General Power Tool Safety Warnings
A ARNIN!! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury,
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable fiquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There isan increased risk of electric shock ifyour body is earthed
or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tooL Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
0 If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuR interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury,
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or
a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury,
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
0 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tooL Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
lossofcontrol• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long
safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up
the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The
following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.

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.

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,
4. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded. RELEASE TRIGGER
IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT CLICK
TRIGGER OFF AND ON IN AN A'rrEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL - THIS CAN
DAMAGE THE DRILL.
5. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit
through the last fractional part of the hole.
6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent
jamming.
7. With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch the point to be drilled. Use a slow
speed to start the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the hole is deep
enough to drillwithout the bit skipping out.
DRILLING IN METAL
An SDS Plus®to round shank adaptor chuck is required for the D25123, D25213, D25313, D25223
and the D25323. Ensure that tool is in drill-only mode. Start drilling with slow speed and increase
to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow of metal chips indicates
theproperdrillingrate.Useacuttinglubricantwhendrillingmetals.Theexceptionsarecastiron

DRILLING IN WOOD
An SDS Plus®to round shank adaptor chuck is required for the D25123, D25213, D25313, D25223
and the D25323. Ensure that tool is in drill-only mode. Start drilling with slow speed and increase to
full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be made with the same twist
drills used for metal. These bits may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the
flutes. For larger holes, use spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. Work that is apt to splinter
should be backed up with a block of wood.
HAMMERDRILL OPERATION
1. When drilling, use just enough force on the hammer to keep it from bouncing excessively or
"rising" off the bit. Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds, overheating, and a lower
drilling rate.
2. Drillstraight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit
when drilling as this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.
3. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of the
hole with the tool still running to help clear debris from the hole.
4. For masonry, use carbide-tipped bits or masonry bits. A smooth even flow of dust indicates the
proper drilling rate.
Chipping and Chiselling (Fig. 1)
1. Set the mode selector switch (D) to the hammering only position.
2. Insert the appropriate chisel and rotate it by hand to lock it into one of 51 positions.
3. Adjust the side handle (I)as required.
4. Switch on the tool and start working.
5. Always switch off the tool when work is finished and before unplugging.
Depth Rod (Fig. 5)
TO ADJUST THE DEPTH ROD
1. Push in and hold the depth rod release button (J) on the side handle.
2. Move the depth rod (H)so the distance between the end of the rod and the end of the bit equals
the desired drilling depth.
3. Release the button to lock rod into position. When drilling with the depth rod, stop when end
of rod reaches surface of material.
MAINTENANCE
_ WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power

dectrique, un incendie et/ou une blessure grave.
CONSERVER TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES
DIRECTIVES POUR UN USAGE ULTERIEUR
Le terme _ outil dectrique _ cite dansles avertissements se rapporte a votre outil electrique
allmentation sur secteur (avec ill) ou par piles (sans ill).
1) S#CURIT# DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL
a) Tenir I'aire de travail propre et bien _clair_e. Les Iieux encombres ou sombres sont
propices aux accidents.
b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d'outils _lectriques dans un milieu d_flagrant, tel qu'en
presence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussi_res inflammables. Les outlls e/ectriques
produisent des etincelles qui pourraient enflammer la poussiere ou les vapeurs.
c) Eloigner les enfants et les personnes a proximit_ pendant rutilisation d'un outil
_lectrique. Une distraction pourrait en faire perdre la ma_trise a I'utilisateur.
2) SI_CURITI_ EN MATI#RE D'I_LECTRICITI_
a) Les fiches des outils _lectriques doivent correspondre a la prise. Ne jamais modifier
la fiche d'aucune fa_on. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d'adaptation avec un outil
_lectrique mis a la terre. Le risque de choc dectrique sera reduit par I'utilisation de fiches
non modifiees correspondant a la prise.
b) Eviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises a la terre comme des tuyaux,
des radiateurs, des cuisini_res et des r_frig_rateurs. Le risque de choc dectrique est
plus deve si votre corps est mis a la terre.
c) Ne pas exposer les outils _lectriques a la pluie ou a I'humidit& La penetration de I'eau
dans un outll dectrique augmente le risque de choc dectrique.
d) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de fa_on abusive. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour
transporter, tirer ou d_brancher un outil _lectrique. Tenir le cordon _loign_ de
la chaleur, de rhuile, des bords tranchants et des pi_ces mobiles. Les cordons
endommages ou enchev_tres augmentent les risques de choc dectrique.
e) Pour rutilisation d'un outil _lectrique a I'ext_rieur, se servir d'une rallonge
convenant a cette application. L'uti/isation d'une rallonge conque pour/'exterieur reduira
les risques de choc dectrique.
S'il est impossible d'_viter rutilisation d'un outil _lectrique dans un endroit
humide, brancher routil dans une prise ou sur un circuit d'alimentation dot_s d'un
disjoncteur de fuite a la terre (GFCI). L'utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur reduit les
risques de choc dectrique.
3) SI_CURITI_ PERSONNELLE
a) Etre vigilant, surveiller le travail effectu_ et faire preuve dejugement Iorsqu'un outil
_lectrique est utilis_. Ne pas utiliser d'outil _lectrique en cas de fatigue ou sous
rinfluence de drogues, d'alcool ou de m_dicaments. Un simple moment d'inattention
en utllisant un outll dectrique peut entra_nerdes blessures corporelles graves.
b) Utiliser des _quipements de protection individuelle. Toujours porter une protection
oculaire. L'utllisation d'equipements de protection comme un masque antipoussiere, des
chaussures antiderapantes, un casque de securite ou des protecteurs auditifs Iorsque la
situation le requiert reduira les risques de blessures corporelles.
c) Emp_cher les d_marrages intempestifs. S'assurer que rinterrupteur se trouve a la
position d'arr_t avant de relier routil a une source d'alimentation et/ou d'ins_rer un
bloc-piles, de ramasser ou de transporter routil. Transporter un outi/ e/ectrique a/ors
que le doigt repose sur I'interrupteur ou brancher un outll dectrique dont I'interrupteur est
la position de marche risque de provoquer un accident.
d) Retirer toute cl_ de r_glage ou cl_ avant de d_marrer routil. Une cle ou une cle de
reglage attachee a une pattie pivotante de I'outil dectrique peut provoquer des blessures
corporelles.
e) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver son _quilibre en tout temps. Cela permet de
mieux ma_triser I'outll dectrique dansles situations imprevues.
S'habiller de mani_re appropri_e. Ne pas porter de v_tements amples ni de bijoux.
Garder les cheveux, les v_tements et les gants a I'_cart des pi_ces mobiles. Les
v_tements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de rester coinces dansles pieces
mobiles.
g) Sides composants sent fournis pour leraccordement de dispositifs de d_poussi_rage
et de ramassage, s'assurer que ceux-ci sent bien raccord_s et utilis_s. L'uti/isation
d'un dispositif de depoussierage peut reduire les dangers engendres par les poussieres.
4} UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN D'UN OUTIL #LECTRIQUE
a) Ne pas forcer un outil _lectrique. Utiliser routil _lectrique appropri_ a rapplication.
L'outll dectrique approprie effectuera un meilleur travail, de faqon plus sore eta la vitesse
pour laquelle ila ete conqu.
b) Ne pas utiliser un outil _lectrique dont rinterrupteur est d_fectueux. Tout outil
dectrique dont /'interrupteur est defectueux est dangereux et doit _tre repar&
c) D_brancher la fiche de la source d'alimentation et/ou du bloc-piles de routil
_lectrique avant de faire tout r_glage ou changement d'accessoire ou avant de
ranger routil. Ces mesures preventives reduisent les risques de demarrage accidentel de
I'outil dectrique.
d) Ranger les outils _lectriques hers de la pottle des enfants et ne permettre
aucune personne n'_tant pas famili_re avec un outil _lectrique ou son mode
d'emploi d'utiliser cet outil. Les outlls dectriques deviennent dangereux entre/es mains
d'utilisateurs inexperimentes.

coinc_es, si des pi_ces sent bris_es ou pr_sentent toute autre condition susceptible
de nuire au ben fonctionnement de routil _lectrique. En cas de dommage, faire
r_parer routil _lectrique avant toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup d'accidents sont
causes par des outlls dectriques mal entretenus.

de I'outil dectrique.
Consignes de s_curit_ additionnelles propres aux marteaux
rotatifs
• Porter un dispositif de protection auditif. Le bruit en resultant pourrait occasionner une
perte de I'acuite auditive.
• Utiliser les poign_es auxiliaires fournies avec routil. Une perte de contr_le de I'outil
pourrait occasionner des dommages corporels.
• Tenir routil par les surfaces isol_es pr_vues a cet effet pendant toute utilisation o_
I'organe de coupe pourrait entrer en contact avec des ills _lectriques caches ou son
propre cordon. Tout contact avec un fil sous tension met les parties metalliques exposees de
I'outll sous tension et dectrocute I'utllisateur.
• Utiliser des serre-joints, ou tout autre moyen, pour fixer et immobiliser le mat_riau sur
une surface stable. Tenir la piece a la main ou contre son corps offre une stabilite insuffisante
qui pourrait vous en faire perdre le contr_le.
• Porter des lunettes de protection ou toute autre protection oculaire. Le martelage
pourrait faire voltiger des eclats. Cesparticules volantes pourraient occasionner des dommages
oculaires permanents. Porter un masque anti-poussieres ou un appareil de protection des voies
respiratoires pour toute application productrice de poussieres. Une protection auditive peut
s'averer necessaire pour la plupart des applications.
• Maintenir syst_matiquement routil fermement. Ne pas tenter d'utiliser cet outil
sans le maintenir a deux mains./I est recommande d'utlliser systematiquement la poignee
laterale. Le fait d'utlliser cet outil a une main pourra vous en faire perdre le contrde. Traverser ou
rencontrer des materiaux durs comme les armatures peut aussi s'averer dangereux. Resserrer
soigneusement la poignee laterale avant toute utilisation.
