Is that not what the top symbol is? I've seen it looking differently on others
Yes it is - bit of a tool nerd here but I think that is a JCB Combi Drill. That is JCBs slightly unusual “hammer mode”, and should be no problem to drill 20cm into breeze block with a decent bit. There are a vast array of what people call “breeze blocks” from 3.6n Aircrete (one step up from that green stuff florists use) to full concrete blocks with drill blunting pieces of ballast. This drill with a decent drill bit will do all of the above, but it might take a while and need a better drill bit for the harder options.
It must be the symbol for the hammer function, not much else it can be.
If you find the brand name you should be able to find the model and manual.
Also depending on diameter of the hole SDS drills are better, but if it's only one hole just try and see.
If it starts getting to hot or struggling you know you need a bigger drill 😂
Probably a bolt, not a hammer. Every drill hammer I've used has the hammer symbol, the drill symbol and then a combination of both. This lacks the combination, so it's probably not what OP is looking for.
Fair point, it could be an impact driver.
