Switching on, speed: press the trigger (13). The
rotational speed can be changed at the trigger
switch by pressing.
Switching off: Release the trigger (13). Note: The
noise that the machine makes when it switches
off is due to the design (quick stop) and has no
influence on the function or the service life of
the machine.

Clamping the tool
- Open the keyless chuck and insert the tool as far
as possible.
- Turn sleeve (2) in direction "GRIP, ZU" until the
noticeable mechanical resistance has been
overcome.
- Caution! The tool is not yet clamped! Keep
turning the sleeve (it must "click" when turning)
until it cannot be turned any further - only now is
the tool securely clamped.

9. Tips and Tricks

Drilling
- Preferably in 2nd gear (high speed).
- Activate the pulse function (depending on the
model) to drill steel, aluminium or tiles without
centre punching or pre-drilling.
- Drill tiles and other brittle materials without impact
(depending on the model).
- In the case of deep bores, pull the drill bit out of the
bore from time to time in order to remove the drill
dust or swarf.
Screws
- Preferably in 1st gear (low speed) and with torque
control.
- Before inserting screws with deformed heads into
wood, activate the pulse function (depending on
the model).
- Activate the pulse function (depending on the
model) to reach the maximum torque while
inserting screws.
- The drill chuck can be removed for screwdriving.
Insert the bit directly in the hexagon socket on the
spindle.
With the BS 18 LTX Quick, the screwdriver bit is
held in place by a magnet. Use the clamping bush
for other tools. (The screwdriver bit is retained if a
bit clamping bush (accessory, order no. 6.31281)
is fitted.)
Thread tapping
- Lubricate the dies.
- Select 1st gear (low speed).
- Adjust torque control.
