The drill has a low speed (setting 1) which is 0-300 RPMs and a high speed (setting 2) which is 0-1250 RPMs. The high speed should be used for smaller holes such as; 1-1/2” flat boring into wood, 1-1/2” ship augers, and 2-9/16” self-feed bits.

Also pay attention to the dial around the chuck of the drill; the numbers indicate torque settings, and are useful when driving screws. If the number is set too low, the drill will stop spinning and make a clicking noise under a lower amount of pressure.

On DEWALT tools, the model number and type number are usually on the warning label or nameplate typically found on the bottom or side of the tool. The label for larger equipment, like generators, can be found on the top of the equipment.
