The rotary hammer can be fitted with various chisel bits
depending on the desired application. Use sharp drill
bitsonly.
Bit Reccomendations
• For wood, use twist bits, spade bits, power auger bits or
holesaws.
• For metal, use high-speed steel twist drill bits or
holesaws. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be
drilleddry.
• For masonry, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc.,
use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussiondrilling.

SHOCKS Active Vibration Control®
System
For best vibration control, hold the tool as described in
Proper Hand Position and apply just enough pressure so
the damping device on the main handle is approximately
mid stroke. The hammer only needs enough pressure to
engage the active vibration control. Applying too much
pressure will not make the tool actuate faster and active
vibration control will notengage.
Overload Clutch
In case of jamming of a drill bit, the drive to the drill spindle
is interrupted by the overload clutch. Due to the resulting
forces, always hold the tool with both hands and take a
firmstance. After the overload, release and depress the
trigger to re-engagedrive.
