X. JopmanWhen 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 flammable 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. Supervision is required for those under 16 years of age.
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
Do not carry the plugged-in tool with a finger on the switch. Be sure that the switch is released when plugging in.
13 Stay alert
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 described 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.
20 Have your tool repaired by an authorized DEWALT repair agent
This Power Tool is in accordance with the relevant safety regulations. To avoid danger, electric appliances must only be repaired by qualified technicians.

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.

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 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.
Also refer to the table below.

Assembly and adjustment

Prior to assembly and adjustment always unplug the tool.
Inserting and removing an accessory (fig. A)
This tool uses morse taper type accessories.
- Insert the tapered shank into the tool holder (8). The accessory will be automatically locked in position.
- To remove the accessory insert the drift wedge (9) into the drift wedge slot (10) and strike it with a hammer. The drift wedge can be stored in the hollow housing of the threaded side handle (6).
Fitting the side handles (fig. B)
The tool is equipped with two removable side handles (6 & 7) to operate the drill when it is used as a hand-held tool.
Threaded side handle
- Screw the handle (6) into position and tighten it.
Control side handle
- Mount the handle (7) onto the gear housing (11) using the four hexagonal screws (14) provided.
Mounting the breast plate (fig. B)
The breast plate (12) enables optimal control of the drill when it is used as a hand-held tool.
- Mount the breast plate (12) to the rear end of the tool using the fixing bolt (15) provided.

When using the drill as a hand-held tool always make sure that the side handles and breast plate are properly assembled.
Forward/reverse-switch (fig. A)
The forward/reverse action in both gears enables the tool to be used for e.g. thread tapping.
- To select forward or reverse rotation use the forward/reverse-switch (3).
R (Right) : forward rotation
L (Left) : reverse rotation

The direction of rotation must only be changed when the motor has come to a complete standstill. A safety device prevents any change of rotation if the motor is still switched ON.
Two gear selector (fig. C)
The tool is fitted with a two gear selector (4) to vary the speed/torque ratio.
- Release the ON/OFF-switch and select the required position after the motor has come to a complete standstill.
I low speed/high torque (drilling large holes) (position I)
II high speed/low torque (drilling smaller holes) (position II)
For speed rates, refer to the technical data.

Do not try to change gears at full speed or under load.
Mounting the drill onto a drill stand (fig. D)
Your drill can be mounted on a drill stand (optional) for stationary use.
- Remove the breast plate by loosening the fixing bolt.
- Remove both side handles.
- Mount the tool onto the drill stand. Make sure to tighten all fixing bolts provided with the drill stand.
Instructions for use

Using the drill as a hand-held tool (fig. A)
- Fit the side handles and the breast plate.
- Insert the appropriate accessory.
- Select the direction of rotation.
- Select the appropriate speed/torque ratio.
- To run the tool, press the ON/OFF-switch (1) in the control side handle (7).
- To stop the tool, release the ON/OFF-switch. Always switch OFF the tool when work is finished and before unplugging.
Stationary use (fig. A)
- Remove the side handles and the breast plate. - Mount the tool onto a drill stand (shown in fig. D).
