Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your hammer drill is unplugged or the battery is removed for safety.
- Open the chuck mechanism of your SDS Hex Shank hammer drill.
- Insert the SDS Hex Shank end of the chisel firmly into the chuck.
- Close and lock the chuck mechanism according to your hammer drill's instructions.
- Ensure the chisel is securely seated and does not wobble.
Compatibility:
This chisel is specifically designed for use with hammer drills that feature an SDS Hex Shank chuck system. It is not compatible with standard round shanks or other SDS types (e.g., SDS-Plus, SDS-Max) unless they are specifically Hex Shank compatible. Always confirm your drill's chuck type before use.
Care:
- After use, clean the chisel thoroughly to remove dust and debris. A damp cloth is usually sufficient.
- Store the chisel in a dry place to prevent rust.
- Periodically inspect the shank for any damage or wear that might affect its secure fit.
- Apply a light coat of oil to the metal surface if storing for extended periods to prevent corrosion.
