Changing the Tool

The dust protection cap 4 largely prevents the entry of drilling
dust into the tool holder during operation. When inserting the
tool, take care that the dust protection cap 4 is not damaged.
 A damaged dust protection cap should be changed im-
mediately. We recommend having this carried out by
an after-sales service.
Inserting SDS-plus Drilling Tools (see figure F)
The SDS-plus drill chuck allows for simple and convenient
changing of drilling tools without the use of additional tools.
– GBH 240 F: Insert the SDS-plus quick change chuck 2.
– Clean and lightly grease the shank end of the tool.
– Insert the tool in a twisting manner into the tool holder until
it latches itself.
– Check the latching by pulling the tool.
As a requirement of the system, the SDS-plus drilling tool can
move freely. This causes a certain radial run-out at no-load,
which has no effect on the accuracy of the drill hole, as the
drill bit centres itself upon drilling.
Removing SDS-plus Drilling Tools (see figure G)
– Push back the locking sleeve 5 and remove the tool.
Inserting Drilling Tools without SDS-plus (GBH 240)
Note: Do not use tools without SDS-plus for hammer drilling
or chiselling! Tools without SDS-plus and their drill chucks are
damaged by hammer drilling or chiselling.
– Insert a key type drill chuck 17 (see "Changing the Key
Type Drill Chuck", page 15).
– Open the key type drill chuck 17 by turning until the tool
can be inserted. Insert the tool.
– Insert the chuck key into the corresponding holes of the
key type drill chuck 17 and clamp the tool uniformly.

until the tool can be inserted. Tightly hold the retaining ring
21 and firmly turn the front sleeve 20 in the direction of the
arrow until a distinct latching noise can be heard.

Note: If the tool holder was opened to the stop, then the latch-
ing noise possibly may be heard while closing the tool holder
and the tool holder will not close.
In this case, turn the front sleeve 20 once in the opposite di-
rection of the arrow. Afterwards, the tool holder can be
closed (tightened) again.

Dust Extraction with the Dust Extraction
Attachment (Accessory)
 Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered car-
cinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials con-
taining asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.
Mounting the Dust Extraction Attachment (see figure J)
For dust extraction, the dust extraction attachment (accesso-
ry) is required. When drilling, the dust extraction attachment
retracts so that the attachment head is always close to the
surface at the drill hole.
