Protecting the Environment
Separate collection. This product must
not be disposed of with normal
household waste.
Should you find one day that your D
E
WALT product
needs replacement, or if it is of no further use to you,
do not dispose of it with household waste. Make this
product available for separate collection.
Separate collection of used products
and packaging allows materials to be
recycled and used again. Re-use of
recycled materials helps prevent
environmental pollution and reduces
the demand for raw materials.
Local regulations may provide for separate collection
of electrical products from the household, at
municipal waste sites or by the retailer when you
purchase a new product.
D
E
WALT provides a facility for the collection and
recycling of D
E
WALT products once they have
reached the end of their working life. To take
advantage of this service please return your product
to any authorised repair agent who will collect them
on our behalf.
You can check the location of your nearest
authorised repair agent by contacting your local
D

WALT office at the address indicated in this
wood can be made with the same twist drills used
for metal. These bits may overheat unless pulled out
frequently to clear chips from the flutes. For larger
holes, use spade bits, power auger bits, or hole
saws. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed
up with a block of wood.
Hammerdrill Operation
1. When drilling, use 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
drilling rate.
2. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to
the work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit
when drilling as this will cause clogging of the
bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.
3. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed
starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of
the hole with the tool still running to help clear
debris from the hole.
4. For masonry, use carbide-tipped bits or
masonry bits. A smooth even flow of dust
indicates the proper drilling rate.

E
WALT power tool has been designed to
