Electrical Safety; Assembly And Adjustments - DeWalt D25711 Manual

Fully Vibration-dampened Main
Handle (fi g. 1)
The dampers in the side handle (c) absorb the
vibrations transmitted to the user. This improves user
comfort during the operation.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Your D WALT tool is double insulated in
E
accordance with EN 60745; therefore no
earth wire is required.
WARNING: 115 V units have to
be operated via a fail-safe isolating
transformer with an earth screen
between the primary and secondary
winding.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a specially prepared cord available through the
D WALT service organisation.

Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the old plug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in
the plug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be
made to the earth terminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good
quality plugs. Recommended fuse: 13 A.
Using an Extension Cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved
3–core extension cable suitable for the power
input of this tool (see technical data).The minimum
conductor size is 1.5 mm 2 ; the maximum length is
30 m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable
completely.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury, turn unit off and disconnect
machine from power source before
installing and removing accessories,
before adjusting or changing set-
ups or when making repairs. Be sure
the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.

injury.
Assembling and Fitting the Side
Handle (fi g. 2A, 2B)

MOUNTING IN FRONT POSITION (FIG. 2A)
1. Snap the steel ring (k) over the collar (o)
behind the tool holder (m). Squeeze both ends
together, mount the bush (l) and insert the pin
(n).
2. Place the side handle clamp (j) and screw on
the clamp wheel (h). Do not tighten.
WARNING: Once assembled, the side
handle clamp should never be removed.
3. Screw the side handle (c) into the bush (l) and
then into clamp wheel. Tighten securely.
4. Rotate the side handle mounting assembly to
the desired position. For drilling horizontally
with a heavy drill bit, we recommend to place
the side handle at an angle of approx. 20° for
optimum control.
5. Lock the side handle mounting assembly in
place by tightening the clamp wheel (h).
MOUNTING IN REAR POSITION (FIG. 2B)
The rear position is particularly useful when drilling
down into a floor.
1. Unscrew the side handle (c) and remove it
from the front position. Leave the side handle
mounting assembly in front position.
2. Screw the side handle directly into one of the
rear side handle positions (i) on either side of the
tool.
D25870 (FIG. 2C)
1. Unscrew the side handle knob (q).
2. Slide the side handle assembly onto the
machine locating the steel ring (k) in the
mounting area (y). The correct position of the
side handle is between head and middle of the
