3. Insert the depth stop into the hole on the side handle.
4. Adjust the handle and depth stop to the desired position, then tighten the clamp by rotating it clockwise.

Inserting SDS+ Drill Bits

The SDS+ chuck allows for quick and secure insertion of SDS+ bits, ideal for concrete and masonry.

2. Pull back the chuck collar on the drill.
3. Insert the SDS+ bit into the chuck until it clicks into place. Release the collar.

Operating the Hammer Drill

Mode Selection

The BEHS01K-QS offers three operating modes: Rotary Drilling, Hammer Drilling, and Chiseling.

• Rotary Drilling (Drill Icon): For drilling in wood, metal, plastics, and other materials that do not require impact.
• Hammer Drilling (Drill + Hammer Icon): For drilling in concrete, brick, and masonry. This mode combines rotation with impact action.
• Chiseling (Hammer Icon): For light demolition work, chipping, and chiseling in concrete or masonry. The rotation is disengaged in this mode.

To select a mode, rotate the mode selector dial located on the side of the drill to the desired icon.

• The speed is variable depending on how far the trigger is pressed.
• For continuous operation, press the lock-on button while the trigger is fully depressed.
• To stop the drill, release the trigger. If locked on, press the trigger fully and then release it.
