Maintenance - DeWalt DCF610 Instruction Manual

Quick-Release Chuck (Fig. 2, 4)
NOTE: The chuck accepts 1/4" (6.35 mm) hex accessories and 1"
(25.4 mm) bit tips only.
Place the forward/reverse button (B) in the locked off
(center) position or remove battery pack before
changing accessories.
The bit shown in Figure 4 is typical of the bits for use
in the quick-release chuck with a groove (J) which is
required to hold the bit firmly.
To install an accessory, fully insert the accessory. The
accessory is locked into place.
To remove an accessory, pull the chuck collar
(D) away from the front of the tool. Remove the
accessory and release the collar.
Screwdriver Mode
Select the desired torque number using the torque adjustment collar
(C) on the top of tool.
Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck (D) as you would
any screwdriver bit. Make a few practice runs in scrap or unseen areas
to determine the proper position of the torque adjustment collar (C).
Drilling Mode
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
place the forward/reverse button in the lock-off position or
turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS
ensure workpiece is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material,
use a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage to the material.
Turn the collar (C) to the max position symbol for drilling.
1. Use hex shank drill bits only.
2. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
pressure to keep the bit biting, but do not push hard enough to
stall the motor or deflect the bit.
3. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the
FIG. 4
tool.
WARNING: The screwdriver may stall if overloaded causing a
sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the screwdriver firmly with
both hands to control the twisting action and avoid injury.
4. IF THE SCREWDRIVER STALLS, it is usually because it is
being overloaded or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER
IMMEDIATELY, remove bit from work, and determine the cause
J
of stalling. DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN
ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED SCREWDRIVER — THIS
CAN DAMAGE THE SCREWDRIVER.
5. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce
pressure on the screwdriver and ease the bit through the last
fractional part of the hole.
6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a hole.
This will help prevent jamming.
7. With variable speed screwdrivers, there is no need to center
punch the point to be drilled. Use a slow speed to start the hole
and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the hole is
deep enough without the bit skipping out.
MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED CAPACITY
