Considerations
- For Demolition Work Only: This tool is a demolition hammer and does not have rotary drilling functions like a rotary hammer; therefore, it cannot be used for rotary drilling.
- 17 mm HEX Tool Holder: Must be used with 17 mm HEX shank chisels only; not compatible with SDS-Max or SDS-Plus chisels.
- Weight: Although designed for ease of use, it remains a tool with considerable weight (approx. 5.6 – 5.7 kg), which may cause fatigue during extended continuous use or in awkward positions.
- Accessories: Always select quality chisels appropriate for the task to ensure maximum efficiency and safety.
