Using your DeWalt DWD450 drill is easy. First, select the right bit for your job and insert it into the chuck. Tighten the chuck using the key that comes with a holder. Adjust the speed according to the material and task. For softer materials, you can use a higher speed, and for harder materials, a lower speed is better. When drilling, hold the drill firmly with the adjustable front handle and the 2 - position side handle for maximum control. Make sure to keep the drill perpendicular to the surface. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the drill clean with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Check the chuck regularly to ensure it's tight and in good condition. Store the drill in a dry place to prevent rust. If you notice any unusual noises or problems, stop using the drill immediately and have it checked by a professional.
