Frequently Asked Questions - DW160V DEWALT

How to change the drill bit on the DEWALT DW160V?

To change the bit, insert the chuck key into one of the chuck holes and turn counterclockwise to loosen the jaws. Remove the old bit, insert the new one, then tighten by turning the key clockwise in each hole. Ensure the bit is securely tightened before use.

What safety instructions should be followed?

Wear safety glasses and a dust mask if necessary. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Use a residual current device (RCD) outdoors. Always disconnect the tool before any adjustment or maintenance.

What type of extension cord should be used?

Use an approved three-conductor extension cord with a minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm², suitable for the tool's power (350 W). If using a reel, unwind the cable completely.

How to clean and maintain the drill?

Regularly clean the ventilation slots with a soft cloth to prevent overheating. The drill does not require any additional lubrication. Periodically check the condition of the power cord and have it replaced by an authorized service center if damaged.

What accessories are compatible?

Only use accessories recommended in the manual, such as drill bits with diameters between 0.8 mm and 10 mm, with a suitable chuck shank (3/8 x 24 UNF). Contact your dealer for specific accessories.

What is the supply voltage?

The drill operates at 230 V. Check that your mains supply matches this voltage. The tool is double insulated, so no grounding connection is needed.

Is the drill double insulated?

Yes, the DEWALT DW160V is double insulated according to prEN 50144 (class II). This means it does not require a ground connection for safe use.

How to remove the chuck?

To remove the chuck, insert the chuck key into one of the holes and tap the key with a hammer to loosen it. Then unscrew the chuck by hand. Caution: always disconnect the tool before this operation.

What to do if the drill does not start?

First, check that the plug is properly connected and the switch is in the on position. If the problem persists, check the mains fuse (10 A recommended) and the condition of the power cord. If necessary, have the tool repaired by an authorized DeWALT service center.

What warranty is offered?

Safety instructions

When using Power Tools, always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions before attempting to operate this product.

Keep these instructions in a safe place!

General

1 Keep work area clean

Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.

2 Consider work area environment

Do not expose Power Tools to humidity. Keep work area well lit. Do not use Power Tools in the presence of inflammable liquids or gases.

3 Guard against electric shock

Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators). For use under extreme conditions (e.g. high humidity, when metal swarf is being produced, etc.) electric safety can be improved by inserting an isolating transformer or a (FI) earth-leakage circuit-breaker.

4 Keep children away

Do not let children come into contact with the tool or extension cord. Keep all people away from the work area.

5 Extension cords for outdoor use

When the tool is used outdoors, always use extension cords intended for outdoor use and marked accordingly.

6 Store idle tools

When not in use, Power Tools must be stored in a dry place and locked up securely, out of reach of children.

7 Dress properly

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. They can be caught in moving parts. Preferably wear rubber gloves and non-slip footwear when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out of the way.

8 Wear safety goggles

Also use a face or dust mask in case the operations produce dust or flying particles.

9 Beware of maximum sound pressure

Take appropriate measures for the protection of hearing if the sound pressure of 85 dB(A) is

exceeded.

10 Secure workpiece

Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is safer and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

11 Do not overreach

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

12 Avoid unintentional starting

Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the tool when you are tired.

14 Disconnect tool

Shut off power and wait for the tool to come to a complete standstill before leaving it unattended. Unplug the tool when not in use, before servicing or changing accessories.

15 Remove adjusting keys and wrenches

Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the tool before operating the tool.

16 Use appropriate tool

The intended use is laid down in this instruction manual. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. The tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

Warning! The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of any operation with this tool, other than those recommended in this instruction manual may present a risk of personal injury.

17 Do not abuse cord

Never carry the tool by its cord or pull it to disconnect from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

18 Maintain tools with care

Keep the tools in good condition and clean for better and safer performance. Follow the instructions for maintenance and changing accessories. Inspect the tool cords at regular intervals and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized DeWALT repair agent. Inspect the extension cords periodically and replace them if damaged. Keep all controls dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

19 Check for damaged parts

Before using the tool, carefully check it for

damage to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for misalignment and seizure of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other conditions that may affect its operation. Have damaged guards or other defective parts repaired or replaced as instructed.

Do not use the tool if the switch is defective. Have the switch replaced by an authorized DeWALT repair agent.

Electrical safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Your DeWALT tool is double insulated in accordance with prEN 50144; therefore no earth wire is required.

Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only)

• Should your mains plug need replacing and you are competent to do this, proceed as instructed below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorized DeWALT repair agent or a qualified electrician.
• Disconnect the plug from the supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug with bared copper conductors is dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at the connection points of most good quality plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points in the plug (see below). Brown is for Live (L) (2) and Blue is for Neutral (N) (4).
• Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the two leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.

1 2 3 4

Never use a light socket.

Never connect the live (L) or neutral (N) wires to the earth pin marked E or 12 .

For 115 V tools, use plugs to BS4343 standard.
