Use Guide

Before First Use

1. Inspect the tool and power cord for any damage.
2. Verify your power supply is 120V AC.

Using the SDS-Plus Keyless Chuck Adapter

1. Set the mode selector to "Rotation Only" (Drill Mode).
2. Install the SDS-Plus Keyless Chuck Adapter into the SDS-Plus chuck using the standard SDS-Plus installation method.
3. Open the keyless chuck jaws on the adapter by hand, insert a standard round-shank drill bit (max 1/2" diameter), and tighten the chuck securely by hand.
4. This setup is for drilling wood and metal. It is for short-term use and not recommended for long-duration drilling.

Drilling Procedure

1. Select the correct operating mode and install the appropriate bit.
2. Mark the drilling location.
3. For precise depth, install the depth gauge on the bit.
4. Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Position the bit perpendicular to the work surface.
5. Start the tool and apply steady, moderate pressure. Let the tool do the work; do not force it.
6. When drilling deep holes, periodically pull the bit out to clear dust from the hole.

Chiseling Procedure

1. Set the mode selector to "Hammering Only" (Chisel Mode).
2. Install an SDS-Plus chisel (flat or point).
3. Hold the tool firmly. Position the chisel at the desired angle on the work surface.
4. Start the tool. Use the adjustable handle to optimize your working angle and maintain control.

Maintenance

Adding Grease

Regular lubrication is required for optimal hammering performance.

1. Locate the grease port, typically near the chuck.
2. Apply approximately 0.7 to 1 ounce (20-30ml) of the provided or recommended hammer grease into the port.
3. Operate the tool in "Hammering Only" mode for a few seconds to distribute the grease.

When to grease: Add grease when you notice a decrease in hammering power.

Replacing Carbon Brushes

The motor uses carbon brushes that wear down with use.

1. Locate the brush caps on the sides of the motor housing.
2. Remove the caps using a screwdriver.
3. Remove the worn brushes and insert the new ones.
4. Replace the caps securely.

When to replace brushes: Replace if you notice excessive sparking, unusual odors, or a drop in power. Replacement parts can be found by searching for "Berserker carbon brushes" on Amazon.
