Hammerdrilling (Fig. F)
DCD797 Only
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear
shifter to match the speed and torque to the planned
operation. Turn the collar
3
to the hammerdrillsymbol.
IMPORTANT: Use carbide-tipped or masonry bits rated
for percussion drillingonly.
2. Drill with just enough force on the hammer to keep
it from bouncing excessively or "rising" off the bit.
Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds,
overheating, and a lower drillingrate.
3. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work.
Do not exert side pressure on the bit when drillling as
this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower
drillingspeed.
4. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to
drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with tool
still running to help clear debris from thehole.
NOTE: A smooth, even flow of dust from the hole indicates
proper drillingrate.
