Expert Operational Guidelines

To ensure maximum tool longevity and safety, please adhere to these professional usage recommendations:

• Thermal Management: When utilizing large-diameter core bits (such as 2 5/8 inch), we recommend intermittent operation. Allowing the tool to run at no-load for 30 seconds between heavy cycles helps the internal cooling system dissipate heat effectively, preserving the motor's lifespan.
• Lubrication Maintenance: Periodic inspection of the tool shank is advised. If minor lubrication seepage is observed after extended high-intensity use, simply wipe the shank clean with a dry cloth. This is a common characteristic of high-pressure internal lubrication systems and does not indicate a defect if managed with regular maintenance.
• Tooling Compatibility: This unit is exclusively compatible with SDS-MAX shank bits. Please do not attempt to use standard key-based chucks or adapters, as this compromises the safety locking mechanism and may cause tool failure or operator injury. Always ensure the bit is securely locked into the SDS-MAX receiver before operation.
