How to use

Before use, select an appropriate drill or chisel bit for the intended material and secure it in the tool's chuck according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure correct personal protective equipment is worn, including eye protection and hearing protection as needed. Position the rotary hammer on the marked location, hold it firmly with both hands, and start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase pressure as required while allowing the tool's hammer action to progress the cut. For chiseling, use the correct mode and maintain a steady, controlled motion. After finishing, allow the tool to stop completely before setting it down and disconnect power or remove the battery pack when changing accessories.

Usage recommendations

Use drill bits and chisels rated for masonry or concrete to ensure effective drilling performance and longer accessory life. For repetitive or deep drilling, work in short intervals to avoid overheating. Keep vents clear of dust and debris, and inspect accessories regularly for wear. When working overhead or in confined spaces, adopt a stable stance and use both hands to maintain control. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for battery, brush, and fastening checks to ensure consistent performance.
