The declared vibration emission level represents the main ap-
plications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or insertion tools or is
poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This
may significantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total working
period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work pat-
terns.
Assembly

Battery Charging

 Use only the battery chargers listed on the accessories
page. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lith-
ium-ion battery of your power tool.
Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
 Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
Removing the battery
The battery 12 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button 13 unintentionally. As long as the battery is
inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a
spring.
To remove the battery 12:
– Push the battery against the base of the power tool (1.)
and at the same time press the battery unlocking button 13
(2.).
– Pull the battery out of the power tool until a red stripe be-
comes visible (3.).
– Press the battery unlocking button 13 again and pull out
the battery completely.

Battery Charge-control Indication
The three green LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator
15 indicate the charge condition of the battery 12. For safety
reasons, it is only possible to check the status of the charge
condition when the machine is at a standstill.
– Push button 16 to indicate the charge condition (also pos-
sible when the battery is removed). The battery charge-
control indicator automatically goes out after approx.
5 seconds.
LED
Continuous lighting 3 x green
Continuous lighting 2 x green
Continuous lighting 1 x green
Flashing light 1 x green
When no LED lights up after pushing button 16, then the bat-
tery is defective and must be replaced.
During the charging procedure, the three green LEDs light up
one after the other and briefly go out. The battery is fully
charged when the three green LEDs light up continuously. The
three LEDs go out again approx. 5 minutes after the battery
has been fully charged.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature control
which allows charging only within a temperature range of be-
tween 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery service life is achieved
in this manner.

Auxiliary Handle

 Operate your machine only with the auxiliary handle
17.
Changing the position of the auxiliary handle
(see figure A)
The auxiliary handle 17 can be set to any position for a secure
and low-fatigue working posture.
– Turn the wing bolt for adjustment of the auxiliary handle 11
in anticlockwise direction and set the auxiliary handle 17
to the required position. Then tighten the wing bolt 11
again in clockwise direction.
Adjusting the Drilling Depth (see figure B)
The required drilling depth X can be set with the depth stop 1.
– Press the button for the depth stop adjustment 10 and in-
sert the depth stop into the auxiliary handle 17.
The knurled surface of the depth stop 1 must face downward.
– Insert the SDS-plus drilling tool to the stop into the SDS-
plus tool holder 2. Otherwise, the movability of the SDS-
plus drilling tool can lead to incorrect adjustment of the
drilling depth.
– Pull out the depth stop until the distance between the tip of
the drill bit and the tip of the depth stop corresponds with
the desired drilling depth X.
Selecting Drill Chucks and Tools
For hammer drilling, SDS-plus tools are required that are in-
serted in the SDS-plus drill chuck.
