Figure 3.1: Chisel shank dimensions. Ensure compatibility before insertion.
- Ensure the tool is unplugged from the power source.

- Pull on the chisel to ensure it is securely seated and cannot be easily removed.
3.3 Power Connection
- Ensure the power switch on the tool is in the 'OFF' position.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Starting and Stopping
- To start the tool, press the ON/OFF switch.
- To stop the tool, release or press the ON/OFF switch again, depending on the switch type (trigger or latching).
4.2 Chiseling Technique
This tool is designed for breaking and chiseling. Always maintain a firm grip and stable footing.
Figure 4.1: Proper posture and grip when operating the hammer drill for chiseling.
- Position the chisel tip against the material to be broken.
- Start the tool and apply steady, downward pressure. Allow the tool's percussion action to do the work. Avoid excessive force, which can lead to tool damage or user fatigue.
- For optimal efficiency, use the appropriate chisel (flat for wider breaking, pointed for initial penetration or precise work).
- Work systematically, moving the chisel along the desired breaking line.
4.3 Material Considerations
- Concrete and Stone: The hammer drill is highly effective on these materials. Start with a pointed chisel for initial penetration, then switch to a flat chisel for wider breaking.
- Brick: Exercise caution with brick to avoid excessive damage to surrounding areas.
- Always check for hidden electrical wires, water pipes, or other utilities before beginning any work.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Fartools One DBH 1700C Hammer Drill.

- Clean the exterior of the tool with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Remove any dust or debris from the ventilation openings to prevent overheating.
- Clean the tool holder thoroughly to ensure proper seating of chisels.
5.2 Lubrication
The hammer drill requires periodic lubrication to maintain its percussion mechanism. Use the provided oil pipette for this purpose.
