the charger. The red charging indicator (12) will

blink. After approx. 1 hour, it will stop blinking

and remain on. The battery pack is now fully

charged and the charger automatically switches

to equalise mode. After approx. 4 hours, it will

switch to maintenance charge mode. The battery

pack can be removed at any time or left in the

connected charger indefinitely.

• The red charging indicator flashes rapidly to

indicate a charging problem. Reinsert the battery

pack or try a new one. If the new pack also

refuses to charge, have your charger tested by

an authorized DEWALT repair agent.

• When plugged into power sources such as

generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the

red charging indicator may blink twice, switch

OFF and repeat. This indicates a temporary

problem of the power source. The charger will

automatically switch back to normal operation.

Inserting and removing the battery pack

• Insert the battery pack into the grip (8) until it

clicks in place.

• To remove the battery pack, press the two

release buttons (10) simultaneously and pull the

pack out of the grip (8).

Equalization mode

The equalization mode helps to maintain the

optimum capacity of the battery pack. It is therefore

recommended to use the equalization mode monthly

or every 20 charge/discharge cycles.

• Charge the battery pack as described above.

• When the charging indicator stops blinking, leave

the battery in the charger for approx. 4 hours.

DE9108/DE9116 - Hot Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery that is hot, it

automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending

charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery

has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the

pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum

battery life. The red indicator (12) blinks long, then

short while in the Hot Pack Delay mode.

Inserting and removing bits (fig. A & B)

Your drill is equipped with a bit holder (7).

• Open the chuck by turning the sleeve (13)

counterclockwise and insert the bit shank.

• Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go and

lift slightly before tightening.

• Tighten firmly by turning the sleeve clockwise.

• To remove the bit, proceed in reverse order.

Selecting the operating mode or adjusting the

torque (fig. C)

The collar of this tool has 15 positions for the

adjustment of the torque to suit the size of the screw

and the workpiece material. For torque adjustment,

refer to the section “Screwdriving”.

• Select the drilling mode or torque by aligning the

symbol or number on the collar (5) with the

indicator (14) on the housing.

Forward/reverse slider (fig. D)

• To select forward or reverse rotation, use the

forward/reverse slider (2) as shown (see arrows

on tool).

Always wait until the motor has come to

a complete standstill before changing the

direction of rotation.

Two gear selector (fig. E)

Your tool is fitted with a two gear selector (6) to vary

the speed/torque ratio.

1 low speed/high torque

(drilling large holes, driving screws)

2 high speed/low torque (drilling smaller holes)

For speed rates, refer to the technical data.

• Always push the two gear selector

completely forward or backward.

• Do not change gears at full speed or

during use.
