Shocks – Active Vibration Control (Fig. 2)
For best vibration control, hold the tool with one hand on the main
handle (E) and the other hand on the side handle (A). Apply just enough
pressure so the SHOCKS (I) in the rear handle are halfway depressed.
The hammer only needs enough pressure to engage the internal active
vibration control. Applying too much pressure will not make the tool drill
faster and active vibration control will notengage.
