Overload Clutch
In case of jamming of a drill bit, the drive to the
drill spindle is interrupted. Because of the resulting
forces, always hold the tool with both hands and
take a fi rm stance.
Brake Mechanism
When the variable speed switch is released, the
spindle will stop rotating instantly.
Active Vibration Control
The active vibration control neutralises rebound
vibration from the hammer mechanism. Lowering
hand and arm vibration, it allows more comfortable
use for longer periods of time and extends the life
of the unit.
In operation, a spring loaded mechanism
counterbalances the vibration forces. This can be
sensed by the cushioning effect when pressure
is applied to the tool. Make sure the spring is
engaged but not too fi rmly. The mechanism should
be allowed to 'fl oat'.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the battery pack
voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate. Also make sure that the voltage of your
charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your D
WALT charger is double insulated
E
in accordance with EN 60335; therefore
no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a specially prepared cord available through the
D
WALT service organization.
