FEATURES (FIG. 1)
The D25980 Pavement Breaker has been designed for professional heavy-duty
demolition, applications in concrete, brick, stone and other masonry materials.
ON/OFF Switch
The weight of the hand will active/deactivate the ON/OFF switch. Firmly grasp
pavement breaker while applying pressure with the right hand to turn the pavement
breaker on. To turn the tool off, remove the right hand to relieve pressure from the
switch.
Soft Start
Holding tool by both handles depress the ON/OFF switch (A). The Soft Start feature
allows the impact rate to build up more slowly preventing the bit or point from
bouncing around on the surface. To stop the pavement breaker pull up on hand to
relieve pressure from the switch to turn the tool OFF.
SHOCKS™ – Active Vibration Control
The active vibration control (F) helps absorb the vibration transmitted to the user.
This improves user comfort and safety during operation.
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the left side handle (C) and the other hand on
the right side handle (B). Using the right hand apply weight to the ON/OFF switch
(A) to turn on. Apply only enough pressure to the work area to engage the active
vibration control. Applying too much pressure will not make the pavement breaker
chisel faster and the active vibration control will not engage.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Always hold tool with both hands to maximize control. Allow the
hammer to do the work. Excessive added force shortens the life of the hammer and the
accessory.
Bits
WARNING: ALWAYS turn off tool and disconnect the tool from the power
source before making any adjustments or removing or installing attachments or
accessories. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear gloves when you change bits. Accessible metal parts
on the tool and bits may get extremely hot during operation.
