Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. A)
A forward/reverse control button
the tool and also serves as a lock-off button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch
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 centre 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.
Worklights (Fig. A)

CAUTION: Do not stare into worklight. Serious eye
injury could result.
There are three worklights

collar 3 . The worklights are activated when the trigger switch
is depressed.
When the trigger is released, the worklight will stay illuminated
for up to 20 seconds.
nOTE: The worklights are for lighting the immediate work
surface and are not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Mode Selector (Fig. D)
Your tool is equipped with a mode selector
you to select one of three modes. Select the mode based on the
application and control the speed of the tool using the variable
speed trigger switch 1 .
Precision Drive (Fig. A)
In addition to normal impacting modes, this tool features the
Precision Drive mode which enables greater control in lighter
applications to avoid damage to materials or fasteners. It is ideal
for light applications such as cabinet hinge screws or machine
screws. Precision Drive mode will work as a screwdriver in light
applications, before hesitating as the screw head reaches the
workpiece, and then (if required) start a slow controlled impact
to ensure the head ends perfectly flush.
nOTE: This mode is for light duty screwdriving applications. If
the tool will not drive a fastener in Precision Mode, please select
mode 2 which will give the additional power required.
Mode 1 Precision Drive
Mode 2 Normal Impacting
Mode 3 High Speed Impacting
Quick‑Release Chuck (Fig. A, E, F)

WARNING: Use only impact accessories. Non-impact
accessories may break and cause a hazardous condition.
Inspect accessory prior to use to ensure that it con tains
no cracks.
nOTE: The chuck accepts 6.35 mm hex accessories only.

Usage (Fig. A)
Your impact tool generates the following maximum torque:
cat #
DCF85M

CAUTION: Ensure fastener and/or system will withstand
the level of torque generated by the tool. Excessive torque
may cause breakage and possible personal injury.
1. Place the accessory on the fastener head. Keep the tool
pointed straight at the fastener.
2. Press variable speed trigger switch
Release variable speed trigger switch to stop operation.
Always check torque with a torque wrench, as the fastening
torque is affected by many factors including the following:
Voltage: Low voltage, due to a nearly discharged
-
battery, will reduce fastening torque.
- accessory size: Failure to use the correct accessory size
will cause a reduction in fastening torque.
Bolt size: Larger bolt diameters generally require
-
higher fastening torque. Fastening torque will also vary
according to length, grade, and torque coefficient.
Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free of rust and other
-
debris to allow proper fastening torque.
Material: The type of material and surface finish of the
-
material will affect fastening torque.
Fastening time: Longer fasten ing time results in
-
increased fastening torque. Using a longer fastening
time than recommended could cause the fasteners to
be overstressed, stripped or damaged.
