How to use

Fit the appropriate SDS Plus bit for the task and ensure it locks into place. Select the correct operating mode if the tool provides drilling or chiseling options, set the desired speed and engage the trigger while maintaining a firm, balanced grip. For drilling, start at low speed to position the bit accurately, then increase speed and steady pressure as the hole progresses. For chiseling, use controlled strikes and move the tool in short passes to avoid overloading the motor. Always insert the charged battery and confirm the battery is properly seated before operation.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask when working with concrete and masonry. Select SDS Plus bits rated for concrete and match bit diameter to the anchor or fixture being installed. Allow the tool to cool during extended heavy use and inspect bits for wear or damage before each use.
