2. Safety Instructions
Always observe general safety regulations when operating power tools. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
- Work Area Safety: Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
- Electrical Safety: Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not abuse the cord. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
- Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection, hearing protection, and suitable work gloves. Use a dust mask if working in dusty conditions. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
- Tool Use and Care: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
- Specific Demolition Hammer Safety: Be aware of hidden wiring or pipes when chiseling into walls. Hold the tool firmly with both hands. The tool produces significant vibration; take breaks to reduce exposure.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Power Connection
Connect the power cord to a suitable grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the tool's requirements (refer to technical specifications).
6.2 Switching On and Off
- To Switch On: Press the ON/OFF trigger switch.
- For Continuous Operation: Press the ON/OFF trigger switch and then engage the lock switch. The tool will continue to run without holding the trigger.
- To Switch Off (from continuous operation): Briefly press and release the ON/OFF trigger switch.
- To Switch Off (from momentary operation): Release the ON/OFF trigger switch.
6.3 Demolition Work
Hold the demolition hammer firmly with both hands. Position the chisel against the material to be broken. Apply steady pressure and allow the hammer's impact action to do the work. Do not apply excessive force, as this can reduce efficiency and damage the tool.
Note: The vibration-damped main handle helps reduce user fatigue. However, for prolonged use, take regular breaks to minimize exposure to vibrations.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your demolition hammer.
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the tool housing with a dry cloth. Do not use water or chemical cleaners. Keep ventilation openings clear of dust and debris.
- Tool Holder Lubrication: Regularly apply a small amount of the supplied grease to the SDS-max tool holder and chisel shanks to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.
- Carbon Brushes: The carbon brushes are wear parts. If the motor performance decreases significantly or sparks become excessive, have the carbon brushes checked and replaced by a qualified service technician.
- Storage: Store the tool in its carrying case in a dry, secure place, out of reach of children.
