Using the Bosch GBH18V - 26K25 is a breeze. First, make sure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Then, select the right bit for your job and insert it into the keyless chuck. Hold the tool with the 360° side handle in a comfortable position. When starting, the Electronic Precision Control will give you a slow ramp - up for accurate bit starts. For heavy - duty jobs in concrete, the high impact energy will do the work efficiently. During use, the KickBack Control will keep you safe from sudden tool reactions, and the Vibration Control will reduce fatigue. As for maintenance, keep the tool clean after each use. Wipe off any dust or debris. When not in use, store the tool in the carrying case. Charge the batteries regularly, but don't overcharge them. The CoolPack 2.0 technology in the batteries helps with heat management, but still, avoid using the tool in extremely hot conditions for long periods. Also, make sure to use Bosch PRO+GUARD™ dust solutions when working in dusty environments to protect yourself and the tool.
