FAQs
Does this drill use standard bits?
No, this unit is designed specifically for SDS Plus shank bits.
Can I use this for mixing mortar?
While the motor is powerful, the tool is primarily designed for drilling and chiseling; consult your accessory manual to ensure the mixer attachment is compatible with the SDS Plus chuck.
What is the maximum speed of the drill?
The maximum rated speed is 850 RPM.
Is this tool suitable for overhead drilling?
Due to its 5.4 kg weight, it may cause fatigue when used overhead for extended periods. We recommend using a ladder or lift for stability.
Does the drill include a reverse function?
Yes, the drill features a reverse setting, which is useful for backing out bits that become stuck in tough material.
Is the speed adjustment dial easy to use?
Yes, it is designed for thumb operation to allow for quick adjustments while maintaining your grip on the tool.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit does not rotate when motor is on
Ensure the mode selector is firmly clicked into the 'Drilling' or 'Hammer Drilling' position rather than the 'Chiseling' position.
Tool feels underpowered during concrete drilling
Check that the bit is a sharp, high-quality SDS Plus masonry bit. Dull bits significantly reduce performance.
Excessive vibration during use
Ensure the side handle is securely tightened and the bit is correctly seated in the chuck.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before operation, ensure the drill is connected to a stable AC power source consistent with the tool's rating. To set up, slide your compatible SDS Plus bit into the quick-release chuck until it clicks firmly into place. For maintenance, keep the ventilation slots clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating. Regularly inspect the cord for fraying and ensure the hammer mechanism is adequately lubricated according to the manufacturer’s schedule. Store the unit in its provided case to protect the internal pneumatic components from environmental moisture.
