Torque
WARNING:
This is a high-torque tool. To reduce the
risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS
hold tool
firmly with both hands in the proper position for
operation as shown.
Torque is the twisting action the tool produces in regards to
the rotating fastener. As the fastener meets resistance, the
motor responds by adjusting the output torque to meet the
requirement up to the maximum capacity of the motor and
gear system.
E-Clutch® System (Fig. A)
The DFX560 is equipped with the
D
e
WALT
E-Clutch® system.
This feature senses the motion of the tool and reduces
the motor torque to a manageable level if necessary. The
E-Clutch® indicator
6
will illuminate to indicate status.

Auxiliary Handle (Fig. A)
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, always
operate the tool with the auxiliary handle properly
installed and tightened. Failure to do so may result in
the auxiliary handle slipping during tool operation and
subsequent loss of control. Hold tool with both hands to
maximize control.
An auxiliary handle
1
is provided for carrying the tool and
for use as an additional handle. Assemble the auxiliary
handle using the bolts
4
supplied. Be sure both bolts are
properly installed and tightened.
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. A)
Depressing the variable speed trigger switch
3
turns the
tool on, releasing the variable speed trigger switch turns
the tool off. The variable speed trigger switch permits speed
control—the farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the
speed of the drill.
Forward/Reverse Button (Fig. A)
A forward/reverse button
2
determines the direction of the
tool. It is located in front of the trigger switch.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch
3
and
depress the forward/reverse button on the right side of
the tool.
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse button on
the left side of the tool. When changing the position of the
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.
Keyed Chuck (Fig. A)
Open the chuck jaws by turning collar by hand and insert
the shank of the bit about 3/4" (19 mm) into chuck
5
.
Tighten the chuck collar by hand. Place chuck key
9
, Fig. A)
in each of the three holes, and tighten in clockwise
direction. It’s important to tighten chuck with all three holes.
To release the bit, turn the chuck counterclockwise in just
one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
nOTE:
When using hex shank or three-sided shank bits, be
sure to align the flat sides of the bit with the chuck jaws to
ensure the bit is properly engaged by the jaws.
Removal of Keyed Chuck (Fig. D)
Remove the left-handed chuck screw using a T25 torx
wrench, rotating clockwise to loosen. Tighten the chuck
5
around the shorter end of a hex wrench (not supplied)
of 3/8" (10 mm) size. With the tool braced securely, use
a soft hammer and strike the hex wrench sharply in the
counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front
of the tool. This will loosen the chuck so that it can be
removed by hand.
Keyed Chuck Installation (Fig. E)
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go. Insert the
shorter end of a hex wrench (not supplied) of 3/8" (10 mm)
size and strike it in the clockwise direction with a soft
hammer. Reinstall the left handed clutch screw.

and will remain on for a short time after the trigger switch
is released. If the trigger switch remains depressed, the
worklight will remain on.
