DeWalt D25500 Mode D'emploi page 25

Hammering only: for light chipping,
chiselling and demolition applications.
In this mode the tool can also be used as
a lever to free a jammed drill bit.
• To select the operating mode, press the safety
lock (5) and rotate the mode selector switch (4)
until it is points to the symbol of the required mode.
• Release the safety lock and check that the mode
selector switch is locked in place.
Indexing the chisel position
The chisel can be indexed and locked into 8 different
positions (fig. D2).
• Rotate the mode selector switch (4) until it points
upward.
• Rotate the chisel in the desired position.
• Set the mode selector switch (4) to the
"hammering only" position.
• Twist the chisel until it locks in position.
Setting the electronic speed and impact control
dial (fig. B)
• Turn the dial (2) to the desired level. The higher
the number, the greater the speed and impact
energy. With dial settings from "1" (low) to "5"
(full power) the tool is extremely versatile and
adaptable for many different applications.
The required setting is a matter of experience.
E.g.:
- when chiselling or drilling in soft, brittle
materials or when minimum break-out is
required, set the dial to "1" or "2" (low);
- when breaking or drilling in harder materials,
set the dial to "5" (full power).
D25600
With dial settings from "1" to "7" the tool allows a
further fine-adjustment to the choice of application.
Assembling and fitting the side handle (fig. E1 - E4)
The side handle (8) can be mounted in front or in
rear position on either side of the machine to suit
both RH- and LH-users.
Always operate the tool with the side
handle properly assembled.
Mounting in front position (fig. E1 & E2)
• Snap the steel ring (16) over the collar (7) behind
the tool holder (6). Squeeze both ends together,
mount the bush (14) and insert the pin (15).
• Place the side handle clamp (13) and screw on
the clamp wheel (9). Do not tighten.
• Screw the side handle (8) into the clamp wheel
and tighten it.
• 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 approx. 20° for optimum
control (fig. E2).
• Lock the side handle mounting assembly in place
by tightening the clamp wheel (9).
Mounting in rear position (fig. E3 & E4)
The rear position is particularly useful when drilling
overhead or down into a floor. Refer to fig. D4.
• Unscrew the side handle (8) and remove it from
the front position. Leave the side handle
mounting assembly in front position so that the
depth adjustment rod can still be used.
• Screw the side handle directly into one of the
rear side handle positions (10) on either side of
the tool.
Setting the drilling depth (fig. F)
• Insert the required drill bit.
• Loosen the clamp nut (17) and fit the depth
adjustment rod (11) through the hole in the side
handle clamp.
• Push the drill bit into a surface at a right angle and
adjust the depth adjustment rod (11) as shown.
• Tighten the clamp nut (17).
Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• For your own safety, always use the tool
with both hands.
• Be aware of the location of pipework and
wiring.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool
(approx. 20 kg). Excessive force does
not speed up drilling or chiselling but
decreases tool performance and may
shorten tool life.
