Fully Vibration-dampened Main Handle
(fi g. 1)
The dampers in the side handle (c) absorb the
vibrations transmitted to the user. This improves user
comfort during the operation.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage
only. Always check that the power supply corresponds
to the voltage on the rating plate.
Your BTI tool is double insulated in
accordance with EN 60745; therefore no
earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
a specially prepared cord available through the BTI
service organisation.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fi tted:
• Safely dispose of the old plug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the
plug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be made to
the earth terminal.
Follow the fi tting instructions supplied with good
quality plugs. Recommended fuse: 13 A.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use an approved extension
cable suitable for the power input of this tool (see
technical data). The minimum conductor size is
1.5 mm 2 ; the maximum length is 30 m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable
completely.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
turn unit off and disconnect machine
from power source before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting
or changing setups or when making
repairs. Be sure the trigger switch is in the
OFF position. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
WARNING: Tool bits may be hot and gloves
should be worn when changing or removing
them to avoid personal injury.
Assembling and Fitting the Side Handle
(fi g. 2a, 2b)
The side handle (c) can be mounted in front or in rear
position on either side of the machine to suit both RH-
and LH-users.
WARNING: Always operate the tool with the
side handle properly assembled.
MOUNTING IN FRONT POSITION (FIG. 2A)
1. Snap the steel ring (k) over the collar (x) behind
the tool holder (m). Squeeze both ends together,
mount the bush (l) and insert the pin (q).
2. Place the side handle clamp (j) and screw on the
clamp wheel (h). Do not tighten.
WARNING: Once assembled, the side
handle clamp should never be removed.
3. Screw the side handle (c) into the bush (l). Tighten
securely.
4. Rotate the side handle mounting assembly to
the desired position. For drilling horizontally with
a heavy drill bit, we recommend to place the side
handle at an angle of approx. 20° for optimum
control.
5. Lock the side handle mounting assembly in place
by tightening the clamp wheel (h).
MOUNTING IN REAR POSITION (FIG. 2B)
The rear position is particularly useful when drilling
down into a fl oor.
1. Unscrew the side handle (c) and remove it from
the front position. Leave the side handle mounting
assembly in front position.
2. Screw the side handle directly into one of the rear
side handle positions (i) on either side of the tool.
Inserting and Removing SDS Max™
Accessories (fi g. 1, 4a, 4b)
This tool uses SDS Max
inset in fi gure 4B for a cross-section of an SDS Max
bit shank).
1. Clean the bit shank.
2. Pull back the locking sleeve (p) and insert the bit
shank.
3. Turn the bit slightly until the sleeve snaps into
position.
4. Pull on the bit to check if it is properly locked. The
hammering function requires the bit to be able to
move axially several centimetres when locked in
the tool holder.
