Overload Clutch
In case of jamming of a drill bit, the drive to the drill spindle is
interrupted by the overload clutch. Due to the resulting forces,
always hold the tool with both hands and take a firm stance.
After the overload, release and depress the trigger to
re-engage drive.
Mechanical Clutch
These tools are fitted with a mechanical clutch. The indication
that the clutch has activated will be an audible ratcheting

Recommendations for Tool Operation
• When drilling, always apply pressure in a straight line with
the bit, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or
deflect the bit. A smooth even flow of material indicates the
proper drilling rate.
• Your hammer can be used for dry diamond drilling into
masonry up to 100 mm. For diamond drilling above this
diameter in masonry and regular large diameter diamond
drilling in masonry and concrete, we advise the use of
a dedicated diamond core drill. Follow the core bit or
manufacturer's recommendations for using the accessory.
