Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Your DEWALT power tool is double
insulated in accordance with EN 60745;
therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a specially prepared cord available through the
D
EWALT service organization.
WARNING: NEVER use a light socket.
NEVER connect the live (L) or
neutral (N) wires to the earth
pin marked E or
.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use an approved extension
cable suitable for the power input of your charger
(see technical data). The minimum conductor size is
1 mm
2
; the maximum length is 30 m.
Also refer to the table below.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
Selecting the operating mode (fig. 2)
The tool can be used in two operating modes:
Rotary drilling:
for steel, wood and plastics.
Percussion drilling:
simultaneous rotating and impacting for
concrete and masonry drilling
operations.
s Select the required operating mode by rotating
the mode selector (4) to the required position.
Fitting the side handle (fig. 1)
The side handle (6) can be fitted to suit both
RH- and LH-users.
Always use the drill with the side handle
properly assembled.
s Loosen the side handle.
s For RH-users, slide the side handle clamp over
the collar behind the chuck, handle at the left.
s For LH-users, slide the side handle clamp over
the colar behind the chuck, handle at the right.
s Rotate the side handle to the desired position
and tighten the handle.
Setting the drilling depth (fig. 3)
s Insert the required drill bit into the chuck.
s Slacken the side handle (6).
s Fit the depth adjustment rod (7) through the hole
in the side handle clamp.
s Adjust the drilling depth as shown.
s Tighten the side handle.
Keyed chuck
