Anvils

CAUTION:

 Use only impact sockets. Non-impact sockets may 

break and cause a hazardous condition. Inspect sock et prior to use 
to ensure that it con tains no cracks.

Place the switch in the locked off (center) position or remove battery 
pack before changing accessories.

ANVIL WITH HOG RING (FIG. 2, DCF883) 

To install a socket on the hog ring anvil, firmly push socket onto the 
anvil (J). The hog ring (K) compresses to allow the socket to slide 
on. After the socket is installed, the hog ring applies pressure to help 
provide socket retention. 
To remove a socket, grasp the socket and firmly pull it off. 

NOTE: 

Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. 

It may damage the switch and should be avoided.

Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. 2) 

A forward/reverse control button (B) 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, release the trigger switch and 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. 

Worklights (Fig. 2)

There are three worklights (G) located around the chuck collar (C). The 
worklights are activated when the trigger switch is depressed, and will 
automatically turn off 20 seconds after the trigger switch is released. 
If the trigger switch remains depressed, the worklights will remain on.

NOTE:

 The worklights are for lighting the immediate work surface and 

are not intended to be used as a flashlight. 

Quick-Release Chuck (Fig. 2, 5, 6)

NOTE:

 The chuck accepts 1/4" (6.35 mm) hex accessories and 1" 

(25.4 mm) bit tips only.
Place the forward/reverse button (B) in the lock-off (center) position or 
remove battery pack before changing accessories.
