Operating Instructions

PADDLE "ON/OFF" SWITCH

The paddle switch enables the operator to control the switch functions of "ON /OFF".

TO SWITCH THE TOOL "ON": Squeeze and hold the paddle lever. TO SWITCH THE

TOOL "OFF ": Release pressure on the paddle lever. The switch is spring loaded and will return automatically.

"TOOL TIPS"

The tool may be switched on with either hand. Balance the tool with both hands and rest the tool on the hip.

For the best penetration rates in concrete, run the tool with a steady pressure, but do not use excessive force as this will decrease the efficiency of the tool. Start chipping with the tool in a straight in position until the surface to be broken is chipped. Draw the hammer back at an angle of 60˚ with the surface to be broken. Apply only enough force to keep the tool weight on the accessory

All grease packed hammers require a short period of time to warm up. Depending on the room temperature, this time may vary from approximately 15 seconds (90˚F) to 2 minutes

(32˚F). A new hammer requires a break-in period before full performance is realized. This period may require up to 5 hours of operation.

Avoid no load running of the tool. No load or "empty blows" is the most damaging factor to any impact hammer.

An electric hammer is likely to be the most expensive portable tool at the construction job. The long wear and efficient operation of the BOSCH hammers will more than justify the cost for tools of this type. As earlier pointed out, sharp accessories as well as clean air vents are necessary for efficient operation. Establish and follow a set maintenance program.
