Active Vibration Control 

D25901, D25941

The active vibration control neutralizes 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.

Electronic Impact Energy Control Dial

D25901 ONLY (FIG. 1)

The electronic impact energy control dial (C) offers optimal tool control for precise 

chiselling with minimal break-out when chiselling soft or brittle materials. It also 

allows the use of smaller accessories without risk of breakage.
