Maintenance - DeWalt DC900-XE Instruction Manual

2. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not exert side pres-
sure on the bit when drilling as this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a
slower drilling speed.
3. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off, pull the bit par-
tially out of the hole with the tool still running to help clear debris from the hole.
4. For Masonry, use carbide-tipped bits or masonry bits. A smooth, even flow of dust
indicates the proper drilling rate.
Screwdriver Operation
Select the desired speed/torque range using the three-speed gear shift lever on
the top of tool to match the speed and torque to the planned operation. Insert the
desired fastener accessory into the chuck as you would any drill bit. Set the torque
adjustment collar to the desired setting. Make a few practice runs in scrap or unseen
areas to determine the proper position of the clutch collar.
