Opsætning

1. Installation og fjernelse af batteri

This DEWALT DCD996NT is supplied as a bare unit, meaning the battery and charger are not included. It is compatible with all DEWALT 18V XR Li-ion battery packs. To install a battery, align the battery pack with the rails inside the tool's handle and slide it in until it clicks securely into place. To remove, press the battery release button and pull the battery pack out.

2. Montering af hjælpehåndtaget

The auxiliary handle provides additional control and stability, especially during high-torque applications or when using the hammer drill function. To attach, loosen the handle by twisting it counter-clockwise. Slide the handle over the chuck and onto the front of the drill housing. Position it to your desired angle and tighten by twisting clockwise until secure.

3. Montering og afmontering af bor/tilbehør

The DCD996NT features a 13mm keyless chuck for quick and easy accessory changes. To install an accessory, rotate the chuck collar counter-clockwise until the jaws are open wide enough to insert the bit. Insert the bit fully into the chuck. Rotate the chuck collar clockwise to tighten the jaws securely around the bit. Ensure the bit is centered and firmly gripped before operation. To remove, rotate the chuck collar counter-clockwise to release the bit.

Betjeningsvejledning

1. Trigger Switch and Variable Speed Control

The tool is activated by pressing the trigger switch. The speed is variable; the further the trigger is pressed, the faster the tool operates. Release the trigger to stop the tool. For continuous operation, some models may feature a lock-on button, but this model primarily uses trigger control for precise speed management.

2. Frem/tilbage-kontrol

A selector switch located above the trigger controls the direction of rotation. Push the switch to the left for forward rotation (drilling/screwing in) and to the right for reverse rotation (removing screws). Position the switch in the center to lock the trigger and prevent accidental startup.

3. Speed Selector (Gearbox)

The DCD996NT features a 3-speed all-metal transmission. Use the gear selector switch located on top of the drill to choose between three speed ranges:

• Hastighed 1 (Lav): For high torque applications, large diameter drilling, and driving screws.
• Hastighed 2 (Mellem): For general drilling and screwdriving.
• Hastighed 3 (Høj): For small diameter drilling and fast work progress.

Always select the appropriate speed for the material and accessory being used. Change gears only when the tool is stopped.

4. Torque Control and Mode Selector

The collar behind the chuck allows you to select the operating mode and adjust the torque for screwdriving applications. Rotate the collar to select one of the following:

• Screwdriving (1-11): Use these settings to control the amount of torque applied when driving screws. The higher the number, the greater the torque. This prevents over-driving screws or damaging the workpiece.
• Boretilstand (): For drilling into wood, metal, and plastics without impact. The clutch is disengaged, providing maximum torque.
• Hammerboremaskine-tilstand (): For drilling into masonry and concrete with impact action. The clutch is disengaged, and the hammer mechanism is engaged.

5. LED arbejdslys

The DCD996NT features an integrated LED work light to illuminate the work area. A selector switch below the handle allows you to choose between three settings:

• Slukket: Lyset er slukket.
• On (Low Brightness): Light illuminates for 20 seconds after the trigger is released.
• On (High Brightness): Light stays on for 20 minutes, functioning as a work light.

Opretholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your DEWALT DCD996NT combi drill.

• Rensning: Keep the ventilation slots clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean the tool. Do not use water or chemical cleaners.
• Vedligeholdelse af borepatron: Rengør spændepatronens kæber med jævne mellemrum for at sikre korrekt greb om borene.
• Børsteløs motor: This tool features a brushless motor, eliminating the need for carbon brush replacement, which simplifies maintenance.
• Opbevaring: Store the tool in a dry, secure location out of reach of children. If storing for extended periods, remove the battery pack. The included TSTAK box (if applicable) provides excellent protection for storage and transport.
