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. 

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.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage range only. Always check that 

the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 220–240 V AC 

means your tool will operate on alternating current. Operation at a voltage outside this 

range can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All D

WALT tools are 

factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply. Your D

Extension Cords

CAUTION: 

Use only extension cords that are approved by the country’s Electrical 

Authority. Before using extension cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires, 

damaged insulation and defective fittings. Replace the cord if necessary.

Rotary Hammers Safety Warnings

  •  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 will 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. It is recommended that the side handle 

be used at all times. Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of
