Product Information
Full details
The Dewalt DCH333N 54V XR Flex Volt SDS+ Hammer Drill is designed for professional tradespeople undertaking heavy-duty construction applications, offering category-leading drilling performance and versatility. Its key benefit is the high speed drilling capability, achieving over 66 holes (18mm x 80mm) per charge. A primary caveat is that this is a bare tool, requiring separate purchase of a battery and charger. Key features include rotation stop mode for light chiselling, impact stop mode for rotary-only drilling, and best-in-class vibration levels.

FAQs
What is included with the Dewalt DCH333N?
This is a 'Bare Tool' offering, meaning it includes the hammer drill body, a multi-position side handle, a depth rod, and a belt hook. A battery and charger are sold separately.
What type of battery does this drill use?
The Dewalt DCH333N uses the 54V XR FLEXVOLT battery system. It is also compatible with Dewalt's 18V XR batteries, though performance will be limited to 18V capabilities.
What is the maximum drilling capacity?
The recommended maximum drilling capacity for concrete and masonry is 30mm. For wood, it can go up to 30mm.
Can I use this drill for demolition work?
The 'Rotation Stop' mode is designed for light chiselling tasks, such as removing tile adhesive or chasing shallow channels. For heavy demolition, a dedicated demolition hammer would be more appropriate.
How do I switch between drilling and chiselling modes?
There is a mode selector switch on the tool. Rotate it to select 'Rotary Hammer' for drilling into masonry, 'Hammer Stop' for rotary-only drilling in wood/metal, or 'Chisel Stop' for light chiselling.
What does 'Perform Protect' mean?
'Perform Protect' refers to Dewalt's commitment to user safety and comfort. In this case, it highlights the tool's best-in-class low vibration levels (8.5m/s²) to minimise user fatigue.
Is the keyless chuck included?
The DCH333N comes with an SDS+ chuck. An adaptor for a keyless chuck is typically included, allowing the use of standard round-shank drill bits for wood and metal.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not power on.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the safety lock-off switch is engaged.
Reduced drilling performance.
Check battery charge level. Ensure the drill bit is sharp and properly seated. Clean any debris from the chuck and ventilation slots.
Hammer function not engaging.
Verify the mode selector is set to hammer drill mode. Ensure you are using an SDS+ bit correctly seated in the chuck.
Excessive vibration.
While designed for low vibration, ensure bits are correctly installed and the tool is not being forced excessively. Check for damage to the tool or bit.
