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 18V-26)

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 E)

–

Screw the SDS-plus adapter shank 

25

 into a key type drill 

chuck 

24

. Secure the key type drill chuck 

24

 with the se-

curing screw 

23

. 

Please observe that the securing 

screw has a left-hand thread.

Inserting the Key Type Drill Chuck (see figure E)

–

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.

Removing the Key Type Drill Chuck

Push the locking sleeve 

5

 toward the rear and pull out the 

key type drill chuck

After removing, protect the replacement chuck against 
contamination.

Inserting the Quick Change Chuck (see figure G)



Use only model-specific original equipment and pay at-
tention to the number of identification grooves 27. 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.

–

Before inserting, clean the quick change chuck and apply a 
light coat of grease to the shank end.

–

Grasp the SDS-plus quick change chuck
