Users swear by this powerful tool, which has proved itself in continuous duty on building, renovation and chiseling jobs. This powerhouse is equipped with three functions for universal use: impact drilling, drilling and chiseling with lock. Its SDS-Plus chuck enables drills and chisels to be changed quickly without tools. The rotary hammer has a powerful motor with a 1,250 W rating and a pneumatic impact mechanism to develop a massive impact power of 3.5 joules and very good forward traction for coping with every tough assignment. To make lighter work of heavy duty work it has a vibration-cushioned handle for suppressing vibrations during use. The aluminium gear head of the RT-RH 32 is typical of its robust design. High safety during operation is assured by an overload safety stop which reacts immediately to any sudden jamming of the drill. A sturdy, adjustable drilling depth stop made of metal enables exact, repeat drilling depths. With ribs and soft grip the additional handle enables safe, user-friendly handling. Tidiness is quickly restored by a cable clip for securing the wound-up cable. The machine comes complete with 3 drills ( 8, 10, 12 mm) as well as one pointed chisel and one flat chisel so that you can commence work immediately. The rotary hammer RT-RH 32 is stored neatly and safely in a practical transport and storage case.
The Einhell Rotary Hammer RT-RH 32 is designed for demanding construction, renovation, and chiseling tasks, offering a powerful 1250W motor and 3.5 joules of impact energy for continuous duty. While it excels in heavy-duty applications, its robust power might be overkill for lighter DIY projects. Key features include three modes (hammer drilling, drilling, chiseling), SDS-Plus chuck for quick accessory changes, overload safety stop, and vibration-dampened handle.

FAQs
What is the difference between drilling and hammer drilling mode?
Drilling mode operates like a standard drill, rotating the bit without hammering. Hammer drilling mode combines rotation with a powerful hammering action, ideal for drilling into hard materials like concrete and masonry.
Can I use standard drill bits with this rotary hammer?
No, this rotary hammer requires SDS-Plus shank bits and chisels for proper function and secure locking in the SDS-Plus chuck.
How do I switch between the three functions?
There is a mode selector located on the tool, typically a dial or switch, allowing you to choose between drilling, hammer drilling, and chiseling (often with a chisel rotation lock).
What is the purpose of the overload safety stop?
The overload safety stop is a safety feature that immediately disengages the motor if the drill bit jams or binds in the material, helping to prevent injury to the user and damage to the tool.
Does the tool come with drill bits and chisels?
Yes, the Einhell RT-RH 32 typically comes complete with a set of drill bits (e.g., 8mm, 10mm, 12mm) and chisels (pointed and flat) for immediate use, along with a practical transport case.
What is the warranty period for this rotary hammer?
> Info needed: Specific warranty duration for the Einhell RT-RH 32.
How should I maintain the tool for longevity?
Keep air vents clean, wipe down the exterior, store in its case, and regularly inspect the power cord. Avoid exposing the tool to excessive moisture or dust.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not power on.
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning outlet. Verify that the power switch is in the 'on' position. Ensure the overload safety stop has not been tripped (if applicable).
Low impact power or drilling speed.
Ensure the correct mode (drilling, hammer drilling, or chiseling) is selected. Check for any obstructions in the air vents or chuck. Clean or replace worn drill bits/chisels. For drilling, ensure you are using appropriate pressure and the correct bit for the material.
Chuck not holding accessory securely.
Ensure the SDS-Plus bit or chisel is fully inserted until it clicks. Inspect the chuck for debris or damage. If the issue persists, the chuck may require service.
Excessive vibration.
While the tool has vibration dampening, ensure you are maintaining a firm grip on both handles. Check that the accessory is properly seated. Excessive vibration beyond normal operational levels could indicate a component issue and may require professional inspection.
