control switch is locked when the forward / reverse
switch is in the middle position.
For forward rotation, push the forward / reverse
switch on the side of the power tool toward the chuck
in the direction of the arrow.
7.2.2 Drilling without hammering
11
1. Turn the function selector switch until it engages
in the "Drilling without hammering" position.
2. Bring the side grip into the desired position and
check that it is fitted correctly and secured.
3. Fit the battery.
NOTE Before beginning the work, check that the
battery is fitted securely to the tool. If it is not
fitted securely, the battery could fall out while
you are working with the tool and cause injury.
4. Position the power tool and drill bit at the point
where the hole is to be drilled.
5. Press the control switch slowly (drill at a low
speed until the drill bit centers itself in the hole).
6. Press the control switch fully to continue drilling
with full power.
7.2.3 Hammer drilling
12
1. Turn the function selector switch until it engages
in the “Hammer drilling” position.
2. Bring the side grip into the desired position and
check that it is fitted correctly and secured.
3. Fit the battery.
NOTE Before beginning the work, check that the
battery is fitted securely to the tool. If it is not
fitted securely, the battery could fall out while
you are working with the tool and cause injury.
4. Position the power tool and drill bit at the point
where the hole is to be drilled.
5. Press the control switch slowly (drill at a low
speed until the drill bit centers itself in the hole).
6. Press the control switch fully to continue drilling
with full power.
7. Do not apply excessive pressure. This will not
increase the power tool’s hammering perform-
ance. Lower pressure extends the life of the
insert tool.
8. Reduce drilling speed shortly before breaking
through in order to avoid damage to the surface
at the rear side.
7.2.4 Active Torque Control
13
In addition to the mechanical slip clutch, the tool is
also equipped with ATC (Active Torque Control). This
system offers additional comfort while drilling as it
causes rapid shutdown upon sudden rotation of the
power tool about the drill bit axis, e.g. when the drill
bit sticks due to hitting a rebar or when the drill bit is
tilted unintentionally. If the ATC system has triggered,
restart the power tool by releasing the control switch
and then pressing it again. Always choose a working
position in which the electric tool, when turning clock-
wise, is free to rotate in a counterclockwise direction
(as seen by the operator). In counterclockwise rota-
tion, the tool reacts and turns clockwise. If rotation is
not possible, active torque control cannot react.
7.2.5 Chiseling
NOTE
The chisel can be adjusted to 12 different positions
(in 30° increments). This ensures that flat chisels and
shaped chisels can always be set to the optimum
working position.
7.2.5.1 Chisel position adjustment
CAUTION
Do not operate the power tool when the selector
switch is set to "Chisel adjustment".
1. Turn the function selector switch until it engages
in the “Chisel adjustment” position. Do not oper-
ate the function selector switch while the motor
is running.
2. Bring the side grip into the desired position and
check that it is fitted correctly and secured.
3. Rotate the chisel to the desired position.
7.2.5.2 Locking the chisel
1. Turn the function selector switch until it en-
gages in the “Chiseling” position. Do not operate
the function selector switch while the motor is
running.
7.2.5.3 Chiseling
1. Insert the battery.
2. Position the tip of the chisel at the point where
chiseling is to begin.
3. Press the control switch.
