General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in

electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated

(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) powertool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas

inviteaccidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or

dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust

orfumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with

earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electricshock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There

is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed

orgrounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water

entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,

pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away

from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electricshock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension

cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for

outdoor use reduces the risk of electricshock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,

use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected

supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electricshock.

English

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must berepaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the

battery pack from the power tool before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power

tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power toolaccidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do

not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these

instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrainedusers.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition

that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,

have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained powertools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and

are easier tocontrol.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into account

the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those

intended could result in a hazardoussituation.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of

battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another

batterypack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of

injury andfire.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power

tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personalinjury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-

skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personalinjuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off position before connecting to power source and/

or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying

power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power

tools that have the switch on invitesaccidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the

power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating

part of the power tool may result in personalinjury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpectedsituations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving

parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in

movingparts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-relatedhazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool

for your application. The correct power tool will do the job

better and safer at the rate for which it wasdesigned.

English

• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering

operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent

eye damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator for applications that

generate dust. Ear protection may be required for mostapplications.

• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt

to operate this tool without holding it with both hands.

Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of control.

Breaking through or encountering hard materials such as re-bar

may be hazardous aswell.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration

caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and arms.

Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by taking

frequent restperiods.

• Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel reconditioning should

be done by an authorized specialist. Improperly reconditioned

chisels could causeinjury.

• Accessories and tool may get hot during operation.

Wear gloves when handling them if performing heat producing

applications such as hammerdrilling and drillingmetals.

• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete

stop. Moving bits could causeinjury.

• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge

them. Fragments of metal or material chips could dislodge and

causeinjury.

• Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened bygrinding.

• Do not overheat the bit (discoloration) while grinding a new

edge. Badly worn chisels require reforging. Do not reharden and

temper thechisel.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in movingparts.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other

metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,

or other small metal objects that can make a connection

from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals

together may cause burns or afire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,

flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek

medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause

irritation orburns.

6) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool ismaintained.

Additional Safety Instructions for Rotary

Hammers

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearingloss.

• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of

control can cause personalinjury.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when

performing an operation where the cutting accessory may

contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire

may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could

give the operator an electricshock.

• Be certain that the material being drilled does not conceal

electric or gas service and that their locations have been

verified with the utilitycompanies.

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support

the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand

or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss ofcontrol.

English

WARNING: ALWAYS wear proper personal hearing protection

that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some

conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may

contribute to hearingloss.

WARNING: ALWAYS use eye protection. All users and

bystanders must wear eye protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable

surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard.

Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery

pack but may be easily knockedover.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are

NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation

is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals

known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or

other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry

products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treatedlumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you

do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to

filter out microscopicparticles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.

Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap

and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on

the skin may promote absorption of harmfulchemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,

which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.

Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection

appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face

andbody.

English

blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced

with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs

should be returned to the service center forrecycling.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack

so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals.

For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool

boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws,

keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the

battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive

materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US

Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)

actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes

(e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are

properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual

battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and

well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a

shortcircuit.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely

damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can

explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when

lithium ion battery packs areburned.

• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,

immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery

liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15

minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed,

the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic

carbonates and lithiumsalts.

• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory

irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek

medicalattention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if

exposed to spark orflame.

immediate work surface and is not intended to be used as aflashlight.

OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn

tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making

any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or

accessories. An accidental start-up can causeinjury.

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.

English

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.

For more information regarding fuel gauge battery packs, please

contact call 1-800-4-D

WALT (1-800-433-9258) or visit our website

www.dewalt.com.

Shocks – Active Vibration Control (Fig. 2)

For best vibration control, hold the tool with one hand on the main

handle (E) and the other hand on the side handle (A). Apply just enough

pressure so the SHOCKS (I) in the rear handle are halfway depressed.

The hammer only needs enough pressure to engage the internal active

vibration control. Applying too much pressure will not make the tool drill

faster and active vibration control will notengage.

SDS Chuck (Fig. 9)

WARNING: Burn Hazard. ALWAYS wear gloves when changing

bits. Accessible metal parts on the tool and bits may get extremely

hot during operation. Small bits of broken material may damage

barehands.

To insert bit, insert shank of bit about

3/4"(19 mm) into chuck (N). Push and

rotate bit until it locks in place. The bit will

be securelyheld.

To release bit, pull the sleeve (O) back

and remove thebit.

Proper Hand Position

(Fig. 10)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS

use proper hand position asshown.

FIG. 9

NOTE: Operating temperature of this tool is 19° to 104°F (-7° to

+40°C). Using the tool outside of this temperature range will decrease

the life of thetool.

FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 8)

Some D

WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of

three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in

the battery pack.

The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge

remaining in the battery pack according to the following

indicators:

75–100% charged

51–74% charged

< 50% charged

Pack needs to be charged

To actuate the fuel gauge, press and

FIG. 8

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.

English

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS

hold securely in anticipation of a suddenreaction.

Proper hand position requires one hand on the side handle, with the

other hand on the mainhandle.

FIG. 10

Drilling (Fig. 4)

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.

NOTICE: If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to

prevent damage to thematerial.

1. Turn the mode selector (D) to the drill symbol (J).

2. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist bits, spade bits,

power auger bits or hole saws. For METAL, use high-speed steel

twist drill bits or hole saws. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling

metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be

drilled dry. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block,

etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussiondrilling.

3. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough

pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall

the motor or deflect thebit.

4. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of

the drill. If model is not equipped with side handle, grip drill with one

hand on the handle and one hand on the batterypack.

WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist.

Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the twisting

action and avoidinjury.

5. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded

or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY,

remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO

NOT DEPRESS TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT

TO START A STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE

THEDRILL.

6. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce

pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part of

thehole.

. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled

hole. This will help preventjamming.

. With variable speed drills 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 to drill without the bit skippingout.

DRILLING IN METAL

An SDS Plus to round shank adaptor chuck is required. Ensure that

tool is in drill-only mode. Start drilling with slow speed and increase to

full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow

of metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant

when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which

should be drilleddry.

English

NOTE: Large (5/16" to 1/2" [7.9 mm to 12.7 mm]) holes in steel can

be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16" [4 mm to 4.8 mm]) is

drilledfirst.

DRILLING IN WOOD

An SDS Plus to round shank adaptor chuck is required. Ensure that tool

is in drill-only mode. Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full

power while applying firm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be

made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may overheat

unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. For larger

holes, use spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. Work that is apt

to splinter should be backed up with a block ofwood.

DRILLING IN MASONRY

When drilling in masonry, use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion

drilling and be certain that the bits are sharp. Use a constant and firm

force on the tool to drill most effectively. A smooth, even flow of dust

indicates the proper drillingrate.

HAMMERDRILL OPERATION (FIG. 4)

1. Turn the mode selector (D) to the rotary hammer symbol (K).

2. When drilling, use just enough force on the hammer to keep it from

bouncing excessively or “rising” off the bit. Too much force will

cause slower drilling speeds, overheating, and a lower drillingrate.

3. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not

exert side pressure on the bit when drilling as this will cause

clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drillingspeed.

4. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off,

pull the bit partially out of the hole with the tool still running to help

clear debris from thehole.

5. For masonry, use carbide-tipped bits or masonry bits. A smooth

even flow of dust indicates the proper drillingrate.

Chipping and Chiselling (Fig. 4)

1. Set the mode selector switch (D) to the chipping symbol (L).

2. Insert the appropriate chisel and rotate it by hand to lock it into one

of 51positions.

3. Adjust the side handle (A) asrequired.

4. Switch on the tool and startworking.

5. Always switch off the tool when work is ﬁnished and

beforeunplugging.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn

tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making

any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or

accessories. An accidental start-up can causeinjury.

Avertissements de sécurité généraux pour

les outils électriques

AVERTISSEMENT! Lire toutes les directives et toutes les

consignes de sécurité. Le non-respect des avertissements

et des directives pourrait se solder par un choc électrique, un

incendie et/ou une blessuregrave.

CONSERVER TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS

ET TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES POUR UN

USAGE ULTÉRIEUR

Le terme « outil électrique » cité dans les avertissements se rapporte

à votre outil électrique à alimentation sur secteur (avec fil) ou par piles

(sans fil).

1) SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL

a) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les lieux

encombrés ou sombres sont propices auxaccidents.

b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques dans un

milieu déflagrant, tel qu’en présence de liquides, de

gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques

produisent des étincelles qui pourraient enflammer la poussière

ou lesvapeurs.

c) Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité pendant

l’utilisation d’un outil électrique. Une distraction pourrait en

faire perdre la maîtrise à l’utilisateur.

2) SÉCURITÉ EN MATIÈRE D’ÉLECTRICITÉ

a) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre

à la prise. Ne jamais modifier la fiche d’aucune façon.

Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d’adaptation avec un outil

électrique mis à la terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera

réduit par l’utilisation de fiches non modifiées correspondant à

laprise.

b) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la

terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières

et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique est plus

élevé si votre corps est mis à laterre.

c) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à

l’humidité. La pénétration de l’eau dans un outil électrique

augmente le risque de chocélectrique.
