INTENDED USE
D25980 demolition hammer has been designed for
professional heavy duty demolition, chipping and
chasing applications in concrete, brick, stone and
other masonry materials.
DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
These demolition hammers are professional power
tools. DO NOT let children come into contact with
the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced
operators use this tool.

Soft Start Feature

The soft start feature allows the impact rate to build
up more slowly, thus preventing the chisel or point
from "bouncing" around on the masonry when
starting up.
