sleeve (15) and pull out the bit.
Fitting the side handle (fig. E)

• For RH-users, slide the side handle clamp over
the collar behind the tool holder, handle at the
left.
• For LH-users, slide the side handle clamp over
the collar behind the tool holder, handle at the
right.
• Rotate the side handle to the desired position
and tighten the handle.

position and pull the tool holder (5) off.
• Push the chuck (17) onto the spindle and turn the
locking collar into the locking position.
• To replace the chuck with the tool holder, first
remove the chuck the same way as the tool
holder was removed. Then place the tool holder
the same way as the chuck was placed.
Never use standard chucks in the
hammer drilling mode.
Replacing the dust cover (fig. D)

Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Be aware of the location of pipework and
wiring.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool
(approx. 5 kg). Excessive force does not
speed up drilling but decreases tool
performance and may shorten tool life.
• Do not drill or drive too deep to prevent
damage to the dust cover.
• Always hold the tool firmly with both
hands and ensure a secure stance .
Always operate the tool with the side
handle properly mounted.
Switching on and off (fig. A)
• To run the tool, press the variable speed switch (1).
The pressure exerted on the variable speed switch
determines the tool speed.
