General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! 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 liquids, 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
is an increased risk of electric shock if your 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.

2

English

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.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the

battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and

do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools

are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.

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.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,

use a ground fault circuit 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, non­skid 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.

f) 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.

English

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration

caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and
arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by
taking frequent rest periods.

• Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel reconditioning should

be done by an authorized specialist. Improperly reconditioned
chisels could cause injury.

• Wear gloves when operating tool or changing bits. Accessible

metal parts on the tool and bits may get extremely hot during
operation. Small bits of broken material may damage bare hands.

• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete
stop. Moving bits could cause injury.

• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge them.
Fragments of metal or material chips could dislodge and cause
injury.

• Keep the power cord away from the rotating bit. Do not
wrap the cord around any part of your body. An electric cord
wrapped around a spinning bit may cause personal injury and loss
of control.

• Do not overheat the bit (discoloration) while grinding a new
edge. Badly worn chisels require reforging. Do not reharden and
temper the chisel.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG
or American Wire Gauge) for 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

Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional Safety Rules for Heavy Duty
Rotary Hammers

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of

control can cause personal injury.

• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when

performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory

contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the opeartor an electric shock.

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering
operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent
eye damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator for applications
that generate dust. Ear protection may be required for most
applications.

• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt
to operate this tool without holding it with both hands.
Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of control.
Breaking through or encountering hard materials such as re-bar
may be hazardous as well.

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or

lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,

which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other
injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.

English

9. 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 drill without the bit skipping out.

DRILLING IN METAL

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
the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
NOTE: Large [5/16" to 1/2" (7,6 mm to 13 mm)] holes in steel can
be made easier if a pilot hole [5/32" to 3/16" (3,8 mm to 5 mm] is
drilled first.

DRILLING IN WOOD

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.

DRILLING IN MASONRY

When drilling in masonry, use carbide tipped bits rated for percussion
drilling and be certain that the bit is sharp. Use a constant and firm
force on the tool to drill most effectively. A smooth, even flow of dust
indicates the proper drilling rate.

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.

Drilling

(ONLY FOR D25413 & D25415)

1. Always unplug the drill when attaching or changing bits or
accessories.

2. Always use sharp drill bits. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade
bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. For METAL, use steel twist
drill bits or hole saws. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement,
cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion
drilling.

3. Be sure the material to be drilled is anchored or clamped firmly.
If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent
damage to the material.

4. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall
the motor or deflect the bit.

5. Hold tool firmly 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.

6. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded or
improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove
drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT
CLICK TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN AT TEMPT TO START A
STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.

7. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce
pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part
of the hole.

8. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled
hole. This will help prevent jamming.

English

Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air

at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear
ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for

cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may
weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

Accessories

WARNING: Since accessories, other than those offered by

D

2. Drill straight, 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 (G) to the hammering only position.

2. Insert the appropriate chisel and rotate it by hand to lock it.

3. Adjust the side handle (C) as required.
