Bit and Bit Holder

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.
The hammerdrill can be fitted with different bits depending
on the desired application. Use sharp drill bitsonly.
Bit Recomendations
• 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.

during astall.
To loosen side handle, rotatecounterclockwise.

Wall Mounting
Some DeWALT 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 1” (25.4mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35” (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
depth leaving approximately 7/32” (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.
