Key Components:

1. SDS-Plus Chuck: For quick and secure insertion of SDS-Plus drill bits and chisels.
2. Mode Selector Switch: Allows selection between drilling, hammer drilling, chisel rotation adjustment, and chiseling modes.
3. Auxiliary Handle: Provides additional grip and control during operation.
4. Depth Stop: For setting precise drilling depths.
5. On/Off Trigger Switch: Activates and deactivates the tool.
6. Lock-on Button: For continuous operation (use with caution).
7. Keyless Chuck (for round shank bits): An adapter chuck for using standard drill bits.

Setup

1. Attaching the Auxiliary Handle

Loosen the auxiliary handle by twisting it counter-clockwise. Slide it over the chuck and position it to your desired angle for optimal control. Tighten by twisting clockwise until secure.

2. Installing SDS-Plus Accessories (Drill Bits/Chisels)

1. Clean the shank of the accessory and apply a thin layer of grease.
2. Pull back the chuck sleeve and insert the SDS-Plus accessory into the chuck.
3. Release the chuck sleeve. Pull on the accessory to ensure it is securely locked. The SDS-Plus system allows for slight axial movement, which is normal for hammer action.

3. Installing the Keyless Chuck for Round Shank Bits

For drilling with standard round shank drill bits (e.g., in wood or metal without hammer action), attach the supplied keyless chuck adapter.

1. Insert the SDS-Plus end of the keyless chuck adapter into the SDS-Plus chuck as described above.
2. Open the jaws of the keyless chuck by twisting the front collar.
3. Insert the round shank drill bit and tighten the chuck by twisting the collar until the bit is firmly gripped.

4. Setting the Depth Stop

Insert the depth stop into the hole on the auxiliary handle. Adjust its position so that the desired drilling depth is achieved when the end of the depth stop touches the workpiece. Secure the depth stop by tightening the auxiliary handle.

Operating Instructions

Always ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before changing modes or accessories.

1. Selecting Operating Mode

The central mode selector allows you to choose between the following functions:

• Drilling (Rotation Only): For drilling in wood, metal, or plastic. Use with the keyless chuck and round shank drill bits. Hammer action is deactivated.
• Hammer Drilling (Rotation with Hammer Action): For drilling in concrete, masonry, and stone. Use with SDS-Plus drill bits.
• Chiseling (Hammer Action Only): For light chiseling work, such as removing tiles or breaking small concrete sections. Use with SDS-Plus chisels.
• Chisel Position Adjustment: Allows you to rotate the chisel to the desired working angle without activating the hammer action.

To change the mode, rotate the central selector switch to the desired symbol. Ensure the switch clicks into place.

2. Powering On/Off

• To turn on: Press the On/Off trigger switch. The speed is variable depending on how far the trigger is pressed.
• For continuous operation: Press the On/Off trigger switch and then press the lock-on button. Release the trigger.
• To turn off (from continuous operation): Press the On/Off trigger switch briefly and release it.
• To turn off (from momentary operation): Release the On/Off trigger switch.

3. Drilling Tips

• Always start drilling at a low speed to prevent the drill bit from slipping.
• Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the tool.
• For deep holes, periodically withdraw the drill bit to clear debris.
• When drilling metal, use cutting oil to prolong bit life and improve performance.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your tool. Always disconnect the tool from the power supply before performing any maintenance.

1. Cleaning

• Keep the ventilation openings clean to prevent motor overheating. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clear dust.
• Wipe the tool housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents or solvents.
• Clean the SDS-Plus chuck regularly. Remove any dust or debris from the chuck and apply a small amount of grease to the SDS-Plus shank of accessories before insertion.

2. Storage

Store the tool and its accessories in the supplied transport case in a dry, secure place, out of reach of children. Protect from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

3. Carbon Brushes

The carbon brushes are wear parts. If the motor sparks excessively or the tool stops working, the carbon brushes may need replacement. This should be performed by a qualified service technician.
