Maintenance - DeWalt DCD701 Instruction Manual

English
nOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should
be avoided.
nOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the
direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
Worklight (Fig. F)

CAUTION: Do not stare into worklight. Serious eye
injury could result.
The worklight 7 is located on the foot of the tool. The
worklight is activated when the trigger is depressed. If the
trigger switch remains depressed, the worklight will remain
on in all modes.
The beam will automatically turn off 20 seconds after the
trigger switch is released.
nOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work
surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.

Performing an Application (Fig. A)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or
clamped firmly.

WARNING: Always wait until the motor has come to
a complete standstill before changing the direction
of rotation.
Prior to performing work:
• Set the speed selector 6
• Install the appropriate bit or accessory into the
chuck. Refer to Installing a Bit or Accessory into a
Keyless Chuck.

WARNING:
• Do not use this tool to mix or pump easily
combustible or explosive fluids (benzine,
alcohol, etc.).
• Do not mix or stir flammable liquids
labeled accordingly.
Screwdriving
Your tool has a clutch with adjustable torque for driving
and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes. The
numbers 1–15 on the mode selection collar
10
. Refer to Speed Selection.
5 are used to
set a torque range for screwdriving. The higher the number
on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the
fastener which can be driven.
1. Turn the mode selection collar
desired position. Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight
line with the bit until the fastener is seated at the
desired depth in the workpiece.
Recommendations for screwdriving
• Start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher
torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece
or fastener.
• Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas of
the workpiece to determine the proper position of the
mode selection collar.
Drilling
iMPORTAnT: For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder
block, etc., use carbide-tipped masonry bits.
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 switch applying pressure in a straight
line with the bit until it reaches the desired depth.

WARNING: Tool may stall if overloaded causing a
sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the tool
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 TOOl 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
TOOl—This CAn DAMAgE ThE TOOl.
- 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 (5/16" to 1/2" [7.9 mm to 12.7 mm]) in steel
can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16" [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 workpiece.

MAINTENANCE


WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, turn unit off and lock off the
toolremove the battery pack before making
any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
