plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.
Assembly
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Battery Charging
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
u
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the 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 process
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery
is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
u
power tool has automatically switched off. The battery
can be damaged.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Removing the battery
The battery (8) is equipped with two locking levels to pre-
vent the battery from falling out if the battery release but-
ton (9) is pressed 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 (8), press the release button (9)
and pull the battery out of the power tool. Do not use
force to do this.
Battery charge indicator
The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the
state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only
possible to check the state of charge when the power tool is
not in operation.
1 609 92A 5GE | (18.11.2019)
Press the button for the battery charge indicator or
show the state of charge. This is also possible when the bat-
tery is removed.
If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery
charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be
replaced.

Auxiliary handle
Do not operate your power tool without the auxiliary
u
handle (14).
Swivelling the auxiliary handle (see figure A)
You can swivel the auxiliary handle (14) to any angle for a
safe work posture that minimises fatigue.
– Turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (14)
anticlockwise and swivel the auxiliary handle (14) into
the required position. Then turn the lower gripping end of
the auxiliary handle (14) clockwise to retighten it.
Make sure that the retaining strap of the auxiliary handle
slots into the corresponding groove of the housing.
Selecting Drill Chucks and Tools
Hammer drilling and chiselling require SDS-plus application
tools that are inserted into the SDS-plus drill chuck.
For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and
plastic as well as for screwdriving, tools without SDS‑plus
are used (e.g. cylindrical shank drill bits). For these tools, a
keyless chuck or a keyed chuck are required.
