Maintenance - DeWalt XR Li-Ion DCF610-XE Instruction Manual

Quick-Release Chuck (Fig. 2, 4)
NOTE: The chuck accepts 6.35 mm (1/4") hex
accessories.
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 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 tool. If the
FIG. 5 FIG. 4
model is not equipped with side handle, grip the tool with one hand on the handle
and one hand on the battery pack.
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
J
improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove bit from work, and
determine the cause 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.

MAINTENANCE

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.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once
