CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the exposed charging contacts
inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited
to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always
unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting
to clean.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual. The charger
and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging D
uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and
cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk
of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the
gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge.
When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least
the minimum wire size.

• Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger on a soft surface that might block the ventila-
tion slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat source. The
charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it
to an authorized service center.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required.
Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric
shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (240 Volts). Do not attempt to use
it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
Using Automatic Tune-Up™ Mode
The Automatic Tune-Up™ Mode equalizes or balances the individual cells in the battery pack allowing it to function at
peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or after 10 charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no
longer delivers the same amount of work. To use the Automatic Tune-Up™, place the battery pack in the charger and
leave it for at least 8 hours. The charger will cycle through the following modes.
1. The red light will blink continuously indicating that the 1-hour charge cycle has started.
2. When the 1-hour charge cycle is complete, the light will stay on continuously and will no longer blink. This indicates
that the pack is fully charged and can be used at this time.
3. Whenever the pack is left in the charger after the initial 1-hour charge, the charger will begin the Automatic Tune-Up™
Mode. This mode continues up to 8 hours or until the individual cells in the battery pack are equalized. The battery
pack is ready for use and can be removed at any time during the Tune-Up™ Mode.
4. Once the Automatic Tune-Up™ Mode is complete the charger will transition to a maintenance charge; the indicator
light shuts off when the automatic Tune-Up™ Mode is complete.

Charge Indicators
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise with battery packs. Problems are indicated by the red
light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, reinsert battery pack into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery
pack to determine if the charger is OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be
returned to a service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble indication as
the original, have the charger tested at an authorized service center.

HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically
starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the charger
automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes
long, then short while in the Hot Pack Delay mode.
PROBLEM POWER LINE
Some chargers have a Problem Power Line indicator. When the charger is used with some portable power sources such as
generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend operation, flashing the red light with two
fast blinks followed by a pause. This indicates the power source is out of limits.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged.
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the battery pack has not been kept on
maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged before use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a
charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Chargers can also detect a weak battery. Such batteries are still usable but should not be
expected to perform as much work. In such cases, about 10 seconds after battery insertion, the charger will beep
rapidly 8 times to indicate a weak battery condition. The charger will then go on to charge the battery to the highest
capacity possible.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C),
or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not
indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack
in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F
D
(18° - 24°C).
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done pre-
viously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a
partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the
charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel
wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the
C
charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Don't allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result.
CAUTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks,
return to a service center for recycling.
Motor
Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. All D
this tool does not operate, check your battery pack.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
NOTE: Make sure your battery pack is fully charged.
To install the battery pack into the tool handle, align the base of the tool with the notch inside the tool's handle (Fig. 2)
and slide the battery pack firmly into the handle until you hear the lock snap into place (Fig. 3).
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release buttons (A) and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool
handle. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger manual.
OPERATION
Switch (DW059-XE) (Fig. 4)
Pressing the BOTTOM part of the rocker switch (B) runs the tool in forward (right-hand thread) direction. Pressing the
top of the switch reverses motor direction. This allows "rocking" fasteners to break them loose.
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. 4)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch. 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. The variable speed switch enables you to
select the best speed for a particular application. The more you squeeze the trigger, the faster the tool will operate. Use
lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch, drilling in metals or plastics, or driving screws. For maximum
tool life, use variable speed only for starting holes or fasteners.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may damage the switch and should be avoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. 4)
A forward/reverse control button 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 forward/reverse control button on the right side of the tool. To select
reverse, 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.
Quick Release Chuck – DW052-XE, DW054-XE, DW056-XE (Fig. 5)
NOTE: The chuck accepts 1/4" (6.35 mm) hex accessories only.
Place the switch in the locked off (center) position or remove battery pack before changing accessories.
To install an accessory, pull the chuck collar away from the front of the tool, insert the accessory, and release the col-
lar. The accessory is locked in place.
To remove an accessory, pull the chuck collar away from the front of the tool. Remove the accessory and release the
collar.
Anvil With Detent Pin (DW057-XE, DW059-XE) (Fig. 6)
Place the switch in the locked off (center) position or remove battery pack before changing accessories.
To install a socket on the anvil, align the hole in the side of the socket with the detent pin (C) on the anvil (D). Press
the socket on until the detent pin engages in the hole. Depression of detent pin may be necessary to aid installation of
socket.
CAUTION: Use only impact sockets. Non-impact sockets may break and cause a hazardous condition. Inspect sockets
prior to use to ensure that it contains no cracks.
To remove a socket, depress the detent pin through the hole, using a small pointed object, and pull the socket off.
Usage
Your impact tool generates the following output torque:
WALT 1 Hour
E
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 socket on the fastener head. Keep the tool pointed straight at the fastener.
2. Press rocker switch to start 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.
• Socket size: Failure to use the correct socket 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 fastening time results in increased fastening torque. Using a longer fastening time
than recommended could cause the fasteners to be overstressed, stripped or damaged.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
With the motor running, blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with dry air at least once a week. Wear safety glasses
when performing this procedure. Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Although
these parts are highly solvent resistant, NEVER use solvents.
CHARGER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be removed from the
exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any cleaning solutions.
