DRILLING IN WOOD
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. 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 percus-
sion 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.
MAINTENANCE
Your D E WALT power tool has been designed to operate over a
long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular
cleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect tool from power source before installing and removing
accessories, before making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories.
Motor Brushes
D E WALT uses an advanced brush system which automatically stops
the drill when the brushes wear out. This prevents serious damage
to the motor. New brush assemblies are available at authorized
D
E WALT service centers. Always use identical replacement parts.
Lubrication
Self-lubricating bearings are used in the tool and periodic
relubrication is not required. In the unlikely event that service is ever
needed, take your tool to an authorized service location.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry
air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the air vents.
Wear approved eye protection and approved dust mask when
performing this procedure.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may
weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
