INTENDED USE
These h eavy-duty rotary h ammers have b een d esigned forprofessional drilling and hammerdrilling,
screwdriving and light c hipping atvarious work sites (i.e., construction sites). DO NOT use under
wet c onditions orinpresence offlammable liquids o rgases.
These heaw-duty rotary h ammers areprofessional power tools. DONOT letchildren come into
contact with thetool. S upervision isrequired when inexperienced operators use this tool.
Active Vibration Control (Fig. 1)
D25223, D25323 AND D25324 ONLY
The active vibration control reduces rebound vibration from the hammer mechanism. Reducing
hand and arm vibration allows for more comfortable use for longer periods of time and extends
the life ofthe unit.
For best vibration control, hold the tool with one hand on the main handle (B) and the other hand
on the side handle (I). Apply just enough pressure so the hammer is approximately mid-stroke.
The hammer only needs enough pressure to engage the active vibration control. Applying too
much pressure will not make the tool drill or chip faster and active vibration control will not
engage.
Torque Limiting Clutch
All rotary hammer drills are equipped with a torque limiting clutch that reduces the maximum
torque reaction transmitted to the operator in case of jamming of a drill bit. This feature
also prevents the gearing and electric motor from stalling. The torque limiting clutch has been
factory-set and cannot be adjusted.
Side Handle (Fig. 2)
i_WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS operate the tool with the side
handle properly installed and securely tightened. Failure to do so may result in the side handle
slipping during tool operation and subsequent loss of control Hold tool with both hands to
maximize control
A side handle comes assembled with this rotary hammer. The side handle (I) can be fitted to suit
both right-hand and left-hand users.
TO ADJUST THE SIDE HANDLE
1. Loosen the side handle (I) by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Rotate the side handle to the desired position.
3. Tighten the side handle by turning it clockwise.
TO CHANGE SIDES
For right-hand users: slide the side handle clamp over the chuck, handle at the left.
For left-hand users: slide the side handle clamp over the chuck, handle at the right.
Trigger Switch (Fig. 1)
To start the rotary hammer, depress the trigger switch (A). To stop rotary hammer, release the
switch.
NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a centerpunch, drilling in metal, plastics
or ceramics, or driving screws. Higher speeds are better for drilling in masonry for maximum
efficiency.
VARIABLE SPEED
The variable speed trigger switch (A) permits speed control. The farther the trigger switch is
depressed, the higher the speed of the drill.

Drilling
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool
from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
A WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored
or clamped firmly, If drilling thin material, use a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage to the
material
Press mode selector button (E) and turn the mode selector (D) to the drill bit symbol for drilling, to

DRILLING OPERATION
1. For WOOD, use twist bits, spade bits, power auger bits or hole saws. For METAL, use high-
speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The
exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. For MASONRY, use carbide-
tipped bits or masonry bits. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
2. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep the drill bit
biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
3. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill.
WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip
the drill firmly with both hands to control the twisting action and avoid injury,
