Inserting and Removing the
Battery Pack from the Tool (Fig. 2)
NOTE: For best results, make sure your battery
pack is fully charged.
TO INSTALL THE BATTERY PACK INTO THE TOOL HANDLE
1. Align the battery pack (h) with the rails inside the
tool's handle (Fig. 2).
2. Slide it into the handle until the battery pack is
firmly seated in the tool and ensure that it does
not disengage.
TO REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK FROM THE TOOL
1. Press the battery release button (i) and firmly
pull the battery pack out of the tool handle.
2. Insert battery pack into the charger as
described in the charger section of this manual.
FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 2)
Some D WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge
e
which consists of three green LED lights that
indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery
pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel
gauge button (m). A combination of the three green
LED lights will illuminate designating the level of
charge left. When the level of charge in the battery
is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the
charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate
tool functionality and is subject to variation based
on product components, temperature and end-user
application.
Variable Speed Switch (Fig. 1)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (a).
To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. Your
tool is equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop as
soon as the trigger switch is fully released.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is
not recommended. It may damage the switch and
should be avoided.
Side Handle (Fig. 1)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS operate
the tool with the side handle properly
installed. Failure to do so may result
in the side handle slipping during tool
operation and subsequent loss of
control. Hold tool with both hands to
maximize control.
The side handle (g) clamps to the front of the gear
case and may be rotated 360˚ to permit right- or
left-hand use. Side handle must be tightened
sufficiently to resist the twisting action of the tool if
the accessory binds or stalls. Be sure to grip the
side handle at the far end to control the tool
during a stall.
If model is not equipped with side handle, grip drill
with one hand on the handle and one hand on the
battery pack.
NOTE: Side handle comes equipped on all models.
Forward/Reverse Control Button
(Fig. 1)
A forward/reverse control button (b) determines the
direction of the tool and also serves as a lock off
button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch
and depress the for ward/re verse control button on
the right side of the tool.
To select reverse, release the trigger switch and
depress the forward/reverse control button on the
left side of the tool.
The center position of the control button locks the
tool in the off position. When changing the position
of the control button, be sure the trigger is released.
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. 1)
There is a worklight (c) located on the foot of the
tool. The worklight is activated when the trigger
switch is depressed. When the trigger switch is
released, the worklight will stay illuminated for up to
20 seconds.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate
work surface and is not intended to be used as a
flashlight.
Torque Adjustment Collar/Electronic
Clutch (Fig. 3–5)
Your tool has an electronic adjustable torque
screwdriver mechanism for driving and removing
a wide array of fasteners. Circling the torque
adjustment collar (e) are numbers. These numbers
are used to set the clutch to deliver a torque range.
The higher the number on the collar, the higher the
torque and the larger the fastener which can be
driven. To select any of the numbers, rotate until the
desired number aligns with the arrow.
