Maintenance - DeWalt SDS plus DCH072 Instruction Manual

Drilling in Masonry
When drilling in masonry, use carbide‑tipped bits rated for
percussion drilling and be certain that the bits are sharp. Use
a constant and firm force on the tool to drill most effectively.
A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
Hammerdrill Operation (Fig. I)
1. Turn the mode selector 5
symbol 15 .
2. When drilling, use just enough force 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.
3. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work.
Do not exert side pressure on the bit when drilling as
this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower
drilling speed.
4. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to
drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with the tool
still running to help clear debris from the hole.
5. For masonry, use carbide‑tipped bits or masonry
bits. A smooth even flow of dust indicates the proper
drilling rate.

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 power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
