USE
• On/off 6
• Switch locking for continuous use 7
• Speed control for smooth starting 8
• Maximum speed control 9
With wheel B 5 the maximum speed can be adjusted
steplessly from minimum to maximum
• Changing direction of rotation 0
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch A
cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
• Selecting operating mode !
- press button F to unlock switch E
- turn switch E to the desired operating mode until it
snap-locks
! start working only when switch E is locked
1 = normal drilling/screwdriving
2 = impact drilling
3 = chiseling with rotating chisel
4 = chiseling with fixed chisel
! select operating mode only when tool is switched
off and plug is disconnected
- the hammer mechanism is activated by applying a
slight pressure on the tool when the drill bit is in
contact with the workpiece
- best hammer drilling results can be obtained by only a
slight pressure on the tool; drilling performance will not
improve by applying more pressure on the tool
• Chiseling with rotating chisel @
! switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
- select "rotating" chiseling mode
• Chiseling with fixed chisel #
! switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
- select "rotating" chiseling mode

• Changing bits $
! clean and lightly lubricate the SDS+ accessory
before insertion
- pull back locking sleeve G and insert accessory in
SDS+ chuck while turning and pushing it until it
engages; the accessory locks in position automatically
- pull accessory to check that it is locked correctly
- remove accessory by pulling back locking sleeve G
! the SDS+ accessory requires freedom of
movement which causes eccentricity when tool is
off-load; however, the accessory automatically
centres itself during operation without affecting
drilling precision
! do not use bits/chisels with a damaged shank
For drilling in wood, metal and plastic as well as for
screwdriving use adapter H %
- clean and lightly lubricate adapter before insertion
- pull back locking sleeve G and insert adapter in SDS+
chuck while turning and pushing it until it engages; the
adapter locks in position automatically
- pull adapter to check whether is it locked correctly
- set switch E 5 to normal drilling (only activate when
tool is switched off and plug is disconnected)
• Safety clutch
If the accessory gets jammed, the drive to the spindle is
interrupted (causing a rattling noise)
- immediately switch off tool
- remove the jammed accessory
- switch on tool again
• Adjusting drilling depth ^
• Holding and guiding the tool &
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s)
- always use auxiliary handle J (can be adjusted as
illustrated)
- keep the ventilation slots uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the tool
do the work for you
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Use the appropriate bits *
! only use sharp bits/chisels
• When drilling ferrous metals
- pre-drill a smaller hole, when a large hole is required
- lubricate drill bit occasionally with oil
• When turning in a screw at/near the cross cut end or an
edge of wood, pre-drill a hole in order to avoid cracking of
the wood
• Splinterfree drilling in wood (
• Dustfree drilling in walls )
• Dustfree drilling in ceilings ¡
• Drilling in tiles without skidding ™
