chiselled, or cracking is to be kept to a minimum,
set the adjusting wheel to "1" to "2" (low impact

8 Tips and Tricks

When working with the chisel hammer, only a
moderate amount of press-on pressure (approx.
20 kg) is required. High press-on pressure does
not increase work capacity and can possibly
shorten the service life of your tool.
In the case of deep bores, pull the drill bit out of the
bore from time to time in order to remove the stone
dust.

9 Maintenance

Motor cleaning: blow out the machine regularly
and thoroughly through the air slots with
compressed air.
