slight pressure on the tool when the drill bit is in
contact with the workpiece
- it takes a short time for the hammer mechanism to
reach full impact power
- best hammer drilling results can be obtained by only a
slight pressure on the tool; drilling performance will not
improve by applying more pressure on the tool
• Adjusting drilling depth
!
• Holding and guiding the tool
@
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s)

NOISE/VIBRATION
• Measured in accordance with EN 60745 the sound
pressure level of this tool is 88 dB(A) and the sound
power level 99 dB(A) (standard deviation: 3 dB), and the
vibration
✱
(hand-arm method; uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²)
✱
when hammer drilling in concrete 12 m/s²
• The vibration emission level has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745; it
may be used to compare one tool with another and as a
preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when
using the tool for the applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with different
or poorly maintained accessories, may significantly
increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may significantly
reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration
by maintaining the tool and its accessories,
keeping your hands warm, and organizing your
work patterns
