Low Energy
it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (11) to varying ex-
tents.
Applying light pressure to the on/off switch (11) results in a
low rotational speed/impact rate. Applying increasing pres-
sure to the switch increases the speed/impact rate.
You can also control the speed on the user interface and/or
via a smartphone app (see "Selecting the working mode",
page 23).
Changing the chiselling position (Vario-Lock)

Overload clutch
If the application tool jams or snags, the power trans-
u
mission to the drill spindle will be interrupted. Always
hold the power tool firmly with both hands to with-
stand the forces this may create and adopt a position
with stable footing.
Switch the power tool off immediately and remove the
u
application tool if the power tool becomes blocked.
Switching on when the drilling tool is blocked may
cause high torque reactions.
Rapid shut-off (KickBack Control)
English | 21
The rapid shut-off function (KickBack
Control) gives the user greater control
over the power tool and offers them bet-
ter protection than power tools that do
not have KickBack Control. If the power
tool suddenly and unforeseeably rotates
around the drilling axis, it will switch off
and the rapid shut-off indicator (24) will
light up and the worklight (14) will flash.
