ENGLISH
The D25820, D25831 chipping hammers have been designed for
professional chipping, chiselling and demolitionapplications.
DO NOT use under wet conditions or in the presence of flammable liquids
orgases.
These hammers are professional powertools.
DO NOT let children come into contact with thetool. Supervision is
required when inexperienced operators use thistool.
• Young children and theinfirm. This appliance is not intended for use
by young children or infirm persons withoutsupervision.
• This product is not intended for use by persons (including children)
suffering from diminished physical, sensory or mental abilities; lack of
experience, knowledge or skills unless they are supervised by a person
responsible for theirsafety. Children should never be left alone with
thisproduct.
Soft Start Feature
D25601, D25602, D25603, D25831
The soft start feature allows the tool to accelerate slowly, thus preventing
the drill bit from walking off the intended 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 started with
the drill bit in an existinghole.
Electronic Speed and Impact Control (Fig. A, C)
D25601, D25602, D25603, D25831
The electronic speed and impact control
7
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.
Torque Limiting Clutch

WARNING: The user must always maintain a firm grip on the tool
when inoperation.
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.
NOTICE: Always turn the tool off before changing torque control
settings or damage to tool mayresult.
Complete Torque Control (CTC) (Fig.C) D25602
Complete Torque Control (CTC) offers the user a two-stage mechanical
clutch with adjustable torqueoptions. Adjusting the torque provides
increased control for variousapplications.
The low setting (40Nm) allows the tool to operate at a reduced torque
level increasing control for many solid drillingapplications. The high setting
(80Nm) is available for more demanding applications such as core drilling
and the use of large diameter solidbits.
Refer to Setting the Two Stage Mechanical Clutch for moreinformation.
Ultimate Torque Control (UTC) (Fig.C) D25603
In addition to the two-stage mechanical clutch, Ultimate Torque Control
(UTC) offers increased user comfort and safety through an on-board,
anti-rotation technology capable of detecting if the user loses control
of thehammer. When a jam is detected, the torque and speed are
reducedinstantly. This feature prevents self rotation of the tool reducing the
occurrence of wristinjuries.
Service Indicator LEDs (Fig. A, C)
D25601, D25602, D25603, D25831
The yellow brushwear indicator LED
17
lights up when the carbon brushes
are nearly worn out to indicate that the tool needs servicing within the next
8 hours ofuse.
D25601, D25602, D25603
The red service indicator LED
18
lights up if the lock-on button
2
is
used in any mode except the chippingmode. On models fitted with
Ultimate Torque Control (UTC), the red LED indicator
18
lights up if the
anti-rotational device isactivated. The red indicator starts to flash if there
is a fault with the tool or the brushes have completely worn out (refer to
Brushes under Maintenance).
D25831
The red service indicator LED
18
lights up if there is a fault with the
tool or the brushes have completely worn out (refer to Brushes under
Maintenance).
Fully Vibration-Dampened Main Handle (Fig. A)
D25601, D25602, D25603, D25831
The dampers in the main handle
4
absorb the vibrations transmitted to
theuser. This improves user comfort during theoperation.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

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. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFFposition. An
accidental start-up can causeinjury.
Assembling and Fitting the Side Handle
(Fig. B)
The side handle
3
can be mounted on either side of the machine to suit
both right- and left-handedusers.

WARNING: Always operate the tool with the side handle
properlyassembled.
D25501, D25601, D25602, D25820, D25603
1. Snap the steel ring
10
over the collar
15
behind the tool holder
12
.
Squeeze both ends together, mount the bush
11
and insert the
pin
14
.
2. Place the side handle clamp
9
and screw on the clamp wheel
8
. Do
nottighten.

WARNING: Once assembled, the side handle clamp should never
beremoved.
3. Screw the side handle
3
into the bush
11
and then into clampwheel.
Tightensecurely.
4. Rotate the side handle mounting assembly to the desiredposition. For
drilling horizontally with a heavy drill bit, we recommend to place the
side handle at an angle of approximately 20° for optimumcontrol.
5. Lock the side handle mounting assembly in place by tightening the
clamp wheel
8
.
D25831
1. Unscrew the side handle knob
16
.
2. Slide the side handle assembly onto the machine locating the steel
ring
10
in the mounting area
26
. The correct position of the side
handle is between head and middle of thetube.
3. Adjust the side handle
3
to the desiredangle.
4. Slide and rotate the side handle to the desiredposition.
5. Lock the side handle in place by tightening the knob

Inserting and Removing SDS Max® Accessories
(Fig. A, D)
This machine uses SDS Max
®
bits and chisels (refer to the inset in figureDB
for a cross-section of an SDS Max
®
bit shank).
1. Clean the bitshank.
2. Pull back the locking sleeve
13
and insert the bitshank.
3. Turn the bit slightly until the sleeve snaps intoposition.
4. Pull on the bit, to check if it is properlylocked. The hammering function
requires the bit to be able to move axially several centimetres when
locked in the toolholder.
