Drill
Protection class
The specifications apply to a rated voltage [U] of 230 V. These spe-
cifications may vary at different voltages and in country-specific mod-
els.
Noise/vibration information
Noise emission values determined according to
EN 62841-2-1.
Typically the A-weighted noise level of the power tool are: 84
dB(A); sound power level 95 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 5 dB.

The vibration level and noise emission value given in these
instructions have been measured in accordance with a
standardised measuring procedure and may be used to com-
pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary
estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-
ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the
power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-
plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.
Assembly
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Auxiliary handle (see figure A)
Do not operate your power tool without the auxiliary
u
handle (5).
Before carrying out any work, make sure that the aux-
u
iliary handle is tightened. Loss of control can cause per-
sonal injury.
You can swivel the auxiliary handle (5) to any angle for a safe
work posture that minimises fatigue.
Turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (5) anti-
clockwise and swivel the auxiliary handle (5) into the re-
quired position. Afterwards, turn the lower gripping end of
the auxiliary handle (5) clockwise to retighten it.

Changing the Tool (see figure B)
GBM 13 HRE
Wear protective gloves when changing tools. The drill
/ II
u
chuck may heat up significantly when it is used for long
periods.
Open the keyed chuck (1) by turning it until the tool can be
inserted.
Insert the tool.
Insert the drill chuck key (6) into the corresponding holes of
the keyed chuck (1) and clamp the tool evenly.
Screwdriving tools (see figure C)
You should always use a universal bit holder (9) when using
screwdriver bits (8). Only use screwdriver bits that fit the
screw head.

work on the power tool.
Remove the securing screw (see figure D)
A securing screw (10) protects the keyed chuck from being
accidentally separated from the drill spindle.
Open the keyed chuck fully and unscrew the securing screw
(10) clockwise. Note that the securing screw has a left-
hand thread.
When the securing screw (10) is securely seated, place a
screwdriver on the screw head and undo the securing screw
by hitting the handle of the screwdriver.
Removing the drill chuck (see figure E)
To remove the keyed chuck, clamp a hex key (11) into the
keyed chuck (1).
Place the power tool on a firm surface, e.g. a work bench.
Hold the power tool firmly and loosen the keyed chuck (1)
by turning the hex key (11) in anticlockwise direction.
A tightly seated keyed chuck is loosened by applying a light
blow onto the long end of the hex key (11). Remove the hex
key from the keyed chuck and fully unscrew the keyed
chuck.
Assembling the drill chuck (see figure F)
The keyed chuck is fitted in reverse order.
Screw the securing screw (10) anticlockwise into the open
keyed chuck. Always use a new securing screw because a se-
curing adhesive substance is applied on its thread and is
rendered ineffective after repeated use.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one's
health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci-
nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment ad-
The drill chuck must be tightened using a tight-
ening torque of approx. 10-15 Nm.
