Intended Use

flammable liquids orgases.
Your rotary hammer is a professional powertool.
DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool.
Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use
thistool.
• Young children and the infirm. This appliance is not
intended for use by young children or infirm persons
withoutsupervision.
• This product is not intended for use by persons (including
children) suffering from diminished physical, sensory or

Active Vibration Control
For best vibration control, hold the tool as described in Proper
HandPosition.
The active vibration control neutralises rebound vibration from
the hammer mechanism. Lowering hand and arm vibration,
it allows more comfortable use for longer periods of time and
extends the life of theunit.
The hammer only needs enough pressure to engage the active
vibraton control. Applying too much pressure will not make
the tool drill or chip faster and active vibration control will
notengage.
