6
is fullycharged.
To Install the Battery Pack into the ToolHandle
1. Align the battery pack with the rails inside the tool’s
handle(Fig. B).
2. Slide it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated
in the tool and ensure that you hear the lock snap intoplace.
To Remove the Battery Pack from the Tool
1. Press the battery release button

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig.B)
Some DeWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge, which
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the batterypack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button
12
. A combination of the three green LED lights will
illuminate, designating the level of charge left. When the level
of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge
will not illuminate and the battery will need to berecharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on
the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end-userapplication.
Anvil (Fig.C)

WARNING: Use only impact accessories. Non-impact
accessories may break and cause a hazardous condition. Inspect
accessories prior to use to ensure that it con tains nocracks.

CAUTION: Inspect anvils and hog rings prior to use. Missing
or damaged items should be replaced beforeuse.
Place the switch in the locked off (centre) position or remove
battery pack before changingaccessories.
To install an accessory on the hog ring anvil, firmly push
accessory onto the anvil
3
. The hog ring
10
compresses to
allow the accessory to slide on. After 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.
Mode Selector (Fig.A, D)
Your tool is equipped with a mode selector
9
which allows you
to select one of three speeds or Precision Wrench™ mode. Select
the mode based on the maximum speed/torque needed and
control the speed of the tool using the variable speed trigger
switch
1
.
Precision Wrench™ (Fig.D)
In addition to normal impacting modes, this tool features the
Precision Wrench™ mode which grants the user greater control
in both fastening and loosening applications. When set in
forward, the tool will fasten at 1200RPM until impact begins.
The tool will then pause for 0.75 seconds before continuing
to impact at a rate of 1890IPM (DCF961)/ 2015 IPM (DCF964),
providing the user with greater control and reducing the chance
of overtightening or damagingmaterial.
When set in reverse, the tool will impact at a normal speed
and rate of 1890IPM (DCF961)/ 2015 IPM (DCF964). Upon
sensing that the fastener has broken free, the tool will cease
to impact and will reduce speed to help prevent “run-off” of
loosehardware.

best speed for a particular application. The more you squeeze
the trigger, the faster the tool will operate. For maximum tool
life, use variable speed only for starting holes orfasteners.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should beavoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig.A)
