AUXILIARY HANDLE
The tool must be supported with the auxiliary
handle , which can be swiveled 360˚. To
reposition and/or swivel the handle, loosen
the hand grip, move the handle to the
desired position along the barrel and
securely retighten the hand grip.
"TOOL TIPS"
For the best penetration rates in concrete,
run the tool with a steady pressure, but do
not use excessive force as this will decrease
the efficiency of the tool.
All grease packed hammers require a short
period of time to warm up. Depending on the
room temperature, this time may vary from

approximately 15 seconds (90˚F) to 2
minutes (32˚F). A new hammer requires a
break-in period before full performance is
realized. This period may require up to 5
hours of operation.
An electric hammer is likely to be the most
expensive portable tool at the construction
job. The long wear and efficient operation of
the BOSCH hammers will more than justify
the cost for tools of this type. As earlier
pointed out, sharp accessories as well as
clean air vents are necessary for efficient
operation. Establish and follow a set
maintenance program.
