Turn the bottom part of the auxiliary handle
4
in counterclock-
wise direction and swivel the auxiliary handle
4
to the desired
position. Then retighten the bottom part of the auxiliary han-
dle
4
by turning in clockwise direction.
Adjusting the Drilling Depth
The required drilling depth
X
can be set with the depth stop
3
.
Loosen the wing bolt for the depth stop adjustment
6
and in-
sert the depth stop rod into the auxiliary handle
4
.
Pull out the depth stop until the distance between the tip of
the drill bit and the tip of the depth stop corresponds with the
desired drilling depth
X
.
Retighten the wing bolt for the depth stop adjustment
6
again.
Changing the Tool (see figure A)
Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
Open the keyless chuck
2
by turning in rotation direction
,
until the tool can be inserted. Insert the tool.
Firmly tighten the collar of the keyless chuck
2
by hand in ro-
tation direction
. This automatically locks the drill chuck.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one’s health and cause allergic reactions, lead to res-
piratory infections and/or cancer.
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
materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dust can
easily ignite.
Operation
Starting Operation
Inserting the battery
Note:
Use of batteries not suitable for the machine can lead to
malfunctions of or cause damage to the power tool.
Set the rotational direction switch
17
to the centre position in
order to avoid unintentional starting. Insert the charged bat-
tery
12
into the handle so that it can be felt to engage and fac-
es flush against the handle.
Reversing the rotational direction (see figure B)
The rotational direction switch
17
is used to reverse the rota-
tional direction of the machine. However, this is not possible
with the On/Off switch
18
actuated.
Rotate clockwise:
Move the rotational direction switch
17
on both sides up to the stop into position
.
Rotate anticlockwise:
Move the rotational direction
switch
17
on both sides up to the stop into position
.
Setting the operating mode
Drilling
Set the operating mode selector switch
8
to the
“drilling” symbol.
Screwdriving
Set the operating mode selector switch
8
to the
“screwdriving” symbol.
Impact drilling
(GSB 14,4 VE-EC, GSB 18 VE-EC)
Set the operating mode selector switch
8
to the
“impact drilling” symbol.
Switching On and Off
To
start
the machine, press the On/Off switch
18
and keep it
pressed.
The LED
14
lights up when the On/Off switch
18
is halfway or
fully pressed, and enables illumination of the screwing loca-
tion in unfavourable light conditions.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Adjusting the Speed
The speed of the switched-on power tool can be variably ad-
justed, depending on how far the On/Off switch
18
is
pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch
18
results in a low rota-
tional speed. Further pressure on the switch results in an in-
crease in speed.
Setting the torque (Applies to screwdriving mode)
With the torque preselection ring
7
, the required torque can
be preselected in 25 steps. The inserted tool is stopped as
soon as the set torque is reached.
Gear selection, mechanical
Actuate the gear selector 9 only when the machine is at
a standstill.
1st gear:
Low speed range; for working with large drilling diameters.
2nd gear:
High speed range; for drilling with small drilling diameter.
Temperature Dependent Overload Protection
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. If the power tool is overloaded or not kept within the
permitted battery temperature range, the power output is re-
duced or the power tool is switched off. The power tool will
not run at full power output again until the permitted battery
temperature has been reached.
Activation of the temperature-controlled overload protector
is indicated by the LED
15
on the power tool lighting up red.
The LED
15
will go out once the temperature of the tool's bat-
tery is back within the permissible range.
Protection Against Deep Discharging
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
