7
with the rails inside the

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some DeWALT battery packs include afuel gauge which 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 and Magnetic Bit Holder (Fig.A)
(Optional Accessories)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, DO NOT suspend tool overhead or suspend objects
from the belt hook. ONLY hang tool’sbelt hook from
aworkbelt.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ensure the screw holding the belt hook issecure.
IMPORTANT: When attaching or replacing abelt hook or
magnetic bit holder, use only the screw that is provided. Be sure
to securely tighten thescrew.
Abelt hook
10
and magnetic bit holder
12
can be be attached
to either side of the tool using only the screw
11
provided,
to accommodate left- or right-handed users. If the hook or
magnetic bit holder is not desired at all, it can be removed from
thetool.
To move belt hook or magnetic bit holder, remove the screw
11
that holds it in place then reassemble on the opposite side. Be
sure to securely tighten thescrew.
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig.A)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch
1
. To turn the
tool off, release the trigger switch. Your tool is equipped with
abrake. The chuck will stop as soon as the trigger switch is
fullyreleased.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should
beavoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig.A)
Aforward/reverse control button
2
determines the direction of
the tool and also serves as alock-offbutton.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress
the forward/reverse control button on the right side of thetool.
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control button on
the left side of thetool.
The center position of the control button locks the tool in the off
position. When changing the position of the control button, be
sure the trigger isreleased.
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the direction
of rotation, you may hear aclick on start up. This is normal and
does not indicate aproblem.
Torque Adjustment Collar (Fig.A)
Your tool has an adjustable torque screwdriver mechanism for
driving and removing awide array of fastener shapes and sizes
and in some models, ahammer mechanism for drilling into
masonry. Circling the collar
3
are numbers, adrill bit symbol,
and on some models, ahammer symbol. These numbers are
used to set the clutch to deliver atorque range. The higher the
number on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the
fastener which can be driven. To select any of the numbers,
rotate until the desired number aligns with thearrow.
Dual Range Gearing (Fig.A)
The dual range feature of your drill/driver/hammerdrill allows
you to shift gears for greaterversatility.
1. To select speed 1 (high torque setting), turn the tool off and
permit it to stop. Slide the gear shifter
4
forward (towards
the chuck).
2. To select speed 2 (low torque setting), turn the tool off and
permit it to stop. Slide the gear shifter back (away from
thechuck).
NOTE: Do not change gears when the tool is running. Always
allow the drill to come to acomplete stop before changing
gears. If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure that
the dual range gear shifter is either completely pushed forward
or completely pushedback.
Worklight (Fig.A)
There is aworklight
5
located just above the trigger switch
1
.
The worklight is activated when the trigger switch is depressed.
When the trigger is released, the worklight will stay illuminated
for up to 20seconds.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface
and is not intended to be used as aflashlight.
