the drill's high-torque output. Users are strongly advised to always use both the side handle and the switch handle and to hold the tool firmly with both hands during operation. The manual provides specific instructions for drilling in various materials:
