WHAT IT DOES
A corded hammer drill is a power tool great for drilling holes in walls: stone, brick and concrete. It needs to be used with specific type of drill bits, called masonry bits. It has a hammer mechanism inside the drill which will deliver concussive blows behind the masonry bit to assist in drilling into hard material like brick and masonry.
Smaller hammer drills usually have a couple of settings allowing you to turn off the mechanism and just use the normal drill in wood, metal or plastic. Bigger hammer drills usually only have one setting: hammering but it makes them more powerful. But for proper power, rotary hammer drills are the best.

HOW TO USE IT
Fit the auxiliary handle to steady the drill and protect you if the drill jams.This is important when drilling large diameter holes especially into masonry, and into wood using a flat bit, or hole saw. Here is a video about the safe use of the auxiliary handle: https://youtu.be/oGphjIuyDg4?t=10
For drilling holes, use a higher speed. Consider using a centre punch drilling a smaller pilot hole first to guide the hammer drill. Back-out of the drill hole frequently while drilling to allow the drilled material to be removed from the hole and avoid overheating and bluntening the drill bit.
For driving screws, turn off the hammer setting, use a slow speed and set the torque clutch to a low number to start, increasing gradually if necessary.
