Should your mains plug need replacing and you are competent to do this, proceed as instructed below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorized BERNER repair agent or a qualified electrician.

The hammering function requires the bit to be able to move axially several centimetres when locked in the tool holder. To remove a bit pull back the tool holder locking sleeve (6) and pull the bit out of the tool holder. The higher the number, the greater the speed and impact energy. With dial settings from , , 1" (low) to , , 7" (full power) the tool is extremely versatile and adaptable for many different applications.
