Yes, HF will take them back.
I purchased the equivalent of this SDS hammer drill at Harbor Freight
a few years ago and it is one of my favorite tools. It drills into
concrete like it is butter and with the chisel bits, it allows us to
break up smaller sections of concrete with relative ease (compared to
using manual tools, not compared to a full size jack hammer...)

I got it for $49 on sale or with a coupon, can't remember which.
Yours is better than mine, but I paid around the same price.
Mine is 1/2 inch chuck with 7.5amp motor, while yours is a 1-1/8 in. chuck
and a 10 Amp Heavy Duty SDS Variable Speed Rotary Hammer motor.

It seems that yours uses the funky shaped SDS bits I bought!
Why are they shaped that way anyway?
The SDS bits are far superior to standard high-speed twist bits. There
is zero chance of bit slippage, additionally, they click-lock in the
chuck, none of that hand tightening or loosening the chuck. Lastly,
bit changes are quite rapid. I love my HF rotary hammer drill.
