Using the Bosch GBH18V-28DCN rotary hammer is straightforward. First, make sure you've attached the auxiliary handle for better control. When starting a drill bit, use the variable-speed trigger to start slowly and accurately. You can adjust the speed according to the material you're drilling into. For overhead or horizontal drilling, the D-handle design provides a comfortable and stable grip. If you're working in a dusty environment, consider using the optional GDE28D cordless dust-extraction unit for a cleaner workspace. Safety is important. Always wear appropriate safety gear, like goggles and gloves. The KickBack Control feature helps reduce the risk of sudden tool reactions, but still be cautious. When not in use, hang the tool on a well-supported structure using the HammerHook. For maintenance, keep the tool clean and dry. Check the chuck regularly to ensure it's in good condition. The brushless motor is low-maintenance, but if you notice any performance issues, refer to the user manual. And remember, the connectivity module (sold separately) can be used to customize settings via the Bosch Toolbox app on your connected device for a more personalized experience.
