This kit includes everything you need to take on heavy - duty concrete jobs. First, there's the Hitman 18V Connected - Ready BL Li - Ion 1 - 9/16 in. SDS - max Rotary Hammer (GBH18V - 36C). It's paired with two CORE18V 8 Ah PROFACTOR Performance Lithium - Ion Batteries (GBA18V80), an 18V Connected - Ready Turbo Charger (GAL18V - 160C), an auxiliary handle, and a carrying case.
The standout features of this rotary hammer are numerous. It offers Hitman PROFACTOR performance, delivering corded - like power for an 18V 1 - 9/16 in. SDS - max rotary hammer. With a superior impact of 5.2 ft - lbs. of impact energy (EPTA), it provides full performance in concrete during drilling and chiseling.
The compact design is a real plus. Weighing only 13.4 lbs. (with the included battery) and measuring 18 in. long, it's highly maneuverable on the jobsite. The BITURBO Brushless Technology, with its high - performance motor and drive - train system, makes the most of the extra power from CORE18V PROFACTOR batteries.
KickBack Control technology reduces the risk of sudden tool reactions when the tool binds. The on - tool user interface helps you manage tool performance, giving you immediate feedback and control. The anti - vibration main handle, with a longer air cushion in the hammer tube and dampeners in the handle, significantly reduces vibration from the impact mechanism.
The CORE18V PROFACTOR Performance Battery is compatible with all Bosch 18V tools. This 18V SDS - max 1 - 9/16 in. rotary hammer provides corded - type performance for tough concrete drilling or chiseling jobs. It's part of the PROFACTOR System, combining BITURBO Brushless Technology with a CORE18V PROFACTOR battery for power comparable to high - demand corded tools. The turbo charger can charge a CORE18V 8 Ah PROFACTOR Performance Battery up to 50% in 15 minutes and up to 80% in 26 minutes. It also features connectivity (module sold separately) to the free Bosch Toolbox app for custom settings.
Using this Bosch rotary hammer is straightforward. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. You can use the turbo charger to quickly get it up to speed. Once the battery is in place, attach the auxiliary handle for better control. For drilling or chiseling, select the appropriate mode on the tool - rotary hammer or hammer - only. You can also use the reverse setting when needed, and the Vario - Lock to rotate and lock the chisel.
When using the tool, always wear proper safety gear like goggles and gloves. Keep the tool away from water and wet surfaces. Don't use it in explosive atmospheres.
For maintenance, after each use, wipe down the tool to remove dust and debris. Check the battery regularly for any signs of damage. If you're not going to use the tool for a long time, store the battery separately and in a cool, dry place. Also, make sure to clean the air vents on the tool to keep it running efficiently. And don't forget to update the settings through the Bosch Toolbox app for the best performance.
