purchase a replacement battery pack
Reduce pressure before breakthrough
Ensure hammer mode is off to prevent damage to cutting
teeth and reduce possibility of jamming
Ensure the core drill max speed and diameter are compatible
with the drill
Regularly empty this build-up of debris to ensure safe
operation
Take frequent breaks and read the sections in this manual
regarding vibration
Contact an authorised service centre
Contact an authorised service centre
Switch off the tool and let it cool down to room temperature.
Inspect and clean the ventilation slots
Contact an authorised service centre
Enable hammer mode
Replace SDS Plus drill bit
Drilling speed will be slow in such material. A smaller pilot
drill can be drilled first to speed up the drilling process
Clean out chuck by facing downwards and vacuuming while
operating the chuck as if to insert bits.
