nOTE: The tool will not run unless magnet is at 100%
engagement. An orange light will illuminate indicating the
magnet is not fully engaged.
Press the switch down (0) to shut down the tool.

the tool down if necessary. The E‑Clutch® indicator
illuminate red to indicate status.

Drilling with Annular Cutters
1. Annular cutters only cut material at the periphery of the
hole, rather than converting the entire hole to shavings.
As a result the energy required to make a hole is lower
than for a twist drill.
2. When drilling with an annular cutter, it is not necessary
to drill a pilot hole.

CAUTION: Do not touch the cutter or the parts close
to the cutter immediately after operation, as they may
be extremely hot and cause burns to the skin. Ensure
nobody is in the work area where the metal core
is ejected.
Drilling Conditions
The ease with which material can be drilled is dependent
on several factors including tensile strength and abrasion
resistance. Hardness and /or strength is the usual criterion,
wide variations in machine ability can exist among material
showing similar physical properties. The drilling conditions
are dependent on requirements for tool life and surface
finish. These conditions are further restricted by the rigidity of
the tool and the workpiece, lubrication and machine power
available. The harder the material the lower the cutting
speed. Some materials of low hardness contain abrasive
substances leading to rapid cutting edge wear at high
speeds. Feed rates are governed by rigidity of set‑up, volume

6. At the start of the cut, apply light pressure to allow the
accessory to perform the initial groove.
7. Continue applying sufficient pressure to achieve a
smooth progressive cut. Do not force.
8. Take extra care when the accessory is about to break
through the surface to prevent splintering.
9. Always turn off the motor, the magnet and the power,
in that particular order, when work is finished and before
removing the battery.

MAINTENANCE


WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start‑up can cause injury.
Your D WALT power tool has been designed to operate
e
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regular cleaning.

Optional Accessory

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start‑up can cause injury.
Your tool is Tool Connect™ Chip ready and has a location for
installation of a Tool Connect™ Chip.
Tool Connect™ Chip is an optional application for your
smart device (such as a smart phone or tablet) that connects
the device to utilize the mobile application for inventory
management functions.
Refer to Tool Connect™ Chip Instruction Sheet for
more information.
installing the Tool Connect™ Chip
1. Remove the retaining screws
Connect™ Chip protective cover
2. Remove the protective cover and insert the Tool
Connect™ Chip into the empty pocket
3. Ensure that the Tool Connect™ Chip is flush with the
housing. Secure it with the retaining screws and tighten
