DRILLING IN METAL
An 'SDS shank to round shank' adaptor chuck is required.
Ensure that tool is in "rotation only" mode. (DW566 Only, DW562 has
no "rotation only" mode) 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. The cutting lubricants that work best are
sulphurized cutting oil or lard oil; bacon-grease will also serve the
purpose.
NOTE: Large (5/16" to 1/2") holes in steel can be made easier if a
pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16") is drilled first.
DRILLING IN WOOD
An 'SDS shank to round shank' adaptor chuck is required.
Ensure that tool is in "rotation only" mode. (DW566 Only, DW562 has
no "rotation only" mode) 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.

DRILLING IN MASONRY
When drilling in masonry, use carbide tipped bits rated for percussion
drilling and be certain that the bit has adequate carbide on the tip.
Ensure that the rotary hammer mode is selected. Use a constant and
firm force on the tool to drill most effectively. A smooth, even flow of
dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
Depth Rod
To adjust the depth rod, loosen the handle and move rod so that the
distance between the end of the rod and the end of the bit equals
the desired drilling depth. When drilling with depth rod, stop when
end of rod reaches surface of material.
Maintenance
CLEANING & LUBRICATION
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any
liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a
liquid.
Self-lubricating bearings are used in the tool and periodic
relubrication is not required. If service is needed, take your tool to an
authorized service location.
Accessories
Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at
extra cost from your distributor or local service center.
CAUTION: The use of any non-recommended accessory may be
hazardous.
