ENGLISH
Setting the Electronic Speed and
Impact Control Dial (fig. 1, 3)
D25601, D25602, D25603
Turn the dial (g) to the desired level. Turn the dial
upwards for higher speed and downwards for
lower speed. 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 a low setting;
– when breaking or drilling in harder materials, set
the dial to a high setting.
Setting the Torque Control Switch
(fig. 3)
D25602, D25603
NOTICE: Always turn the tool off before
changing torque control settings or
damage to the tool may result.
Move the torque control lever (t) to setting 40 Nm or
80 Nm as needed for application.
Clutch Setting 40 Nm (u) is designed
for most drilling applications and is
designed to easily clutch out when the
drill bit encounters re-bar or other foreign
substances.
Clutch Setting 80 Nm (v) is designed for
higher torque applications such as core-
bits and deep hole drilling and is designed
to clutch out at a higher torque threshold.
NOTE: Allow the motor housing to rotate a little
while changing torque.
Each time the tool is plugged in, it will
automatically default to clutch setting 1 into
clutch setting 40 Nm (u), the most sensitive
setting.
Depth Rod (fig. 1)
D25501, D25601, D25602, D25603
TO ADJUST THE DEPTH ROD
1. Push in and hold the depth rod release button
(n) on the side handle.
2. Move the depth rod (o) so the distance between
the end of the rod and the end of the bit equals
the desired drilling depth.
3. Release the button to lock rod into position.
When drilling with the depth rod, stop when end
of rod reaches surface of material.

OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
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.
WARNING: Tool bits may be hot and
gloves should be worn when changing
or removing them to avoid personal
injury.
WARNING:
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 but
decreases tool performance and may
shorten tool life.
Always hold the tool firmly with both
hands and ensure a secure stance.
Always operate the tool with the side
handle properly assembled.
NOTE: Operating temperature of the D25501 is
(-7 to +40˚ C (19˚ to 104˚ F). Using the tool outside
of this temperature range will decrease the life of the
tool.
Proper Hand Position (fig. 6)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the
side handle (c), with the other hand on the main
handle (d).
Switching On and Off (fig. 1)
D25501, D25601, D25602, D25603
