Correct use
The tool is designed for drilling in concrete and mason-
ry. The tool may also be used for light to medium-duty
chiseling work.
The working environment may be on a construction site
or in a workshop and may consist of renovation, con-
version or new building work.
The tool is an electrically powered rotary hammer drill
and breaker with a pneumatic hammering mechanism.
The ATC function TE 56-ATC (active torque control) pro-
vides additional safety for the user when drilling. The tool
is intended for professional use.
The tool is equipped with electronic overload protection.
This reduces motor speed or, if necessary, stops the
motor when the tool is subjected to sustained overload.
The motor provides full power again as soon as the con-
trol switch is released and then pressed again. When
restarting, care should thus be taken to ensure that the
tool is held securely with both hands.
