Lanyard Connection (Fig. A, L)
Optional Accessory
Safety Warnings Specific for Use At Height

WARNING:
If the tool is dropped for any reason the lanyard connection
must be inspected and properly serviced prior to re‑use. The
lanyard connection is designed to stretch to absorb the shock
of a drop. Any permanent stretch to the connection exposing
the red marked internal coils indicates it has been compromised
and must be serviced prior toreuse.
• Do not use hang hook as lanyard attachmentpoint.
Active Vibration Control (Fig. A)
For best vibration control, hold the tool with one hand on the
main handle
6
and the other hand on the side handle
1
. Apply
just enough pressure so the Active Vibration Control
10
in the
rear handle are halfway depressed. The hammer only needs
enough pressure to engage the internal active vibration control.
Applying too much pressure will not make the tool drill faster
and active vibration control will notengage.
Electronic Overload Protection
If the drill bit becomes jammed, the power to the drill spindle
will be interrupted by the activation of the electronic overload
protection. To reactivate the power to the drive spindle, the
tool's trigger should be released and then depressed. Due to the
resulting forces, always hold the tool with both hands and take
a firmstance.
To Install the Battery Pack into the Tool Handle
1. Align the battery pack
8
with the rails inside the tool’s
handle (Fig. J).
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 release button
9
and firmly pull the battery pack
out of the toolhandle.
2. Insert battery pack into the charger as described in the
charger section of thismanual.
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
14
. 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.
Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack
