Can the hammer function be disabled on this rotary hammer?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, the hammer function (percussion) can be completely disabled on the Yato YT-82131 rotary hammer. To do this, you need to use the mode selector which has four distinct positions.

To disable percussion: Set the selector to the drill only symbol (without hammer). This position activates the drilling without percussion mode, which disables the percussion element and allows drilling only by rotation in wood, metal, or plastics.

The other modes available on this rotary hammer:

Drill and hammer symbol: Percussion drilling mode for drilling into hard materials (concrete, masonry, hard bricks, stones, marble, ceramics). Percussion and rotation are active simultaneously.
Hammer only symbol: Chiseling mode where the rotation speed is disconnected and only the percussion (jackhammer) remains active, ideal for chiseling and renovation.
Hammer symbol with an arrow: Chisel position adjustment position to securely position the tool before using the chiseling mode.

Procedure: Before each use, set the mode selector to the desired position. It is imperative to set the mode before starting the device. Simply turn the selector until the chosen symbol aligns with the marker, then start the rotary hammer by pressing the trigger.

Thanks to this modular design, the Yato YT-82131 adapts to all your needs: simple drilling in soft materials without any percussion, robust drilling in concrete with percussion, or intensive chiseling.
