The DeWalt D25481K 1-9/16 In. SDS max combination hammer is a powerful and efficient tool. Its German-engineered mechanism, known for durability and strong hitting power, generates 6.1 joules of impact energy. This allows for rapid drilling, even in the toughest concrete. The hammer's lightweight design is perfect for horizontal serial drilling of #4 - #8 rebar, coring, and chipping on mid to upper walls and ceilings. With active vibration control technology, it reduces the vibration felt by the user, minimizing fatigue and boosting productivity. Key features include corded-like power without the cord, rebar doweling for #4 - #8 rebar, shock absorption through active vibration control, and horizontal serial drilling capabilities. Specifications: It has 10.5 amps, 3150 blasts per minute, a 1-9/16' chuck capacity, an SDS Max chuck size, a keyless chuck design, 6.1 joules of impact energy, a max RPM of 540, weighs 13 lbs., is 17.84' long, and has a D-ring handle type. It can be made OSHA silica compliant with an attachment and a dust extractor. Consider DeWalt DWH053K for large hammer dust extraction during chiseling, DeWalt DWH050K for hole cleaning, DeWalt DWV010 8 Gal HEPA/RRP dust extractor with automatic filter cleaning, and DeWalt SDS MAX hollow bits.

Using the DeWalt D25481K is easy. First, make sure you've selected the right bit for the job, whether it's for drilling rebar or chipping. When starting, hold the hammer firmly with the D-ring handle for better control. Press the trigger gently to start the drilling or chipping process. For horizontal serial drilling, take your time and keep the tool steady. The active vibration control will help reduce the shaking, making it more comfortable to use. When it comes to safety, always wear appropriate safety gear like goggles and gloves. And don't forget to make it OSHA silica compliant by using the recommended dust extraction attachments and extractors. This will help keep the air clean and protect your health. For maintenance, after each use, wipe down the tool to remove any dust or debris. Check the chuck regularly to ensure it's clean and functioning properly. If you notice any issues with the hammer, stop using it and have it checked by a professional. Also, keep the tool in a dry place to prevent rust and damage.
