Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some D
WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which
e
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button.
A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate
designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge
in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
nOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on
the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end-user application.
Belt Hook (Optional Accessory) (Fig. H)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ONLY use the tool's belt hook to hang the tool from a work
belt. DO NOT use the belt hook for tethering or securing the
tool to a person or object during use. DO NOT suspend tool
overhead or suspend objects from the belt tool.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ensure the screw holding the belt hook is secure.

do so may result in the side handle slipping during tool operation
and subsequent loss of control. Hold tool with both hands to
maximize control.
The side handle
clamps to the front of the gear case and

may be rotated 360˚ to permit right- or left-hand use. The side
handle must be tightened sufficiently to resist the twisting
action of the tool if the accessory binds or stalls. Be sure to rip
the side handle at the far end to control the tool during a stall.
To loosen side handle, rotate counterclockwise.

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.
Check for damage to the tool, parts or accessories which may
have occurred during transport.
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 side handle,
with the other hand on the main handle. Hold tool firmly with
both hands to control the twisting action of the drill.
Overload Clutch
In case of jamming of a drill bit, the drive to the drill spindle
is interrupted by the overload clutch. Due to the resulting
forces, always hold the tool with both hands and take a
firm stance. After the overload, release and depress the trigger
to re-engage drive.
Mechanical Clutch
With a mechanical clutch the indication that the clutch
has activated will be an audible ratcheting together with
increased vibration.
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.
Operation Modes (Fig. F)
WARNING: Do not select the operating mode when the tool
is running.
CAUTION: Never use in Rotary Drilling or Rotary Hammering
mode with a chisel bit in the bit holder. Personal injury and
damage to the tool may result.
Your tool is equipped with a mode selector dial
mode appropriate to desired operation.
