NOTE:
Only use accessories with SDS or
SDS Plus shanks.
Be sure that the shank of the bit is clean.
Dirt particles may cause the bit to line up
improperly. Do not use bits larger than the
maximum recommended capacity of the drill
because gear damage or motor overloading
may result. For best performance, be sure
that the bit is properly sharpened and the
shank is lightly greased before use.

should be possible to pull the bit back
and forth slightly (about 1/4”).
5. To remove bits and chisels, pull bit
holder release collar toward the rear of
tool and remove bit.
NOTE:
Use caution when handling hot
bits and chisels.
