Soft start feature
The soft start feature allows to build up speed slowly,
thus preventing the drill bit from walking off the intend-
ed hole position when starting. The soft start feature
also reduces the immediate torque reaction transmitted
to the gearing and the operator if the hammer is start-
ed with the drill bit in an existing hole.
Torque limiting clutch
The torque limiting clutch 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.
Electronic speed and impact control (fig. B)
The electronic speed and impact control (2) offers the
following advantages:
- use of smaller accessories without risk of breakage
- minimised break-out when chiselling or drilling in soft
or brittle materials
- optimal tool control for precise chiselling
Service indicator LED (fig. B)
The red service indicator LED (3) lights up when the
carbon brushes are nearly worn out to indicate that the
tool needs servicing. After a further 8 hours of use the
motor will automatically be shut off.
The carbon brushes are not user-serviceable.
Take the tool to an authorized DeWALT repair agent.
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 DeWALT tool is double insulated in
accordance with EN 50144; therefore no
earth wire is required.
Using an extension cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved
extension cable suitable for the power input of this tool
(see technical data). The minimum conductor size is
1.5 mm2. When using a cable reel, always unwind the
cable completely. Also refer to the table below.
