the user loses control of the hammer. When a jam
is detected, the torque and speed are reduced
instantly. This feature prevents self rotation of the tool
reducing the occurrence of wrist injuries.

when the carbon brushes are nearly worn out to
indicate that the tool needs servicing within the next

lock-on button (b) is used in any mode except the
chipping mode. On models fitted with Ultimate
Torque Control (UTC), the red LED indicator (r) lights
up if the anti-rotational device is activated. The red
indicator starts to flash if there is a fault with the tool
or the brushes have completely worn out (refer to
Brushes under Maintenance).
