DRILLING IN WOOD
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full
power while applying firm pressure on the tool.
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist
drills used for metal. These bits may overheat unless
pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes.
Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up
with a block of wood.
Keyed Chuck (fig. 4)
The DWD022/DWD022K/DWD024/DWD024K
features a keyed chuck (9). To insert a drill bit or
other accessory, follow the steps listed below.
1. Open the chuck jaws by turning collar by hand
and insert the shank of the bit about 3/4"
(19 mm) into chuck. Tighten the chuck collar by
hand.
2. Place chuck key in each of the three holes, and
tighten in clockwise direction. It's important to
tighten chuck with all three holes.
To release the bit, turn the chuck counterclockwise
in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
REMOVAL OF KEYED CHUCK (FIG. 4)
Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex
key (not supplied) of 1/4" (6 mm) or greater size.
Using a soft hammer, strike the key sharply in the
counterclockwise direction when viewed from the
front of the tool. This will loosen the chuck so that it
can be removed by hand.
KEYED CHUCK INSTALLATION (FIG. 4)
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go.
Insert the shorter end of a hex key (not supplied)
of 1/4" (6 mm) or greater size and strike it in the
clockwise direction with a soft hammer.

Motor Brushes

D WALT uses an advanced brush system which
E
automatically stops the drill when the brushes wear
out. This prevents serious damage to the motor.
New brush assemblies are available at authorized
D WALT service centers. Always use identical
E
replacement parts.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.

Cleaning

the main housing with dry air as often as
dirt is seen collecting in and around the

other harsh chemicals for cleaning the
non-metallic parts of the tool. These
