GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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

   • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   • 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.
   • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical Safety

   • 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.

   • 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.

   • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
     Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.. 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.

   • 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.

   • If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal Safety

   • 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.
   • Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non‑skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   • 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.
   • 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.
   • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   • 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.
   • Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4. Power Tool Use and Care

   • 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.
   • 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.
   • Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
   • 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.
   • Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
   • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   • 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.
   • Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

5. Battery Tool Use and Care

   • 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.
   • Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
   • 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.
   • 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.
   • Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
   • Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
   • Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

6. Service

   • 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.
   • Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Additional Specific Safety Rules for Drills/ Drivers/Impact Drills

• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Brace the tool properly before use. This tool produces a high output torque and without properly bracing the tool during operation, loss of control may occur resulting in personal injury.
• Hold the 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.
• 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.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering and drilling operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage.
• Hammer bits and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves when touching them.
• 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.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Safety Instructions When Using Long Drill Bits

• Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
• Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
• Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:

• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot during operation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.

Chargers

DeWALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as easy as possible to operate.

Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your DeWALT charger is double insulated in accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by DeWALT or an authorized service organization.

Mains Plug Replacement (U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:

• Safely dispose of the old plug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the plug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.

WARNING: No connection is to be made to the earth terminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good-quality plugs. Recommended fuse: 3 A.

Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of your charger (see Technical Data). The minimum conductor size is 1 mm2; the maximum length is 30 m. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.

Charging a Battery

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack 1 into the charger, making sure the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light will blink repeatedly indicating that the charging process has started.
3. The completion of the charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger. To remove the battery pack from the charger, push the battery release button 2 on the battery pack.

NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use.

Charger Operation
Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the battery pack .

The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn off and the charger will resume the charging procedure. The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate a faulty battery by refusing to light.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.

If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an authorized service center.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery pack life.

A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to the maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.

Electronic Protection system
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack against overloading, overheating or deep discharge. The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-ion battery pack on the charger until it is fully charged.

Wall Mounting
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately) at least 25.4 mm long with a screw head diameter of 7–9 mm, screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5 mm of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.

Charger Cleaning Instructions

1. To select speed 1 (high torque setting), turn the tool off and permit it to stop. Slide the speed selector 7 back (away from the chuck).
2. To select speed 2 (high-speed setting), turn the tool off and permit it to stop. Slide the speed selector 7 forward (toward the chuck).

If the tool does not change speeds, confirm that the speed selection switch is completely engaged in the forward or back position.

Mode Selection (Fig. A)
The mode selection collar 6 can be used to select the correct operating mode depending upon the planned application. To select, rotate the collar until the desired symbol aligns with the arrow.

Variable Speed Trigger and Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. A)

The tool is turned on and off by pulling and releasing the variable speed trigger switch 4. The farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the tool. Your tool is equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop as soon as the trigger switch is fully released.

A forward/reverse control button 5 determines the rotational direction of the tool and also serves as a lock-off button.

• To select forward rotation (clockwise), release the trigger and depress the forward/reverse control button on the right side of the tool.
• To select reverse (counterclockwise), depress the forward/ reverse control button on the left side of the tool.

NOTE: The centre 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: Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may damage the switch and should be avoided.
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.

OPERATION

Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/ installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start‑up can cause injury.

Proper Hand Position (Fig. E)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
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 main handle 3 and one hand on the battery pack.

Worklight (Fig. F)

There is a work light 8 located on the foot of the tool. The work light is activated when the trigger switch is depressed. When the trigger is released, the work light will stay illuminated for up to 20 seconds.

NOTE: The work light is for lighting the immediate work surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.

Performing an Application (Fig. A)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS ensure the workpiece is anchored or clamped firmly.
WARNING: Always wait until the motor has come to a complete standstill before changing the direction of rotation.

Prior to performing work:

• Set the speed selector 7. Refer to Speed Selection.
• Install the appropriate bit or accessory into the chuck. Refer to Installing a Bit or Accessory into a Keyless Chuck.

WARNING:

• Do not use this tool to mix or pump easily combustible or explosive fluids (benzine, alcohol, etc.).
• Do not mix or stir flammable liquids labeled accordingly.

Screwdriving
Your tool has a clutch with adjustable torque for driving and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes. The numbers on the mode selection collar 6 are used to set a torque range for screw driving. The higher the number on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the fastener which can be driven.

1. Turn the mode selection collar 6 to the desired position. Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight line with the bit until the fastener is seated at the desired depth in the workpiece.

Recommendations for screw driving

• Start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece or fastener.
• Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas of the workpiece to determine the proper position of the mode selection collar.

Drilling
Turn the mode selection collar 6 to the drill symbol. Refer to Mode Selection.

1. Place the drill bit in contact with the workpiece.
   NOTE: Use a sharp drill bit only.

2. Pull the trigger applying pressure in a straight line with the bit until it reaches the desired depth.
   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

3. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole to prevent jamming.

Recommendations for Drilling

• When drilling, always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
  If The Drill stalls:

  • Release Trigger switch’s immediate, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling.
  • DO NOT DEPRESS TRIGGER Switch’s On AND OFF in An ATTEMPT TO START A Stalled DRILL—This CAN DAMAGE THE DRill.
  • To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part of the hole.

• Large holes (7.9 mm to 12.7 mm) in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole (4 mm to 4.8 mm) is drilled first.

• If drilling thin material or material that is prone to splinter, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to the work piece. Hammer drilling DCD706 Only.

WARNING: Wear proper respiratory protection. Collect residual dust with a vacuum or dust collection system designed for the application.

Important : Use carbide-tipped or masonry bits rated for percussion drilling only.

1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the speed selector 7 to match the speed and torque to the planned operation. Turn the mode selection collar 6 to the hammer drill symbol.
2. Pull the trigger, applying just enough pressure on the hammer to keep it from bouncing excessively or “rising” off the bit.

Recommendations for hammer drilling

• Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds, overheating, and a lower drilling rate.
• A smooth even flow of material indicates the proper drilling rate.
• Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit when drillling as this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.
• When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with tool still running to help clear debris from the hole.
