Torque limiting clutch
All Rotary Drills are equipped with a torque limiting
clutch that reduces the maximum torque reaction
transmitted to the operator in case of jamming of a
drill bit. This feature also prevents the gearing and
electric motor from stalling. The torque limiting
clutch has been factory-set for heavy duty
performance and cannot be adjusted.
For safe operation, always use the side
handle, particularly when working in the
low speed/high torque position (1st gear).
Synchronized gear shifting mechanism
Your drill is equipped with a synchronized gear
shifting mechanism which allows to use the two gear
selector when the tool is switched OFF or running
under no load condition.
Electronic speed control
The electronic speed control offers the following
advantages:
- optimal tool control for accurate drilling
- easier screwdriving
Electrical safety
The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Your D
WALT tool is double insulated in
E
accordance with EN 50144; therefore no
earth wire is required.
Mains plug replacement
(U.K. & Ireland only)
• Should your mains plug need replacing and you
are competent to do this, proceed as instructed
below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorized
D
WALT repair agent or a qualified electrician.
E
• Disconnect the plug from the supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug
with bared copper conductors is dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs
fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked
at the connection points of most good quality
plugs.
en - 4
Attach the wires to their respective points in the
plug (see below). Brown is for Live (L) (2) and
Blue is for Neutral (N) (4).
• Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug
ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the
outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the two
leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.
Never use a light socket.
Never connect the live (L) or neutral (N)
wires to the earth pin marked E or
For 115 V units with a power rating exceeding 1500 W,
we recommend to fit a plug to BS4343 standard.
Using an extension cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved
extension cable suitable for the power input of this
tool (see technical data). The minimum conductor
2
size is 1.5 mm
. When using a cable reel, always
unwind the cable completely.
