Additional safety instructions for demolition
hammers
• Ensure the chisel is secured in place before
operating the tool.
• In cold-weather conditions or when the tool has
not been used for a longer period of time, let the
tool run with no load for several minutes before use.
• Always hold the tool firmly with both hands and
ensure a secure stance. Always operate the tool
with the side handle properly mounted.
• When working above ground level ensure the
area below is clear.
• To prevent electric shock, check the working
area for live wires before operation.
• Do not touch the chisel or the parts close to the
chisel immediately after operation, as they may
be extremely hot and cause burns to the skin.
• Always direct the power cable to the rear, away
from the chisel.

Description (fig. A)
Your D25940K demolition hammer has been
designed for professional heavy duty demolition,
chipping and chasing applications in concrete, brick,
stone and other masonry materials.
1 On/off switch
2 Rear handle
3 Side handle
4 Chisel position index collar
5 Tool holder
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.
Active vibration control
The active vibration control neutralises rebound
vibration from the hammer mechanism. Lowering
hand and arm vibration, it allows more comfortable
use for longer periods of time and extends the life of
the unit.
Electrical safety
The electric motor has been designed for a limited
voltage range. Always check that the power supply
falls within the voltage range on the rating plate.
Your D WALT tool is double insulated in
E
accordance with EN 50144; therefore no
earth wire is required.
Mains plug replacement
(U.K. & Ireland only)
• Should your mains plug need replacing and you
are competent to do this, proceed as instructed
below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorized
D WALT repair agent or a qualified electrician.
E
• Disconnect the plug from the supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug
with bared copper conductors is dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs
fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked
at the connection points of most good quality
plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points
in the plug (see below).
