How to use

Install a compatible 12V XR battery before operation and ensure it is fully charged. Fit an appropriate SDS or compatible drill bit for the intended masonry or concrete task, secure the bit, and select the correct mode if the tool offers multiple functions. Hold the tool with a firm two-handed grip, position the bit at the intended drilling point, start at low speed to establish the hole, then apply steady pressure and allow the tool's hammering action to do the work. After use, remove the battery and store both tool and batteries in a dry, ventilated area.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask. For best battery life, use compatible high-quality 12V XR batteries and follow the manufacturer's charging and storage instructions. When drilling reinforced concrete or performing prolonged heavy work, consider using a higher-voltage rotary hammer to match task demands.
