Using the DeWalt DCH293B is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Then, select the appropriate drill bit for your job and insert it into the keyless chuck. Hold the tool firmly with the D-ring handle. When you start drilling, let the tool do the work. Don't apply too much pressure. The e-clutch system will protect you in case of a bind-up. When you're done, remove the drill bit. For maintenance, keep the tool clean. After each use, wipe it down to remove dust. If you're using it in a very dusty environment, consider using the dust extraction feature with the D25304DH. Also, periodically check the battery. If it's not holding a charge well, it might be time for a new one. Always store the tool in a dry place to prevent damage.
