NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the direction of
rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem.
Worklights (Fig. 2)
CAUTION: Do not stare into worklight. Serious eye injury could
result.
There are three worklights (G) located around the chuck collar (C). The
worklights are activated when the trigger switch is depressed. When
the trigger is released, the worklight will stay illuminated for up to 20
seconds. If the trigger switch remains depressed, the worklights will
remain on.
NOTE: The worklights are for lighting the immediate work surface and
are not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Quick-Release Chuck (Fig. 2, 5, 6)
WARNING: Use only impact accessories. Non-impact accessories
may break and cause a hazardous condition. Inspect accessory prior
to use to ensure that it con tains no cracks.
NOTE: The chuck accepts 1/4" (6.35 mm) hex accessories and 1"
(25.4 mm) bit tips only.
Place the forward/reverse button (B) in the lock-off (center) position or
remove battery pack before changing accessories.

Usage
Your impact tool can generate the following maximum torque:
Cat #
Ft.-Lbs.
DCF886
125
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 switch to start operation. Release switch to stop 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 a nearly discharged battery, 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.
