manageable level. Using proper hand position, brace the

The DCD460 is equipped with a mechanical slip clutch. The
clutch is active when the low speed (1) is selected. When
the bit or cutter bites into the workpiece, the clutch will slip
and a ratcheting sound will be heard. Release the trigger.
Continued clutching of the tool will reduce the life of this
feature.
