Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. Voltage decrease of more than
10% will cause loss of power and overheating. D
EWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does
not operate, check power supply.
COMPONENTS (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury could
result.
A. Switch
B. Anvil
OPERATION
WARNING: 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.
Switch (Fig. 1)
Pressing the BOTTOM part of the switch (A) runs the tool in forward (right-hand thread) direction.
Pressing the TOP of the switch reverses motor direction. This allows “rocking” fasteners to break
them loose.
Anvil with Detent Pin (Fig. 1)
CAUTION: Use only impact accessorires. Non-impact accessories may break and cause a
hazardous condition. Inspect accessory prior to use to ensure that it con tains no cracks.
To install an accessory on the anvil (B), align the hole in the side of the accessory with the detent
pin on the anvil. Press the accessory on until the detent pin engages in the hole.
To remove an accessory, depress the detent pin through the hole, using a small, pointed object,
and pull the accessory off.
Impact Time
Many variables exist that will cause the torque available on any fastener to vary considerably.
Usage
Your impact tool generates the following output torque:
Cat # Ft.-Lbs. (Nm)
DW292 345 (468)
DW293 345 (468)
DW294 345 (468)
CAUTION: Ensure fastener and/or system will withstand the level of torque generated by the
tool. Excessive torque may cause breakage and possible personal injury.
1. Place the accessory on the fastener head. Keep the tool pointed straight at the fastener.
2. Press rocker switch to start operation. Always check torque with a torque wrench, as the
fastening torque is affected by many factors including the following:
• Voltage: Low voltage, due to generator or long extension cord, will reduce fastening
torque.
• Accessory size: Failure to use the correct accessory size will cause a reduction in
fastening torque.
• Bolt Size: Larger bolt diameters generally require higher fastening torque. Fastening
torque will also vary according to length, grade, and torque coefficient.
• Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free of rust and other debris to allow proper fastening
torque
• Material: The type of material and surface finish of the material will affect fastening
torque.
• Fastening Time: Longer fasten ing time results in increased fastening torque. Using a
longer fastening time than recom mended could cause the fasteners to be overstressed,
stripped or damaged.
Capacity
Your 1/2" (12.7mm) impact wrench uses sockets with 1/2" (12.7mm) square drive ends. A 3/4"
(19mm) impact wrench uses sockets with 3/4" (19mm) square drive ends. Both sizes of impact
wrenches are capable of driving the same range of hex impact sockets available.
In particularly heavy duty usage the 3/4" (19mm) drive impact wrench has an extra strong anvil
that will resist breakage.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: 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.
Cleaning
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: 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.

Les définitions ci-dessous décrivent le niveau de danger pour chaque
mot-indicateur employé. Lire le mode d’emploi et porter une attention particulière
à ces symboles.
DANGER : indique une situation dangereuse imminente qui, si elle n’est pas
évitée, entraînera la mort ou des blessures graves.
AVERTISSEMENT: indique une situation potentiellement dangereuse qui,
si elle n’est pas évitée, pourrait entraîner la mort ou des blessures graves.
ATTENTION : indique une situation potentiellement dangereuse qui, si elle
n’est pas évitée, pourrait entraîner des blessures légères ou modérées.
AVIS : indique une pratique ne posant aucun risque de dommages corporels
mais qui par contre, si rien n’est fait pour l’éviter, pourrait poser des risques de

POUR TOUTE QUESTION OU REMARQUE AU SUJET DE CET OUTIL OU DE TOUT AUTRE
OUTIL D
EWALT, COMPOSEZ LE NUMÉRO SANS FRAIS : 1-800-4-DEWALT (1-800-433-

AVERTISSEMENT : afin de réduire le risque de blessures, lire le mode d’emploi de l’outil.
Avertissements de sécurité généraux pour les outils
électriques
AVERTISSEMENT ! Lire tous les avertissements de sécurité et toutes les
directives. Le non-respect des avertissements et des directives pourrait se solder par
un choc électrique, un incendie et/ou une blessure grave.
CONSERVER TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES
DIRECTIVES POUR UN USAGE ULTÉRIEUR
Le terme « outil électrique » cité dans les avertissements se rapporte à votre outil électrique à
alimentation sur secteur (avec fil) ou par piles (sans fil).
1) SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL
a) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont
propices aux accidents.
b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques dans un milieu déflagrant, tel qu’en
présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques
produisent des étincelles qui pourraient enflammer la poussière ou les vapeurs.
c) Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité pendant l’utilisation d’un outil
électrique. Une distraction pourrait en faire perdre la maîtrise à l’utilisateur.
2) SÉCURITÉ EN MATIÈRE D’ÉLECTRICITÉ
a) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais
modifier la fiche d’aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d’adaptation avec un
outil électrique mis à la terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par l’utilisation
de fiches non modifiées correspondant à la prise.
b) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la terre comme des
tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc
électrique est plus élevé si votre corps est mis à la terre.
c) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à l’humidité. La pénétration de
l’eau dans un outil électrique augmente le risque de choc électrique.
d) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de façon abusive. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour
transporter, tirer ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le cordon éloigné de
la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants et des pièces mobiles. Les cordons
endommagés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques de choc électrique.
e) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur, se servir d’une rallonge
convenant à cette application. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur
réduira les risques de choc électrique.
