Rotary hammer DeWalt DCH263NK-XJ SDS‑Plus 18V battery, 2.7 kg, yellow

DeWALT DCH263NK-XJ is a cordless SDS Plus rotary hammer designed for drilling into concrete and masonry. It features an SDS Plus bit system, an 18 V battery power source and a compact 2.7 kg body in DeWALT yellow. The tool is intended for hammer drilling applications where portability and compatibility with SDS Plus bits are required.

Advantages

The SDS Plus chuck provides quick and secure bit changes; battery operation removes the need for a power cord and enables use on sites without mains power. The relatively low weight improves handling during extended drilling tasks, and the specified vibration level for concrete drilling allows assessment of operator comfort and safety measures.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete and masonry
• Light to medium hammer drilling tasks on construction sites
• Portable work where corded power is unavailable

Key specifications

• Chuck type: SDS Plus
• Power source: Battery (18 V)
• Weight: 2.7 kg
• Vibration level (concrete drilling): 9.1 m/s²
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Select an appropriate SDS Plus drill bit for the material and hole diameter, insert and lock the bit into the SDS Plus chuck, fit a charged 18 V battery, set the tool to hammer drilling mode if available, and apply steady pressure while drilling. Follow standard safe drilling practices: secure the workpiece, start at low speed to position the bit, then increase pressure as required. After use, remove the battery before changing bits or performing maintenance.

Recommendations

For operator safety and tool longevity, use compatible DeWALT SDS Plus bits, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection, gloves), limit continuous drilling periods to manage vibration exposure, and follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for charging and storage.
