Read the user manual provided by the manufacturer to understand the specific features and functions of your SDS rotary hammer.

Inspect the tool for any visible damage before use.

 

 

 

 

2. Safety First:

 

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, hearing protection, and dust masks.

Ensure a clean and well-lit work area to minimize accidents.

 

 

 

 

3. Power Source:

 

For corded models, connect the tool to a compatible power source using a grounded electrical outlet.

For cordless models, ensure the battery is fully charged before use.

 

 

 

 

4. Tool Setup:

 

Select the appropriate SDS drill bit or chisel for your task. Ensure it is securely inserted into the chuck and locked in place.

Adjust the depth stop if necessary to control the drilling depth.

 

 

 

5. Mode Selection:

 

Most SDS rotary hammers offer multiple modes, including drilling, hammer drilling, and chiseling. Select the desired mode based on your application.

 

6. Speed and Impact Adjustment:

 

Adjust the speed and impact settings according to the material you are working on. Higher speeds may be suitable for softer materials, while lower speeds with higher impact are ideal for harder surfaces.

 

 

 

7. Starting the Tool:

 

Hold the tool firmly with both hands, maintaining a stable stance.

Depress the trigger to start the tool. Allow the tool to reach full speed before engaging with the workpiece.
