brick and concrete.
Setting the Drilling Depth (Fig. 3)
1. Insert the required drill bit into the chuck.
2. Loosen the side handle (G).
3. Fit the depth adjustment rod (H) through the hole in the side handle clamp.
4. Adjust the drilling depth as shown in Figure 3.
5. Tighten the side handle.
Keyed Chuck (Fig. 1, 4, 5)
DWE5010
The DWE5010 features a keyed chuck (D).
TO INSERT A DRILL BIT OR OTHER ACCESSORY
1. Open the chuck jaws by turning collar by hand and insert the shank of the bit about 19 mm
(3/4") into chuck. Tighten the chuck collar by hand.
2. Place chuck key 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.
REMOVAL OF KEYED CHUCK (FIG. 4)
Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex key. Using a soft hammer, strike the key 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. 5)
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go. Insert the shorter end of a hex key and strike it in
the clockwise direction with a soft hammer.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
AVERTISSEMENT : Pour réduire tout risque de dommages corporels, s’assurer
SYSTÉMATIQUEMENT que la pièce est ancrée ou arrimée solidement. Pour percer des
matériaux fins, utiliser un morceau de bois «de renfort» pour éviter de les endommager.
AVERTISSEMENT : Ne pas essayer de resserrer ou desserrer les mèches (ou tout autre
accessoire) en agrippant la partie avant du mandrin tout en mettant l’outil en marche. Cela pourrait
endommager le mandrin et poser des risques de dommages corporels.
Trigger Switch (Fig. 1)
To start the drill, depress the trigger switch; to stop the drill, release the trigger switch.
NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch, drilling in metal or plastics,
driving screws or drilling ceramics. Higher speeds are better for drilling wood and composition
boards and using abrasive and polishing accessories.
VARIABLE SPEED
A variable speed trigger switch (A) permits speed control—the farther the trigger is depressed, the
higher the speed of the drill.
For continuous operation, depress fully and hold the variable speed trigger switch, press the lock-
on button (B) in, then release the switch.
Do not lock the switch on when drilling by hand so that you can instantly release the trigger switch
if the bit binds in the hole.
The lock-on button (B) is for use only when the drill is mounted in a drill press stand or otherwise
held stationary.
To stop continuous operation, press the switch briefly and release it. Always switch the tool off when
work is finished and before unplugging.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. 6)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as
shown in Figure 6.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation
of a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle (J), with the other hand on the side
handle (G).
Drilling
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or
clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to the
material.
1. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole
saws. For METAL, use steel twist drill bits or hole saws. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement,
cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling.
2. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep drill biting,
but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
3. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill.
WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip
the drill firmly with both hands to control the twisting action and avoid injury.
4. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded or improperly used. RELEASE
TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO
NOT CLICK TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL —
THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
5. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit
through the last fractional part of the hole.
6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent
jamming.
7. With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch the point to be drilled. Use a slow
speed to start the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the hole is deep
enough to drill without the bit skipping out.
DRILLING IN METAL
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool.
A smooth even flow of metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant when
drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
NOTE:
Large [5/16" (8 mm) to 1/2" (13 mm)] holes in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole [5/32"
(4 mm) to 3/16" (5 mm)] is drilled first.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool.
Holes in 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. Work that is apt to splinter should be
backed up with a block of wood.
DRILLING IN MASONRY
When drilling in masonry, use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling and be certain that
the bits are sharp. Use a constant and firm force on the tool to drill most effectively. A smooth, even
flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool
from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
