centres itself during operation without affecting
drilling precision
! do not use bits/chisels with a damaged shank
• Safety clutch
if the accessory gets jammed, the drive to the spindle is
interrupted (causing a rattling noise)
- immediately switch off tool

NOISE / VIBRATION
• Measured in accordance with EN 60745 the sound
pressure level of this tool is 94.0 dB(A) and the sound
power level 105.0 dB(A) (uncertainty K = 3 dB), and the
vibration ✱ (triax vector sum; uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²)
when hammer drilling in concrete 18.7 m/s²
✱
when chiseling 20.3 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
