Selecting Drill Chucks and Tools
For hammer drilling and chiselling, SDS-plus tools are re-
quired that are inserted in the SDS-plus drill chuck.
For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and plas-
tic as well as for screwdriving, tools without SDS-plus are
used (e.g., drill bits with cylindrical shank). For these tools, a
keyless chuck or a key type drill chuck are required.
Inserting/Removing the Key Type Drill Chuck
(GBH 36 VF-LI Plus)
To work with tools without SDS-plus (e.g., drills with cylindri-
cal shank), a suitable drill chuck must be mounted (key type
drill chuck or keyless chuck, accessories).
Mounting the Key Type Drill Chuck (see figure C)
– Screw the SDS-plus adapter shank 24 into a key type drill
chuck 23. Secure the key type drill chuck 23 with the se-
curing screw 22. Please observe that the securing
screw has a left-hand thread.
Inserting the Key Type Drill Chuck (see figure C)
– Clean the shank end of the adapter shank and apply a light
coat of grease.
– Insert the key type drill chuck with the adapter shank into
the tool holder with a turning motion until it automatically
locks.
– Check the locking effect by pulling the key type drill chuck.

tention to the number of identification grooves 26. On-
ly quick-change chucks with two or three identification
grooves are permitted. When an unsuitable quick-change
chuck is used, the application tool could fall out during op-
eration.

light coat of grease to the shank end.
