u
work on the power tool.
Auxiliary handle (see figure A)
Only use your power tool with the auxiliary handles
u
(2) and (4).
Screw the auxiliary handle (2) into the thread (3) on the mo-
tor housing.
The auxiliary handle (4) can be continuously rotated through
360°.
Changing the tool (see figure B)

curely seated, but do not use force when doing so.
Use a rubber hammer to lightly hit the front side of the keyed
/ II
chuck (1) in order to ensure that the keyed chuck is securely
seated. When doing so, ensure that the clamping jaws of the
keyed chuck do not protrude to avoid damaging the chuck.
Installing the securing screw
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-
ditives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the ma-
terials to be worked.

Operation
Starting Operation
u
Keep the cone of the drill spindle and the hole of the
drill chuck free of grease and dirt.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
