center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.

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

Motor Brushes

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

Switches

To start drill, depress trigger switch; to stop drill, release trigger. To lock trigger in “ON” position for continuous operation, depress trigger and push up locking button “A” Figure 1, then gently release trigger. To release locking mechanism, depress 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.

THE VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH permits speed control – the farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill. NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch, drilling in metal or plastics, driving screws or drilling ceramics. Higher speeds are better for drilling wood and composition boards, and for using abrasive and polishing accessories.

THE REVERSING LEVER is used for withdrawing bits from tight holes and removing screws. It is located above the trigger switch (Fig. 2). To reverse the motor, release the trigger switch FIRST and then push the lever to the right. After any reversing operations, return lever to forward position.

Operation

DRILLING

1.Always unplug the drill when attaching or changing bits or accessories.

2.Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. For METAL, use high speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits.

3.Be sure the material to be drilled is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to the material.
