SHOCKS Active Vibration Control®

System

For best vibration control, hold the tool as described in

Proper Hand Position

and apply just enough pressure so

the damping device on the main handle is approximately

mid stroke. The hammer only needs enough pressure to

engage the active vibration control. Applying too much

pressure will not make the tool chip faster and active

vibration control will not engage.
