ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. DEWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check power supply.
Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury could result.
Fig. 1
This heavy-duty V.S.R. drill is designed for professional drilling.
DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
These heavy-duty drills are professional power tools.
DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool.
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
The forward/reverse lever (C) is used for withdrawing bits from tight holes and removing screws. It is located above the trigger switch.
To reverse the motor, release the trigger switch FIRST and then push the lever to the right (viewed when holding the drill in the operating position).
After any reversing operations, return lever to forward position.
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage to the material.
Do not attempt to tighten or loosen drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur.
To start the drill, depress the trigger switch; to stop the drill, release the trigger switch.
NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch, drilling in metal or plastics, driving screws or drilling ceramics. Higher speeds are better for drilling wood and composition boards and using abrasive and polishing accessories.
A variable speed trigger switch (A) permits speed control—the farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill.
For continuous operation, depress fully and hold the variable speed trigger switch, press the lock-on button (B) in, then release the switch.
Do not lock the switch on when drilling by hand so that you can instantly release the trigger switch if the bit binds in the hole.
The lock-on button (B) is for use only when the drill is mounted in a drill press stand or otherwise held stationary.
To stop continuous operation, press the switch briefly and release it. Always switch the tool off when work is finished and before unplugging.

To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown in Figure 2.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand under the the housing, with the other hand on the main handle (G).
To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage to the material.
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow of metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
NOTE: Large [5/16" (8 mm) to 1/2" (13 mm)] holes in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole [5/32" (4 mm) to 3/16" (5 mm)] is drilled first.
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a block of wood.
The DWE1014 features a keyed chuck (D).
To release the bit, turn the chuck counterclockwise in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
FIG. 3
Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex key. Using a soft hammer, strike the key sharply in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front of the tool. This will loosen the chuck so that it can be removed by hand.
FIG. 4
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go. Insert the shorter end of a hex key and strike it in the clockwise direction with a soft hammer.
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.
Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
DEWALT uses an advanced brush system which automatically stops the drill when the brushes wear out. This prevents serious damage to the motor. New brush assemblies are available at authorized DEWALT service centers. Always use identical replacement parts.
Self-lubricating bearings are used in the tool and periodic relubrication is not required. In the unlikely event that service is ever needed, take your tool to an authorized service location.
Since accessories, other than those offered by DEWALT, have not been tested with this product, use of such accessories with this tool could be hazardous. To reduce the risk of injury, only DEWALT recommended accessories should be used with this product.
Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service center. If you need assistance in locating any accessory, please contact DEWALT Industrial Tool Co., 701 East Joppa Road, Baltimore, MD 21286, call 1-800-4-DEWALT (1-800-433-9258) or visit our website: www.dewalt.com.
