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.
C
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additionallubrication.
Motor Brushes
DeWALT uses an advanced brush system which automatically
stops the drill when the brushes wear out. This prevents
serious damage to the motor. Brushes must be replaced
by an authorised D
eWALT repair agent with identical
replacementparts.
MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regularcleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can causeinjury.

CAUTION: 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. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being
overloaded or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER
IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine
cause of stalling. DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER ON AND OFF
IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL. THIS CAN
DAMAGE THEDRILL.
5. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material,
reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last
fractional part of thehole.
6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a
drilled hole. This will help preventjamming.
7. With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch
the point to be drilled. Use a slow speed to start the hole
and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the
hole is deep enough to drill without the bit skippingout.
Drilling in Metal
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while
applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow of metal
chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant
when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass
which should be drilleddry.
NOTE: Large 8mm to 13mm holes in steel can be made easier
if a pilot hole 4mm to 5mm is drilledfirst.
Drilling in Wood
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while
applying firm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be
made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may
overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the
flutes. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a
block ofwood.
