Husqvarna Construction DM 230 Handheld Core Drill
Product Overview
The Husqvarna Construction DM 230 is a compact, handheld electric core drill designed for controlled wet drilling in concrete, brick, and other masonry materials. Its ergonomic design and balanced layout make it easier to handle during demanding drilling work, while the integrated electronic controls help the operator maintain steady performance.
With a maximum drilling diameter of 80 mm (3.15 in.) for handheld drilling, the DM 230 is well suited to creating openings for pipes, cables, ventilation systems, and other building services. When mounted on a suitable drill stand, its capacity can be increased to 150 mm (5.9 in.). (husqvarnaconstruction.com)
Key Features
Handheld drilling up to 80 mm: Suitable for smaller core holes without requiring a drill stand.
Stand-mounted capacity up to 150 mm: Provides additional versatility when paired with a compatible drill stand.
Two-speed gearbox: Allows the operator to select an appropriate spindle speed for the core diameter and application.
Electronic speed control: Helps provide smooth, controlled drilling performance.
SoftStart™: Helps the drill begin operation at a reduced speed for easier and more controlled starting.
Smart Start®: Provides reduced spindle speed when establishing the hole, helping the operator position the bit accurately.
Elgard™ overload protection: Monitors the motor load and helps protect the drill when excessive pressure is applied.
Electronic current limiter: Helps prevent the motor from being overloaded during drilling.
Ergonomic handle design: The handle configuration provides multiple gripping positions for better control in different drilling orientations.
Water-cooled operation: Designed for wet drilling to help cool the diamond core bit and control drilling dust.
LED load indicator: Provides visual feedback on motor load to help the operator maintain efficient drilling pressure. (husqvarnaconstruction.com)

Specifications can vary by market and electrical configuration. Husqvarna lists different article numbers and electrical versions for regional markets, so the specific product variant should be verified before ordering. (husqvarnaconstruction.com)
Drilling Capacity
The DM 230 is designed for handheld drilling up to 80 mm (3.15 in.). This capacity makes it particularly useful for smaller penetrations where a full drill stand would add unnecessary setup time.
For larger holes, the drill can be mounted to a compatible stand, increasing its maximum drilling diameter to 150 mm (5.9 in.). Stand mounting also provides additional support and guidance for applications where greater drilling accuracy is required. (husqvarnaconstruction.com)
Two-Speed Gearbox
The two-speed gearbox allows the operator to match spindle speed to the drilling diameter and material. Lower gearing is useful for larger core diameters and higher torque requirements, while the faster setting is appropriate for smaller diameters.
The combination of two mechanical gears and electronic speed management provides flexibility across the DM 230's recommended drilling range.
Operator Protection and Control
Husqvarna incorporates several electronic functions to help make the DM 230 easier and safer to operate. Elgard™ overload protection monitors the load on the motor and warns the operator when the drill is being pushed too hard. The electronic current limiter helps protect the motor from excessive current draw.
SoftStart™ and Smart Start® help make it easier to begin a hole by controlling initial spindle speed. The integrated LED indicator also gives the operator a visual indication of the current motor load, making it easier to maintain an efficient feed pressure. (husqvarnaconstruction.com)
Ergonomic Handheld Design
The DM 230 is designed to provide good control from several hand positions. Its balanced construction and multiple handle options make it suitable for drilling in different orientations, including horizontal and vertical applications.
At approximately 7 kg (15.4 lb.), the drill is relatively compact for a professional electric core drill, making it practical to carry between work areas and use where access is limited.
Applications
The Husqvarna DM 230 is suitable for tasks such as:
Plumbing penetrations
Electrical and cable openings
Ventilation holes
Anchor and railing installations
Pipe installations
Concrete and masonry drilling
Horizontal and vertical wet drilling
Small-diameter core drilling
Stand-mounted drilling for larger openings
Why Choose the DM 230?
The Husqvarna Construction DM 230 is a practical choice for contractors who need a portable, handheld core drill with professional drilling control. Its 1.85 kW motor, two-speed gearbox, electronic load management, and wet-drilling capability make it well suited to routine concrete and masonry penetration work.
For smaller holes, the handheld configuration provides fast and flexible operation. When larger openings are required, mounting the DM 230 on a compatible drill stand extends its capacity to 150 mm, giving contractors greater versatility without moving to a much larger drill motor.
Important: The stated drilling capacities depend on the drilling configuration. The 80 mm maximum applies to handheld drilling, while the 150 mm maximum applies when the DM 230 is mounted on a suitable drill stand. Always use compatible diamond tooling, appropriate water supply, and the manufacturer's recommended operating procedures.
