3. Begin with the chisel positioned at an angle of 70° to 80° to the concrete surface, with the tip of the chisel
pointing toward the edge of the workpiece. Break material away by subsequently increasing the angle to
approx. 90° as the chisel penetrates.
▶ When working close to reinforcing bars, always guide the tip of the chisel toward the edge of the
workpiece, not toward a reinforcing bar.
4. Rotate the chisel regularly to help ensure even wear and to promote the self-sharpening process.
5.2.2 Setting the chiseling power
▶ Press the power level selector switch.
▶ Chiseling power can be reduced to approx. 70% by pressing the power level selector switch.
Chiseling power can be adjusted only when the power tool is switched on and ready for use. To
reselect full chiseling power, press the chiseling power level selector switch again. Switching off
and then on again also causes the power tool to return to full chiseling power.
