Detailed Description

The 79510 Rotary Hammer is designed to deliver rotary drilling combined with hammer action for harder materials. Its SDS-PLUS chuck system holds compatible bits securely and is intended for masonry drilling and chiseling accessories rather than standard metal-cutting or multi-part hole-cutter attachments.

Key parts mentioned in the manual include the on/off trigger switch, operational mode selection switch, auxiliary handle, unlocking button, depth gauge, replacement drill chuck, and the bit-holding hex housing. The tool is intended for two-handed control, with the auxiliary handle providing extra stability when higher resistance or recoil is expected.

The hammering action is intended to help the bit break through concrete and similar materials more efficiently than a standard drill. The tool also continues to rotate briefly after the trigger is released, so it must be set down only after the spindle has fully stopped.

Safety

Safe use of the 79510 Rotary Hammer starts with keeping the work area clean, bright, and free from flammable vapors, liquids, or dust. Children and bystanders should stay away from the work zone, and the tool should never be used in rain or damp conditions unless proper electrical protection is in place.

Always use the correct outlet and extension cord arrangement, keep the cord away from heat and sharp edges, and disconnect power before adjusting, storing, or changing accessories. Wear eye protection, hearing protection, dust protection, safety shoes, and a hard hat when the job calls for it.

The tool should be held firmly with both hands, and the auxiliary handle should always be used. Avoid overreaching, loose clothing, jewelry, and unintentional starting. Let the bit cool before touching or changing it, since bits can become very hot during operation.

Extra care is required when a bit jams, when working near hidden wiring or pipes, and when the tool is used for long periods because vibration can cause injury. Users with pacemakers should seek medical advice before use and follow additional precautions to reduce the risk of interference.

Setup and Operation

Before any setup or accessory change, switch the tool off and unplug it from the power source. Confirm that the fixed handle is secure and that the selected accessory matches the job and the chuck type.

To fit a bit, insert it into the hex housing and lock it by turning the stop lever half a turn counterclockwise. Make sure the bit is seated firmly before starting work. The manual warns against using the tool until the accessory is fully secured.

Operation is handled through the trigger switch in the handle. Hold the tool with both hands, apply the bit to the work surface, and squeeze the trigger to begin. Release the trigger to stop the tool. Because the hammer action may continue for a short time after release, keep the tool under control until all motion stops.

For best results, let the tool do the work instead of forcing it. In stubborn material, it may be necessary to apply the bit tip to the surface and allow the striking action to begin naturally. If the tool has been idle in cold conditions, the oil may thicken; running the machine for about five minutes can help restore normal striking performance.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps keep the 79510 Rotary Hammer operating safely and efficiently. Inspect the tool before use, and replace dull bits promptly because worn cutting edges reduce performance and may strain the motor.

Check all mounting screws and the handle fasteners regularly and tighten them if needed. Keep the motor housing dry and free of oil or water, and avoid blocking the ventilation openings.

The carbon brushes are wear parts and should be replaced when they are worn down. The manual also notes that the tool should not be forced if a bit becomes stuck, and debris should be cleared by moving the tool in and out during use. If the tool becomes hot during extended chiseling, stop and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes.

Before operation, the lubrication level should be checked and the screw kept tight according to the manual’s maintenance notes. Cleaning should be done with safe methods only; volatile solvents such as gasoline, naphtha, acetone, or lacquer thinner should not be used.

Troubleshooting

Tool will not start: check the cord connection, verify outlet power, allow the tool to cool if a thermal reset has tripped, or have the unit serviced if internal wear is suspected.
Tool runs slowly: reduce pressure on the workpiece and avoid long or undersized extension cords.
Tool overheats: let the tool work at its own pace, clean blocked vents, and reduce extension cord strain.
Excessive noise or rattling: internal wear or damage may be present, which calls for qualified service.
Performance drops over time: worn carbon brushes may need replacement by a qualified technician.

Pros & Cons

Pros: strong 800W motor for its class, SDS-PLUS bit holding system, useful impact energy for masonry work, two-handed control, and clear safety and maintenance guidance.
Pros: suitable for drilling concrete, steel, and wood within the stated capacities.
Cons: no reverse direction, not intended for metal-cutting drills or fly cutters, and extended use can create heat and vibration that require breaks and careful handling.
Cons: the tool relies on proper technique and regular upkeep, especially bit condition, brush wear, and secure fasteners.

Faqs

How do I install a bit correctly in the 79510 Rotary Hammer before starting work?

Make sure the tool is unplugged and the switch is off before fitting any accessory. Insert the bit into the SDS-PLUS chuck or hex housing as required, then lock it securely so it cannot wobble or pull free during use. The manual stresses that the bit must be firmly seated before you begin. After installation, check stability by making sure it sits straight and does not vibrate excessively when the tool is started.

What safety gear should I wear when using the 79510 Rotary Hammer?

The manual recommends eye protection, hearing protection, a dust mask, and suitable safety footwear, with a hard hat when the job requires it. Ear defenders are especially important because rotary hammer noise can exceed safe workplace levels. Wear gloves only if they do not interfere with control, and keep clothing, jewelry, and long hair away from moving parts. Using the right protective gear helps reduce injury from dust, noise, vibration, and flying debris.

How can I reduce vibration and fatigue while operating the 79510 Rotary Hammer?

Use both hands and hold the tool firmly but without excessive force, because letting the hammer drill do the work reduces vibration transfer. Keep a stable stance, take regular breaks, and avoid long uninterrupted sessions. The manual also advises using gloves and stopping immediately if you notice tingling, numbness, or color changes in your fingers. People with circulation problems, certain medical conditions, or pacemakers should get medical advice before using the tool.

What should I do if the rotary hammer starts slowly or feels underpowered?

First, check whether you are pressing too hard, because excessive pressure can reduce performance. The tool is designed to work at its own pace, so steady guidance is better than forcing it. If you are using an extension cord, make sure it is short enough and thick enough for the load, since a small or long cord can reduce power. Also confirm the outlet is supplying proper voltage and the tool is suited to the task.

Why is my 79510 Rotary Hammer overheating, and how can I prevent it?

Overheating usually happens when the tool is forced too hard, the motor vents are blocked, or the extension cord is not suitable. Let the tool work at a moderate pace and avoid pushing it beyond its designed capacity. If dust has built up around the motor, clear it carefully while the tool is disconnected. The manual also recommends stopping work and allowing the tool to cool if it becomes hot during extended chiseling or drilling.

What should I check if the 79510 Rotary Hammer will not start?

Begin with the simplest causes: make sure the cord is plugged in, the outlet has power, and the switch is in the off position before reconnecting. If the tool has a thermal reset feature, it may have tripped after heavy use and need time to cool before resetting. A worn switch, damaged cord, or worn carbon brushes can also prevent startup. If basic checks do not help, the tool likely needs professional service.

How do I use the 79510 Rotary Hammer safely when a bit jams or gets stuck?

If the bit jams, release the trigger immediately to reduce the chance of injury from sudden torque. Do not keep forcing the tool, because that can damage the bit or strain the motor. The manual also warns that this model does not have reverse direction, so prevention is important: use the right bit, keep the tool moving in and out to clear debris, and work at a moderate pressure. Always let the bit stop fully before touching it.

What maintenance helps the 79510 Rotary Hammer stay reliable over time?

Check that mounting screws, the auxiliary handle, and the bit holder are tight before use. Inspect the bit regularly, since dull bits can reduce performance and increase strain on the motor. Keep the motor dry and free from oil or water, and replace worn carbon brushes when performance drops. The manual also notes that service and repairs should be handled by qualified technicians, which helps prevent electrical or mechanical damage.
