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 120V household electrical power. Do
not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
Chargers
Your tool uses a D WALT charger. Be sure to read all safety instructions before using your
E
charger. Consult the chart on the back cover of this manual for compatibility of chargers and
battery packs.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (H) into the charger, as shown in Figure 2, making sure the pack
is fully seated in charger. The red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the
charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
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, re-insert 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/Cold Pack Delay mode.
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 pack. Such batteries are
still usable but should not be expected to perform as much work. The charger will indicate to
replace battery pack.
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 operation of 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 (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 previously. 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. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal
chips, 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.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. 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.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess
heat or cold.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger. Under proper conditions, they can
be stored for 5 years or more.

Torque Adjustment Collar (Fig. 1, 4)
The torque adjustment collar (D) is clearly marked with numbers and a drill bit symbol.The collar
should be rotated until the desired setting is located at the top of the tool (Fig. 1). Locators are
provided in the collar to eliminate the guess work when selecting fastening torque. The higher the
number on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the fastener which can be driven. To lock
the clutch for drilling operations, move to the drill bit position.
NOTE: When using the drill/driver for drilling holes, be sure that the torque adjusting collar is set
so the figure of the drill is aligned with the center line on the top of the tool. Failure to do this will
allow the clutch to slip while attempting to drill.

part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may result.
Always lock off trigger switch when changing acces sories.
Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand on the chuck sleeve and one hand holding the tool for
maximum tightness.
CHUCK REMOVAL (FIG. 1, 6)
Turn the adjustment collar (D) to the "drill" position and gear shifter (E) to position 1 (low
speed). Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex key (not supplied) of 1/4"
(6.4 mm) or greater size. Using a wooden mallet or similar object, strike the longer end in
the clockwise direction, as shown. This will loosen the screw inside the chuck.
Open chuck jaws fully, insert screwdriver (or Torx tool if required) into front of chuck between
jaws to engage screw head. Remove screw by turning clockwise (left-hand-thread). Place
hex key in chuck and tighten, as shown in Figure 6. Using a wooden mallet or similar object,
strike key sharply in the counterclockwise direction. This will loosen the chuck so that it can
be unscrewed by hand.
CHUCK INSTALLATION (FIG. 7)
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go and insert screw (left-hand thread). Tighten
screw securely. Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a 1/4" (6.4 mm) or larger hex
key (not supplied) strike the longer end in the clockwise direction with a wooden mallet, as
shown. Tighten the screw once again by turning in a counterclockwise direction.
Drill Operation (Fig. 1)
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.
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.
Turn the collar (D) to the drill bit symbol for drilling. Select the desired speed/torque range using
the gear shifter (E) to match the speed and torque to the planned operation.
1. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits, or hole saws. For
METAL, use high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill bits or hole saws.
2. 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.
3. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill.
WARNING: The drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist. Always expect the
stall. Grip the drill firmly with both hands to control the twisting action and avoid injury.
4. 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.
5. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease
the bit through the last fractional part of the hole.
6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help
prevent jamming.
