Maintenance - DeWalt DCD701 Manual

1. Turn the mode selection collar
Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Place drill bit in contact with the workpiece.
nOTE: Use sharp drill bit only.
3. Pull the trigger applying pressure in a straight line with
the bit until it reaches the desired depth.
WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a
sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the
drill firmly to control the twisting action and
avoid injury.
4. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out
of a drilled hole to prevent jamming.
Recommendations for Drilling
• When drilling, always apply pressure in a straight line
with
the bit, but do not push hard enough to stall the
motor or deflect the bit.
• iF ThE DRill sTAlls:
- RElEAsE TRiggER sWiTCh iMMEDiATElY, remove
drill bit from work, and determine cause of
stalling.
- DO nOT DEPREss TRiggER sWiTCh On AnD
OFF in An ATTEMPT TO sTART A sTAllED DRill—
This CAn DAMAgE ThE DRill.
- To minimize stalling or breaking through the
material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit
through the last fractional part of the hole.
• Large holes (7.9 mm to 12.7 mm) in steel can be
made easier if a pilot hole (4 mm to 4.8 mm) is drilled
first.
• If drilling thin material or material that is prone to
splinter,
use a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage
to the work piece.

Recommendations for hammerdrilling
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the speed
selector to match the speed and torque to the
7
planned operation. Turn the mode selection collar
to the hammerdrill symbol.
2. Pull the trigger, applying just enough pressure on the
hammer to keep it from bouncing excessively or
"rising" off the bit.
• Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds,
overheating, and a lower drilling rate.
• A smooth even flow of material indicates the proper
drilling rate.
• Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the
work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit when
drillling as this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and
a slower drilling speed.
• When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts
to drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with
tool still running to help clear debris from the hole.
