Manual and Troubleshooting for Your D25262K
Refer to the included manual or visit the DEWALT support site for the complete D25262K manual. If your D25262K is not hammering, first check the mode selector: it must be in hammer or hammer-drill mode, not drill-only. Confirm the SDS+ bit is fully locked in the chuck, and try a sharp bit. If the tool still won't hammer, inspect the power cord and trigger, and contact a qualified service center if needed.
Choose the Right SDS+ Bit
The D25262K accepts SDS+ drill bits, chisels, and core bits. For standard drilling in concrete and brick, use a carbide-tipped SDS+ bit. For chipping, use an SDS+ chisel. Always match the bit to the material and let the tool do the work.

Product Details
Why Impact Energy Matters
The D25262K delivers 2.8 joules of impact energy, which is a strong balance of performance and size for a 1-inch SDS+ rotary hammer. It powers through anchor holes, conduit holes, and light chipping without the bulk of a heavier demolition hammer.
Active Vibration Control Keeps You Working
Prolonged use of a rotary hammer can cause hand fatigue. DEWALT's Active Vibration Control isolates the handle from much of the impact vibration, so you can drill more holes with less rest. This is especially useful for overhead work and long installation runs.
Cleaner Work with Dust Extraction
When paired with the D25301D dust extraction system, the D25262K helps keep silica dust out of the air and off the floor. This makes indoor drilling faster to clean up and safer for your lungs.

Why is my D25262K running but not hammering?

Professional grade
I used this to drill 50 holes in a concrete foundation. The SDS+ bits go in like butter. The vibration control is no joke—my arms didn't go numb. The chipping mode works well for rebar cleanup. It comes with a side handle that makes control easy. This is a professional-grade tool at a great price.

Solid but heavy
Solid hammer, bit heavy for long jobs. Still, it works well.
