nOTE: It is highly recommended that battery packs with oil
resistant housings (glass filled nylon, designated by a G suffix
in the model number) be used. For best results, make sure
your battery pack is fully charged.
To install the battery pack
and hold the carry handle release button
carry handle
into the vertical position. Align the battery

pack with the rails inside the battery port and slide it in until
the battery pack is firmly seated in the tool and ensure that it
does not disengage.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press and hold
the carry handle release button

into the vertical position. Press the release
button

and firmly pull the battery pack out of the battery
port. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger
section of this manual.
nOTE: If the battery is still difficult to remove with the carry
handle in the vertical position, press and hold the carry
handle release button and push the carry handle a little
further towards the front of the tool to create more space for
the battery to be removed.
Prior to operation
WARNING: Inspect the chain before each use, for wear
or damage. Replace if necessary.
Try a few simple projects using scrap material until you
develop a "feel" for the machine.
Switching On and Off (Fig. A)
In order to operate properly, the machine has to be switched
following the procedure as described below.
Switching the power on and off
WARNING: In a vertical or upside down application,
the tool will drop off from the workpiece if the magnet
engagement lever is NOT at the 100% position.
Push the power switch

nOTE: The tool will not run unless magnet is at 100%
engagement. An orange light will illuminate indicating the
magnet is not fully engaged.
Press the switch down (0) to shut down the tool.
ANTI‑ROTATION System (Fig. L)
The DCD1624 is equipped with the D
system. This feature senses the motion of the tool and shuts
the tool down if necessary. The ANTI‑ROTATION indicator
will illuminate red to indicate status.

Drilling with Annular Cutters
1. Annular cutters only cut material at the periphery of the
hole, rather than converting the entire hole to shavings.
As a result the energy required to make a hole is lower
than for a twist drill.
2. When drilling with an annular cutter, it is not necessary
to drill a pilot hole.
CAUTION: Do not touch the cutter or the parts close
to the cutter immediately after operation, as they may
be extremely hot and cause burns to the skin. Ensure
nobody is in the work area where the metal core
is ejected.
Drilling Conditions
The ease with which material can be drilled is dependent
on several factors including tensile strength and abrasion
resistance. Hardness and /or strength is the usual criterion,
wide variations in machine ability can exist among material
showing similar physical properties. The drilling conditions
are dependent on requirements for tool life and surface
finish. These conditions are further restricted by the rigidity of
the tool and the workpiece, lubrication and machine power
available. The harder the material the lower the cutting
speed. Some materials of low hardness contain abrasive
substances leading to rapid cutting edge wear at high
speeds. Feed rates are governed by rigidity of set‑up, volume
of material to be removed, surface finish and available
machine power.

5. Slowly feed the accessory into the workpiece using the
feed handle
6. At the start of the cut, apply light pressure to allow the
accessory to perform the initial groove.
7. Continue applying sufficient pressure to achieve a
smooth progressive cut. Do not force.
8. Take extra care when the accessory is about to break
through the surface to prevent splintering.
9. Always turn off the motor, the magnet and the power,
in that particular order, when work is finished and before
removing the battery.
