1 = normal drilling/screwdriving
2 = hammer 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 needed to keep the
automatic clutch engaged; drilling performance will not
improve by applying more pressure on the tool
• Normal drilling/screwdriving 8
For drilling in wood, metal and plastic as well as for
screwdriving use adapter G 2
- clean and lightly lubricate adapter before insertion
- pull back locking sleeve H 2 and insert adapter in
SDS+ chuck while turning and pushing it until it
engages; the adapter locks in position automatically

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 H
! 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
! only use sharp bits/chisels
• Safety clutch
If the accessory gets jammed, the drive to the spindle is
interrupted (causing a rattling noise)
- immediately switch off tool

edge of wood, pre-drill a hole in order to avoid cracking of
the wood
