Four operating modes – drilling, impact drilling, chasing (chipping off), and chisel positioning – make the machine truly versatile, for it manages remarkably not only in activities such as hole drilling in hard construction materials, but also while old plaster or wall cladding is being removed.
Dust-proof bearings of the power tool’s mechanisms allow it to work longer without failure.
The rotary hammer’s LED light illuminates the workplace for increased user comfort and work safety.
