General Safety Rules

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instruc- tions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam- mable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified elec- trician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user. The DW223G and the DW235G units are grounded.

Applicable only to Class I (grounded) tools.

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation elim- inates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double insulated) tools. The DW217, DW221, DW222, DW223, DW226, DW231, DW235, DW236, DW245 and DW246 units have a polarized plug. The DW217, DW221, DW222, DW223, DW223-220, DW226, DW231, DW235, DW235-220, DW236, DW238, DW239, DW245, DW246, DW248 and DW249 units are double insulated. The DW223-220, and DW235-220 units are rated at 230 volts and they are fitted with the 220 volt style plug which is not polarized.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an out- let. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W.” These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num-

ber, the heavier the cord.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, chang- ing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dan- gerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Additional Safety Rules

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

Keep handles dry, clean, free from oil and grease. It is recommended to use rubber gloves. This will enable better control

DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL when drilling or driving into walls, floors or wherever live electrical wires may be encountered. Hold the tool only by insulated grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if you drill or drive into a live wire.

CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con- struction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other repro- ductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

lead from lead-based paints,

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory pro- tection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

Anti-Lock Control (DW239, DW249)

Your DEWALT drill may come with an electronic feature called Anti-Lock Control. It is designed to help you control the drill during a stall and keep it from pulling out of your hands. This may be encountered when drilling in steel or using large bits in wood.

As a stall situation presents itself, the motor cycles on and off for a set period of time. This takes up the reaction of the stall and allows you to keep the drill under control. The speed con- trol senses your release of the trigger and resets the motor to run again.

Figure 4 shows the instruction label mounted behind it. There are three alert signals.

1.Check Level: One flash each time the trigger is depressed. Everything is functioning sat- isfactorily. If there is no flash, the tool should be returned to a DEWALT authorized service center for repair.

2.Engaged Level: Should a stall condition still exist, the electronics will shut down the tool and the light will be steady on. When the unit is running in normal mode, there will be no light.

3.Alert Mode: A series of continual flashes as the trigger is pulled indicates that the elec- tronics are no longer functioning. The tool may still be able to function without the benefit of AntiLock Control but should be serviced as soon as possible.

Motor Brushes

DEWALT uses an advanced brush system which automatically stops the drill when the brush- es wear out. This prevents serious damage to the motor.

Switch

To start drill, depress trigger switch; to stop the drill, release trigger. To lock trigger in the on position for continuous operation, depress trigger and push up locking button “A” shown in fig- ure 1, then gently release the trigger. To release the locking mechanism, depress the trigger fully, then release it. Before using the tool each time, be sure that the locking button release mechanism is working freely.

Do not lock the switch on when drilling by hand so that you can instantly release the trigger switch if the bit binds in the hole.

The locking button is for use only when the drill is mounted in a drill press stand or otherwise held stationary.

Be sure to release the locking button before disconnecting the plug from the power supply. Failure to do so will cause the tool to start immediately the next time it is plugged in. Damage or injury could result.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

THE VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH

This switch permits speed control: the farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill.
