The vibration level and noise emission value given in these
instructions have been measured in accordance with a
standardised measuring procedure and may be used to com-
pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary
estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-
ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the
power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-
plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.

Assembly

u Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.

Auxiliary handle (see figure A)

u Do not operate your power tool without the auxiliary
handle (11).
u Before carrying out any work, make sure that the wing
bolt is tightened. Loss of control can cause personal in-
jury.
You can swivel the auxiliary handle (11) to any angle for a
safe work posture that minimises fatigue.
Turn the wing bolt for adjusting the auxiliary handle (10) an-
ticlockwise and swivel the auxiliary handle (11) into the re-
quired position. Then retighten the wing bolt (10) by turning
it clockwise.
Setting the drilling depth (see figure A)
You can use the depth stop(12) to set the required drilling
depth X.
Press the button for depth stop adjustment (9) and insert
the depth stop into the auxiliary handle (11).
The fluting on the depth stop (12) must face downwards.
Pull the depth stop(12) far enough out that the distance
between the drill bit tip and the edge of the depth stop(12)
corresponds to the required drilling depth X.

Changing the tool

u Wear protective gloves when changing tools. The drill
chuck may heat up significantly when it is used for long
periods.
Keyless chuck (see figure B)
The drill spindle is locked when the on/off switch (6) is not
pressed. This makes it possible to change the application
tool in the drill chuck quickly, conveniently and easily.
Open the keyless chuck (1) by turning it in the direction of
rotation until the tool can be inserted. Insert the tool.
Firmly tighten the sleeve of the keyless chuck (1) by turning
it by hand in the rotational direction until it stops clicking.
This will automatically lock the drill chuck.
The lock will disengage again if you turn the sleeve in the op-
posite direction to remove the tool.
Keyed chuck (see figure C)
Open the keyed chuck (15) by turning it until the tool can be
inserted. Insert the tool.
Insert the chuck key (14) into the corresponding holes of the
keyed chuck (15) and clamp the tool evenly.
Screwdriving tools (see figure D)
You should always use a universal bit holder (16) when using
screwdriver bits (17). Only use screwdriver bits that fit the
screw head.
For screwdriving, make sure the "drilling/impact drilling" se-
lector switch (4) is always set to the "drilling" symbol.

Changing the Drill Chuck

u Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
Removing the Drill Chuck (see figure E)
To remove the keyless chuck (1), clamp a hex key (18) in
the keyless chuck (1) and position an open-ended spanner
(19) (width across flats: 12) against the spanner flat of the
drive spindle.
Place the machine on a firm surface, e.g. a work bench.
Hold the open-ended spanner (19) in place and loosen the
keyless chuck (1) by turning the hex key (18) in the rota-
tional direction . A tightly seated keyless chuck can be
loosened with a light blow on the long shaft of the hex key
(18).
Remove the hex key from the keyless chuck and completely
unscrew the keyless chuck from the machine.
The keyed chuck (15) can be removed in the same way as
described for the keyless chuck.
