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.
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
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. -
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 Rules for Drills
- 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 or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
- Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
- 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. Drilling operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage.
- Bits and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves when touching them.
- Keep handles dry, clean, free from oil and grease. it is recommended to use rubber gloves. This will enable better control of the tool.
- Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets
Ampere Rating| Volts| Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters)
120V| 25 (7.6)| 50 (15.2)| 100 (30.5)| 150 (45.7)
240V| 50 (15.2)| 100 (30.5)| 200 (61.0)| 300 (91.4)

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.
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.

INTENDED USE
This heavy-duty V.S.R. drill is designed for professional drilling.
DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
These heavy-duty drills are professional power tools.
DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is required
when inexperienced operators use this tool.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Forward/Reverse Lever (Fig. 1)
The forward/reverse lever (C) is used for withdrawing bits from tight holes
and removing screws.
It is located above the trigger switch.
To reverse the motor, release the trigger switch FIRST and then push the lever
to the right (viewed when holding the drill in the operating position).
After any reversing operations, return lever to forward position.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it
from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting
or when making repairs. 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.
WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten or loosen drill bits (or any other
accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the tool on.
Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur.
Trigger Switch (Fig. 1)
To start the drill, depress the trigger switch; to stop the drill, release the
trigger switch.
NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch,
drilling in metal or plastics, driving screws or drilling ceramics. Higher
speeds are better for drilling wood and composition boards and using abrasive
and polishing accessories.
VARIABLE SPEED
A variable speed trigger switch (A) permits speed control—the farther the
trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill.
For continuous operation, depress fully and hold the variable speed trigger
switch, press the lock-on button (B) in, then release the switch.
Do not lock the switch on when drilling by hand so that you can instantly
release the trigger switch if the bit binds in the hole.
The lock-on button (B) is for use only when the drill is mounted in a drill
press stand or otherwise held stationary.
To stop continuous operation, press the switch briefly and release it. Always
switch the tool off when work is finished and before unplugging.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. 1, 2)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper
hand position as shown in Figure 2.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand under the the housing, with the other
hand on the main handle (G).
Drilling
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.
-
Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. For METAL, use steel twist drill bits or hole saws.
-
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.
-
Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill.
-
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 CLICK TRIGGER 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.
-
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
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.
NOTE: Large [5/16″ (8 mm) to 1/2″ (13 mm)] holes in steel can be made
easier if a pilot hole [5/32″ (4 mm) to 3/16″ (5 mm)] is drilled first.
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.
Keyed Chuck (Fig. 1, 3, 4)
The DWE1014 features a keyed chuck (D).
TO INSERT A DRILL BIT OR OTHER ACCESSORY
- Open the chuck jaws by turning collar by hand and insert the shank of the bit about 19 mm (3/4″) into chuck. Tighten the chuck collar by hand.
- Place chuck key in each of the three holes, and tighten in clockwise direction. It’s important to tighten chuck with all three holes.
To release the bit, turn the chuck counterclockwise in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
REMOVAL OF KEYED CHUCK (FIG. 3)
Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex key. Using a soft hammer, strike the key sharply in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front of the tool. This will loosen the chuck so that it can be removed by hand.
KEYED CHUCK INSTALLATION (FIG. 4)
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go. Insert the shorter end of a hex key and strike it in the clockwise direction with a soft hammer.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at
least once a week.
To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye
protection when performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non- metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic 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.
Motor Brushes
DEWALT 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 DEWALT service centers. Always use identical replacement parts.
