SHOCKS Active Vibration Control® System
(Fig. A, F)
D25604, D25652, D25831, D25851
For best vibration control, hold the tool with one hand
on the main handle
4
and the other hand on the side
handle
3
. Apply just enough pressure so the damping
device on the main handle is approximately mid stroke. The
hammer only needs enough pressure to engage the active
vibration control. Applying too much pressure will not make
the tool drill or chip faster and active vibration control will
notengage.

13
as far as
it will go. The groove on the chisel shank

E-Clutch® System (Fig. E)
D25604, D25652
In addition to the clutch, the
DeWALT
an anti-rotation
system, E-Clutch®, offers increased user comfort 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 stopped instantly. This
feature prevents self-rotation of the tool. The red indicator
LED

illuminates when the E-Clutch® System is engaged.
