Noise/Vibration Information
Measured sound values determined according to EN 60745.
Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are:
Sound pressure level 93 dB(A); Sound power level
104 dB(A). Uncertainty K =3 dB.
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined accord-
ing to EN 60745:
Hammer drilling into concrete: Vibration emission value
a
h
=10 m/s 2 , Uncertainty K=1.5 m/s 2 ,
Chiselling: Vibration emission value a
h
=8 m/s 2 , Uncertainty
K=1.5 m/s 2 .
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet
has been measured in accordance with a standardised test
given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with
another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of expo-
sure.
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 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 sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total working pe-
riod.
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
f Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Auxiliary Handle
f Operate your machine only with the auxiliary handle
10.
The auxiliary handle 10 can be set to any position for a secure
and low-fatigue working posture.
– Turn the bottom part of the auxiliary handle 10 in counter-
clockwise direction and swivel the auxiliary handle 10 to
the desired position. Then retighten the bottom part of the
auxiliary handle 10 by turning in clockwise direction.
Changing the Tool
With the SDS-max tool holder, simpler and easier tool chang-
ing is possible without additional aids.
The dust protection cap 1 largely prevents the entry of drilling
dust into the tool holder during operation. When inserting the
tool, take care that the dust protection cap 1 is not damaged.
f
A damaged dust protection cap should be changed im-
mediately. We recommend having this carried out by
an after-sales service.
Inserting (see figure A)
– Clean and lightly grease the shank end of the tool.
The red symbols (open lock and bars) on the locking sleeve 2
indicate that the tool holder is open.
– Insert the tool into the tool holder with a turning motion un-
til it is automatically locked. The locking sleeve automati-
cally snaps toward the front and the red ring is no longer
visible. This indicates that the tool holder is locked.
Removing (see figure B)
– Pull the locking sleeve 2 back until it engages. The red sym-
bols on the locking sleeve can now be seen again. The lock-
ing sleeve remains in this position and the tool can be re-
moved without having to hold the locking sleeve.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dusts 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 dusts can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered as
carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment
