Answer This Question

Hi! Thank you very much for your question. The pilot bit on the Bosch HC8526 is held in by a pin and rubber ring. If the pin is missing that could be why the pilot falls out. For further assistance, you may email us at bosch.tools@us.bosch.com or contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CST.

              Do you use the hammer/drill function with this bit? I have a Dewalt hammer drill and I don't think it has a drill only function. I think it is either hammer or hammer/drill. Thanks

              Answer This Question

              For the HC7507 Core Bit, you need to disable the hammer mode of your SDS-max Rotary Hammer. It should be under rotary mode to avoid snapping of the bit. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.

                  Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback and review. We do apologize that the HC8575 did not meet your expectations. Be sure during application to allow the tool to do the work and not overly apply pressure with the tool. You should keep a steady hand and enough pressure to keep control of the tool but to allow the tool to do the work. For further assistance, you may email us at bosch.tools@us.bosch.com or contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CST.
