DeWalt DW953 Manual page 27

2 high speed/low torque
(drilling smaller holes)
For speed rates, refer to the technical data.
• Always push the two gear selector
completely forward or backward.
• Do not change gears at full speed or
during use.
Removing and fitting the chuck (fig. F & G)
• Open the chuck jaws as far as possible.
• Insert a screwdriver into the chuck and remove
the chuck retaining screw by turning clockwise
as shown in figure F.
• Tighten an Allen key into the chuck and strike it
with a hammer as shown in figure G. This will
loosen the chuck so that it can be unscrewed
by hand.
• To refit the chuck, proceed in reverse order.
Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Be aware of the location of pipework
and wiring.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool.
Excessive force does not speed up
drilling but decreases tool performance
and may shorten tool life.
• To minimise stalling on break-through,
progressively reduce the drill point
pressure towards the end of the operation.
• Keep the motor running when pulling the
bit back out of a drilled hole. This will
help prevent jamming.
Prior to operation:
• Make sure your battery pack is (fully) charged.
• Insert the appropriate bit.
• Mark the spot where the hole is to be drilled.
• Select forward or reverse rotation.
Switching ON and OFF (fig. A & D)
• To run the tool, press the variable speed switch (1).
The pressure exerted on the variable speed switch
determines the tool speed.
21
• To stop the tool, release the switch.
• To lock the tool in OFF-position, move the
forward/reverse slider (2) to the central position.
The drill is equipped with a brake to stop
the tool as soon as the variable speed
switch is fully released.
Screwdriving (fig. A)
• Select forward or reverse rotation using the slider (2).
• Set the collar (4) to position 1 and begin
screwdriving (low torque).
• If the clutch ratchets too soon, adjust the collar
to increase the torque as required.
Drilling (fig. A)
• Select the drilling mode using the collar (4).
Drilling in metal
• Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass which
should be drilled dry.
Drilling in wood
• 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.
• For larger holes use Auger bits.
• Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that
may splinter.
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.
