a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass
which should be drilled dry. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block,
etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling.
3. 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.
4. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill. If model
is not equipped with side handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle and one
hand on the battery pack.
WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist. Always expect
the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the twisting action and avoid injury.
5. 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 depress TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO
START A STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
6. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and
ease the bit through the last fractional part of the hole.
7. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will
help prevent jamming.
8. 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

to round shank adaptor chuck is required for the DCH213-XE. Ensure
that tool is in drill-only mode. 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 (7.9 mm to 12.7 mm [5/16" to 1/2"]) holes in steel can be made easier
if a pilot hole (4 mm to 4.8 mm [5/32" to 3/16"]) is drilled first.
DRILLING IN WOOD
An SDS Plus
®
to round shank adaptor chuck is required for the DCH213-XE. Ensure
that tool is in drill-only mode. 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. 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.
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.
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.
Chipping and Chiselling (Fig. 2)
1. Set the mode selector switch (D) to the chipping symbol (K).
2. Insert the appropriate chisel and rotate it by hand to lock it into one of
51 positions.
3. Adjust the side handle (A) as required.
4. Switch on the tool and start working.
5. Always switch off the tool when work is finished and before unplugging.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, place the forward/
reverse button in the lock-off position or turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
