OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury:
• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
• Be aware of the location of pipework and wiring.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool. Excessive force does not speed up
drilling but decreases tool performance and may shorten tool life.
• To minimise stalling on break-through, progressively reduce the drill point
pressure towards the end of the operation.
