Description (fig. A)

Your DEWALT drill has been designed for professional drilling and screwdriving applications.

1 Variable speed switch
2 Lock-on button
3 Forward/reverse switch
4 Two gear selector
5 Side handle
6 Depth adjustment rod
7 Keyless chuck

Torque limiting clutch

All rotary drills are equipped with a torque limiting clutch that reduces the maximum torque reaction transmitted to the operator in case of jamming of a drill bit. This feature also prevents the gearing and electric motor from stalling. The torque limiting clutch has been factory-set for heavy duty performance and cannot be adjusted.

For safe operation, always use the side handle, particularly when working in the low speed/high torque position (1st gear).

Synchronized gear shifting mechanism

Your drill is equipped with a synchronized gear shifting mechanism which allows to use the two gear selector when the tool is switched OFF or running under no load condition.

Electronic speed control

The electronic speed control offers the following advantages:

• optimal tool control for accurate drilling
• easier screwdriving

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 EN 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 1= .

For 115 V units with a power rating exceeding 1500 W, we recommend to fit a plug to BS4343 standard.

Using an extension cable

If an extension cable is required, use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of this tool (see technical data). The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm^2 . When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
