ENGLISH
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked
at the connection points of most good quality
plugs. 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 .
Using an extension cable
An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use an approved extension
cable suitable for the power input of your charger
(see technical data). The minimum conductor size is
1 mm
2
; the maximum length is 30 m.
Assembly and adjustment
• Prior to assembly and adjustment,
always remove the battery pack.
• Always switch off the tool before
inserting or removing the battery pack.
Use only DEWALT battery packs and
chargers.
Battery pack (fig. A & B)
Charging the battery pack (fig. A)
When charging the battery pack for the first time, or
after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80%
charge. After several charge and discharge cycles,
the battery pack will attain full capacity.
Always check the mains prior to charging the battery
pack. If the mains is functioning but the battery pack
does not charge, take your charger to an authorised
DEWALT repair agent. Whilst charging, the charger
and the battery pack may become warm to touch.
This is a normal condition and does not indicate a
problem.
Do not charge the battery pack at
ambient temperatures < 4 °C or > 40 °C.
Recommended charging temperature:
approx. 24 °C.
• To charge the battery pack (9), insert it into the
charger (11) as shown and plug in the charger.
Be sure that the battery pack is fully seated in the
charger. The red charging indicator (12) will blink.
After approx. 1 hour, it will stop blinking and
remain on. The battery pack is now fully charged.
The battery pack can be removed at any time or
left in the connected charger for a longer period
of time (with a maximum of 14 days).
Inserting and removing the battery pack
• Insert the battery pack into the grip until it clicks
in place.
• To remove the battery pack, press the two
release buttons (10) simultaneously and pull the
pack out of the grip.
Battery cap (fig. B)
A protective cap is supplied to cover the contacts of
a detached battery pack. Without the protective cap
in place, loose metal objects could short circuit the
contacts, causing a fire hazard and damaging the
battery pack.
• Take off the protective cap (13) before placing
the battery pack (9) in the charger or tool.
• Place the protective cap over the contacts
immediately after removing the battery pack from
the charger or tool.
Make sure the protective cap is in place
before storing or carrying a detached
battery pack.
Inserting and removing bits (fig. A & C)
• Open the chuck by turning the sleeve (14)
counterclockwise and insert the bit shank.
