To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and
depress the forward/reverse control button on the right side of
the tool.
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control button on
the left side of the tool. The center 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: 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.
Worklights (Fig. A)
There are three worklights
7
located around the anvil
the chuck collar
3
. The worklights will be activated when the
trigger switch is squeezed.
nOTE: The worklights are for lighting the immediate work
surface and are not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Anvil with Hog Ring (Fig. A, D)
DCF813
WARNING: Use only impact accessories. Non-impact
accessories may break and cause a hazardous condition.
Inspect accessory prior to use to ensure that it contains
no cracks.
CAUTION: Inspect anvils and hog rings prior to use.
Missing or damaged items should be replaced before use.
Place the forward/reverse button
position or remove battery pack before changing accessories.
To install an accessory on the hog ring anvil, firmly push
accessory onto the anvil
9
. The hog ring
allow the accessory to slide on. After accessory is installed, the
hog ring applies pressure to help provide accessory retention.
To remove an accessory, grasp the accessory and firmly pull
it off.
Quick-Release Chuck (Fig. A, D)
DCF815
nOTE: The chuck accepts 6.35 mm hex accessories and
25.4 mm bit tips only. Using 25.4 mm bits allows better access
in tight spaces.
Place the forward/reverse button
position or remove battery pack before changing accessories.
To install an accessory, push accessory to fully insert into
chuck
4
. The chuck collar
3
does not need to be pulled up to
lock accessory in place.
To remove an accessory, pull the chuck collar
from the front of the tool. Remove the accessory and release
the collar.

CAUTION: Ensure fastener and/or system will withstand
the level of torque generated by the tool. Excessive torque
may cause breakage and possible personal injury.
1. Place the socket on the fastener head. Keep the tool pointed
straight at the fastener.
2. Press switch to start operation. Always check torque with a
torque wrench, as the fastening torque is affected by many
factors including the following:
-
Voltage: Low voltage, due to a nearly discharged
battery, will reduce fastening torque.
socket size: Failure to use the correct socket size will
-
cause a reduction in fastening torque.
-
Bolt size: Larger bolt diameters generally require
higher fastening torque. Fastening torque will also vary
according to length, grade, and torque coefficient.
-
Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free of rust and other
debris to allow proper fastening torque.
-
Material: The type of material and surface finish of the
material will affect fastening torque.
-
Fastening Time: Longer fasten ing time results in
increased fastening torque. Using a longer fastening
time than recom mended could cause the fasteners to
be overstressed, stripped or damaged.
MAINTENANCE
Your D
WALT power tool has been designed to operate
e
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 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.
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
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.
