Electronic Speed and Impact Control (Fig. A)
The electronic speed and impact control allows the use of
optimal tool control for precisechiseling.
To set the electronic speed and impact control dial
10
, turn the
dial to the desired level. The higher the number, the greater the
speed and impact energy. Dial settings make the tool extremely
flexible and adaptable for many different appli cations. The
required setting depends on the chisel size and hardness of
material beingchiselled.
• When chiselling in soft, brittle materials or when minimum
break‑out is required, set the dial to a low setting;
• When breaking in harder materials, set the dial to a
highsetting.

Optional Accessory
Your hammer comes with mounting holes
11
and
fasteners
12
for installing a DeWALT Tool Tag. You will need a
T20 bit tip to install the tag. The DeWALT Tool Tag is designed
for tracking and locating professional power tools, equipment,
and machines using the DeWALT Tool Connect™ app. For proper
installation of the DeWALT Tool Tag refer to the DeWALT Tool
Tagmanual.
Active Vibration Control (AVC) System
For best vibration control, hold the tool as described in Proper
Hand Position and apply just enough pressure so the damping
device on the main handle is approximately midstroke.
The active vibration control neutralises rebound vibration from
the hammer mechanism. Lowering hand and arm vibration,
it allows more comfortable use for longer periods of time and
extends the life of theunit.
The hammer only needs enough pressure to engage the active
vibraton control. Applying too much pressure will not make
the tool drill or chip faster and active vibration control will
notengage.
Soft Start Feature
The soft start feature allows the impact rate to build up more
slowly, thus preventing the chisel or point from “bouncing”
around on the masonry when startingup.
