Using the DeWalt DCD794B drill/driver is easy. First, make sure you have a fully - charged 20V MAX* battery (sold separately) and insert it into the tool. Select the appropriate drill bit for your task and secure it in the 1/2 - inch ratcheting chuck. When drilling, hold the tool firmly and apply steady pressure. The LED work light on the tool can be turned on to help you see in dark or tight spaces. As for safety, always wear safety goggles and gloves when operating the drill. Don't use the tool in wet conditions or near flammable materials. To keep your drill in good shape, clean it after each use. Use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or debris. Store the tool in a cool, dry place. And remember, if you're not using it for a long time, remove the battery to prevent damage.
