Operation - DeWalt DWD024S Manual

ENGLISH
TO INSERT A DRILL BIT OR OTHER ACCESSORY
1. Open the chuck jaws by turning collar by hand
and insert the shank of the bit about 19 mm
(3/4") 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. 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. 5)
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go.
Insert the shorter end of a hex key and strike it in the
clockwise direction with a soft hammer.
Keyless Chuck (fi g. 1, 6–8)
DWD024S
The DWD024S features a keyless chuck (d) for
greater convenience.
TO INSERT A DRILL BIT OR OTHER ACCESSORY
1. Grasp the rear half of the chuck with one hand
and use your other hand to rotate the front half
counterclockwise, as shown in Figure 6. Rotate
far enough so that the chuck opens sufficiently
to accept the desired accessory.
2. Insert the bit or other accessory about 19 mm
(3/4") into the chuck and tighten securely by
holding the rear half of the chuck and rotating
the front portion in the clockwise direction.
When the chuck is nearly tightened, you
will hear a clicking sound. After 4–6 clicks,
the chuck is securely tightened around the
accessory.
3. To release the accessory, repeat step 1 listed
above.
WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten
drill bits (or any other accessory) by
gripping the front part of the chuck
and turning the tool on. Damage to the
chuck and personal injury may result.
KEYLESS CHUCK REMOVAL (FIG. 7)
Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex
key (not supplied). Using a soft hammer or piece of
wood, strike the longer end in the counterclockwise
8
direction. This will loosen the chuck so that it can be
unscrewed by hand.
KEYLESS CHUCK INSTALLATION (FIG. 8)
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go.
Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex
key (not supplied) and strike the longer end in the
clockwise direction with a soft hammer.

OPERATION

Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
Trigger Switch (fi g. 1)
To start the drill, depress the trigger switch; to stop
the drill, release the trigger switch.
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 using
abrasive and polishing accessories.
VARIABLE SPEED
A variable speed trigger switch (a) permits speed
control—the farther the trigger is depressed, the
higher the speed of the drill.
For continuous operation, press and hold the
variable speed switch, press the lock-on button (b),
then release the switch.
To stop continuous operation, press the switch
briefly and release it. Always switch the tool off when
work is finished and before unplugging.
Proper Hand Position (fi g. 9)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS
use proper hand position as shown
in figure 9.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main
handle (j), with the other hand on the side handle (g).
Drilling
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect tool from
power source before making any
adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories.
