applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained,
the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly in-
crease 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 signif-
icantly 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 hands warm, organise work patterns.
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 is supplied 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
reducing 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 17 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button 12 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 17:
– Push the battery against the base of the power tool (1.) and
at the same time press the battery unlocking button 12 (2.).
– Pull the battery out of the power tool until a red stripe be-
comes visible (3.).
– Press the battery unlocking button 12 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 17. 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.
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 19.
Changing the position of the auxiliary handle
(see figure A)
The auxiliary handle 19 can be set to any position for a secure
and low-fatigue working posture.
– Turn the bottom part of the auxiliary handle 19 in counter-
clockwise direction and swivel the auxiliary handle 19 to
the desired position. Then retighten the bottom part of the
auxiliary handle 19 by turning in clockwise direction.
Pay attention that the clamping band of the auxiliary handle is
positioned in the groove on the housing as intended for.
Adjusting the Drilling Depth (see figure B)
The required drilling depth X can be set with the depth stop 18.
– Press the button for the depth stop adjustment 13 and in-
sert the depth stop into the auxiliary handle 19.
The knurled surface of the depth stop 18 must face down-
ward.
– Insert the SDS-plus drilling tool to the stop into the SDS-
plus tool holder 3. 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 correspond with
the desired drilling depth X.
Selecting Drill Chucks and Tools
For hammer drilling and chiselling, SDS-plus tools are re-
quired that are inserted in the SDS-plus drill chuck.
For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and plas-
tic as well as for screwdriving, tools without SDS-plus are
