Sir, I have a Powerbase Xtreme Rotary SDS 1200W Hammer Drill. I bought it 2nd hand. I wonder if you are able to advise where I might purchase a handbook for the tool. There is a small yellow notice on the machine stating '3 jaw chuck is designed for wood and metal drilling only. Never use this drill with rotary hammer action, chisel or or ompact action, as this may damage the chuck'. Could you please explain this. Do I need to buy another chuck to enable me to drill masonry with the hammer action which is what I bought it for. Very many thanks. Robert.

The SDS designation relates more to the type of chuck on the tool for the bits than to the tool/drill itself. There are both chisels and drill bits with SDS-Plus and SDS-Max shanks, SDS-Max being the the larger of the two. As far as the tools go: Demolition hammers will only hammer and can only use pointed chisels, scaling chisels, scrapers, etc, not anything like a drill bit that requires spinning to work. Rotary hammers can hammer and rotate the bits. Rotary hammers have a selector switch with two or three positions; one for hammer only for the above demolition bits, one for rotary hammer for use with carbite tipped drill bits, and some have a position for rotation only. The rotary hammer is a more versitile tool but more expensive because of extra workings inside.
There is a collar that you have to pull back, it is kind of big. Be sure to rotate the bit, as you install it, sometimes tricky to engauge the last tiny 1/2 inch or so. The tool will be retained, but not engauged.
Two drive systems are available on both the hammer drill and the rotary hammer models: 1. SDS (or Slotted Drive System) bits for hammer drills/rotary hammers allow the bit to slide in the chuck and enhance the hammering action of the tool. For most applications, these bits provide plenty of torque. 2. SDS Max bits are similar to SDS bits, but have larger shanks and come in larger sizes than SDS bits. These powerful bits are useful in industrial applications.
