Active Vibration Control, Electrical Safety

ENGLISH

DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool.

Active Vibration Control

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.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Your DEWALT tool is double insulated in accordance with EN 60745; therefore no earth wire is required.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available through the DEWALT service organization.

Mains Plug Replacement (U.K. & Ireland Only)

If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:

•Safely dispose of the old plug.

•Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the plug.

•Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.

WARNING: No connection is to be made to the earth terminal.

Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs. Recommended fuse: 13 A.

For 115 V units with a power rating exceeding 1500 W, we recommend to fit a plug to BS4343 standard.
