(2) To attach the tool (SDS max shank), insert it into
the hole until it contacts the innermost end of the
hole as illustrated in Fig. 2.
If you continue to turn the tool with slight pressure,
you can feel a spot where there is a hitch. At that
spot, pull the grip to the direction of an arrow mark
and insert the tool all the way until it hits the
innermost end.
Releasing the grip reverts the grip and secures the
tool in place.

properly tightened before using the tool.

gripped firmly during operation.
2. How to chisel or demolish (Fig. 4)
By applying the drill bit tip to the chiseling or
demolishing position, operate the rotary hammer
by utilizing its empty weight.
Forcible pressing or thrusting is unnecessary.
