•  Before working on the drilling rod with your

N.B.  
Never start percussion with the drill bit free without any resistance. 
 
1.  Operate the feeder until the spike is approx. 10 cm from the rock.

3.  Move the drill bit forward until it is pressed against the rock.

pressure is engaged for too long then the drill steel can detach from the shank 
adapter.
