MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED CAPACITIES
DCF601
Bits drilling 3/8" (9.5 mm)
Screwdriving
Your tool has a clutch with adjustable torque for driving
and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes. The
numbers 1–15 on the mode selection collar
5
are used to
set a torque range for screwdriving. The higher the number
on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the
fastener which can be driven.
1. Turn the mode selection collar
5
to the
desiredposition. Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight
line with the bit until the fastener is seated at the
desired depth in the workpiece.
Recommendations for Screwdriving
Start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher
torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece
orfastener.
Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas of
the workpiece to determine the proper position of the
mode selection collar.
Drilling
IMPORTANT: For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder
block, etc., use carbide-tipped masonry bits.
1. Turn the mode selection collar
5
to the Maxsymbol.
Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Place drill bit in contact with the workpiece.
NOTE: Use sharp drill bit only.
3. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight
line with the bit until it reaches the desired depth.
WARNING: Tool may stall if overloaded causing a
sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the tool
firmly to control the twisting action and avoidinjury.
4. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out
of a drilled hole to preventjamming.
Recommendations for Drilling
When drilling, always apply pressure in a straight line
with the bit, but do not push hard enough to stall the
motor or deflect thebit.
IF THE TOOL STALLS:
- RELEASE TRIGGER SWITCH IMMEDIATELY,
remove drill bit from work, and determine cause
ofstalling.
- DO NOT DEPRESS TRIGGER SWITCH ON AND
OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED
TOOL—THIS CAN DAMAGE THETOOL.
- To minimize stalling or breaking through the
material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit
through the last fractional part of thehole.
Large holes (5/16" to 1/2" [7.9 mm to 12.7 mm]) in steel
can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16" [4 mm
to 4.8 mm]) is drilledfirst.
If drilling thin material or material that is prone to
splinter, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage
to theworkpiece.
