Product Information
Full details
The DeWalt DCH033N 18v XR Brushless SDS+ Rotary Hammer Drill is designed for professionals and serious DIYers needing to drill anchor and fixing holes in concrete, brick, and masonry. Its key benefit is the versatile dual-mode operation, offering rotation stop for light chiseling and impact stop for wood/metal drilling, all powered by a robust brushless motor. A primary caveat is that this is a bare tool, requiring separate purchase of batteries, a charger, and a case.

FAQs
What is included with the DeWalt DCH033N?
This product is sold as a bare tool. It includes an SDS set, a chisel, and a keyless chuck with an SDS chuck adaptor. Batteries, charger, and a case are sold separately.
What type of batteries does this drill use?
The DeWalt DCH033N is compatible with DeWalt 18v XR Lithium-Ion batteries.
What is the maximum recommended hole size for concrete?
The drill is suitable for holes from 4mm up to 22mm in concrete, brick, and masonry.
Can I use this drill for mixing mortar?
No, this rotary hammer drill is not designed for mixing materials like mortar. Its primary functions are drilling and light chiseling.
How do I switch between drilling and chiseling modes?
There is a mode selector switch on the tool. Rotate it to choose between Rotary Hammer (for drilling into masonry), Hammer Only (for light chiseling), or Rotation Only (for wood and metal).
Is the keyless chuck permanent?
No, the keyless chuck is an included accessory that can be attached to the SDS+ chuck, allowing the use of standard round-shank drill bits when the hammer function is disengaged.
What maintenance does the brushless motor require?
Brushless motors are generally maintenance-free. Ensure the tool's air vents remain clear of debris to prevent overheating.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not power on
Ensure the battery is properly inserted and charged. Check battery contacts for dirt or damage. Try a different compatible battery.
Reduced drilling power or speed
Check if the battery charge is low. Ensure the correct mode is selected for the material. Clean any debris from the drill bit and chuck. The brushless motor's thermal protection may have engaged; allow the tool to cool down.
SDS+ bit won't lock into the chuck
Ensure the bit is an SDS+ type and is clean. Rotate the bit slightly while pushing it into the chuck. Check the chuck mechanism for damage or obstructions.
Chiseling mode not effective
Confirm the tool is set to the 'Hammer Only' mode. Ensure you are using an SDS+ chisel bit and that it is properly seated. For light chiseling, this tool is not intended for heavy demolition.
