Anti-Rotation System (Fig. D)
In addition to the clutch, an anti-rotation system offers increased
user comfort and safety through an on-board, anti-rotation
technology capable of detecting if the user loses control of
the hammer. When a jam is detected, the torque and speed are
reduced instantly. This feature prevents self rotation of the tool
reducing the occurrence of wrist injuries.
The anti-rotation system indicator

Active Vibration Control
For best vibration control, hold the tool as described in Proper
Hand Position.
The active vibration control neutralises rebound vibration from
the hammer mechanism. Lowering hand and arm vibration,
it allows more comfortable use for longer periods of time and
extends the life of the unit.
The hammer only needs enough pressure to engage the active
vibraton control. Applying too much pressure will not make
the tool drill or chip faster and active vibration control will
not engage.

of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge
will not illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
nOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on
the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end-user application.
Side Handle (Fig. A)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS
operate the tool with the side handle properly installed.
Failure to do so may result in the side handle slipping
during tool operation and subsequent loss of control. Hold
tool with both hands to maximize control.
The side handle

clamps to the front of the gear case and
may be rotated 360˚ to permit right- or left-hand use. The side
handle must be tightened sufficiently to resist the twisting
action of the tool if the accessory binds or stalls. Be sure to grip
the side handle at the far end to control the tool during a stall.
To loosen side handle, rotate counterclockwise.
Bit and Bit Holder
WARNING: Burn Hazard. ALWAYS wear gloves when
changing bits. Accessible metal parts on the tool and bits
may get extremely hot during operation. Small bits of
broken material may damage bare hands.
The hammerdrill can be fitted with different bits depending on
the desired application. Use sharp drill bits only.
