DeWalt DC730KAR manual Dual Range Gearing fi g, Worklight fi g, Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck fi g

ENGLISH

the collar (c) are numbers, a drill bit symbol, and in some models, a hammer symbol. These numbers are used to set the clutch to deliver a torque range. The higher the number on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the fastener which can be driven. To select any of the numbers, rotate until the desired number aligns with the arrow.

Dual Range Gearing (fi g. 1)

The dual range feature of your driver/drill allows you to shift gears for greater versatility.

To select the low speed, high torque setting, turn the tool off and permit to stop. Slide the gear selector (d) forward (towards the chuck) as shown in Figure 1.

To select the high speed, low torque setting, turn the tool off and permit to stop. Slide the gear selector back (away from chuck).

NOTE: Do not change gears when the tool is running. If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual range gear selector is either completely pushed forward or completely pushed back.

Worklight (fi g. 1)

There is a worklight (e) located just above the trigger switch (a). The worklight will be activated when the trigger switch is squeezed.

NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.

Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck (fi g. 1)

Your tool features a keyless chuck (f) with one rotating sleeve for one-handed operation of the chuck. To insert a drill bit or other accessory, follow these steps.

1.Lock the trigger in the OFF position as previously described.

2.Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck with one hand and use the other hand to secure the tool. Rotate the sleeve counterclockwise far enough to accept the desired accessory.

3.Insert the accessory about 19 mm into the chuck and tighten securely by rotating the chuck sleeve clockwise with one hand while holding the tool with the other. Your tool is equipped with an automatic spindle lock mechanism. This allows you to open and close the chuck with one hand.

To release the accessory, repeat step 2 above.

WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may result. Always lock off trigger switch when changing acces sories.

Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand on the chuck sleeve and one hand holding the tool for maximum tightness.

Drill Operation (fi g. 4)

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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to the material.

1.Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use the low speed setting and twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. For METAL, use the low speed setting and steel twist drill bits

or hole saws. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling. Use low speed for bits greater than 10 mm.

2.Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.

3.Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill. If model is not equipped with side handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle and one hand on the battery pack.

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.
