Dewalt DC925 Drill Instructions

Battery Pack

• 1

  Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged.

• 2

  Line up the notch inside the drill's handle with battery pack. Firmly slide the pack into the handle until the lock snaps in place.

• 3

  Remove the battery pack by pressing the two release buttons on opposite sides of the battery pack and sliding the battery pack out of the drill handle.

Self-Tightening Chuck

• 4

  Clamp a drill bit or other tool in the self-tightening chuck by first locking the trigger in the "OFF" position.

• 5

  Grasp the chuck sleeve with one hand while using the other hand to hold the tool. Rotate the sleeve counterclockwise to open the chuck far enough to accept the bit.

• 6

  Insert the drill bit about 3/4-inch into the chuck. Rotate the chuck sleeve clockwise as far as it will turn. As the drill is operated, the chuck will self-tighten onto the bit.

Three Speed Transmission

• 7

  Select the torque and speed setting for your application by sliding the gear shift lever.

• 8

  Select position "1", which is furthest to the left, for the highest torque.

• 9

  Select position "2" in the middle for medium torque and speed.

• 10

  Select the highest speed setting by turning to position "3" which is all the way to the right.

Standard Drilling

• 11

  Turn the collar to the symbol representing either drilling or hammerdrilling mode according to your application.

• 12

  Use the gear shifter to select the desired speed/torque range.

• 13

  Pull the trigger to begin drilling. Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Do not push so hard that you stall the motor or deflect the bit.

• 14

  Hold the drill tightly to control twisting action caused by torque.

Hammerdrill Operation

• 15

  Turn the collar to the hammerdrill symbol.

• 16

  Pull the trigger to begin drilling. Drill straight, keeping the body of the drill in line with the bit. Apply just enough force to keep the drill bit from bouncing.

• 17

  Use carbide-tipped bits or masonry bits for drilling in masonry.

Screwdriver Operation

• 18

  Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shift lever.

• 19

  Clamp the screwdriver bit in the chuck in the same manner as you would with a standard drill bit.

• 20

  Make a few test runs driving screws in scrap pieces to determine the proper torque and speed for the size of the screw and the material.
