Removing the Key Type Drill Chuck

– Push the locking sleeve 

5

 toward the rear and pull out the 

key type drill chuck 

17

.

Removing/Inserting the Quick Change Chuck 

(GBH 240 F)

Removing the Quick Change Chuck (see figure D)

– Pull the lock ring for the quick change chuck 

6

 toward the 

rear, hold it in this position and pull off the SDS-plus quick 
change chuck 

2

 or the quick change keyless chuck 

1

 to-

ward the front.

– After removing, protect the replacement chuck against 

contamination.

Inserting the Quick Change Chuck (see figure E)

– 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 

2

 or the quick 

change keyless chuck 

1

 completely with your hand. Slide 

the quick change chuck with a turning motion onto the drill 
chuck mounting 

19

 until a distinct latching noise is heard.

– The quick change chuck is automatically locked. Check the 

locking effect by pulling the quick change chuck.

Changing the Tool

The dust protection cap 

4

 largely prevents the entry of drilling 

dust into the tool holder during operation. When inserting the 
tool, take care that the dust protection cap 

4

 is not damaged.



A damaged dust protection cap should be changed im-

mediately. We recommend having this carried out by 

an after-sales service.

Inserting SDS-plus Drilling Tools (see figure F)

The SDS-plus drill chuck allows for simple and convenient 
changing of drilling tools without the use of additional tools.

– GBH 240 F: Insert the SDS-plus quick change chuck 

2

.

– Clean and lightly grease the shank end of the tool.
– Insert the tool in a twisting manner into the tool holder until 

it latches itself.

– Check the latching by pulling the tool.

As a requirement of the system, the SDS-plus drilling tool can 
move freely. This causes a certain radial run-out at no-load, 
which has no effect on the accuracy of the drill hole, as the 
drill bit centres itself upon drilling.

Removing SDS-plus Drilling Tools (see figure G)

– Push back the locking sleeve 

5

 and remove the tool.

Inserting Drilling Tools without SDS-plus (GBH 240)
Note: 

Do not use tools without SDS-plus for hammer drilling 

or chiselling! Tools without SDS-plus and their drill chucks are 
damaged by hammer drilling or chiselling.

– Insert a key type drill chuck 

17

 (see “Changing the Key 

Type Drill Chuck”, page 15).

– Open the key type drill chuck 

17

 by turning until the tool 

can be inserted. Insert the tool.

– Insert the chuck key into the corresponding holes of the 

key type drill chuck 

17

 and clamp the tool uniformly.

– Turn the mode selector switch 

11

 to the “drilling” position.

Removing Drilling Tools without SDS-plus (GBH 240)

– Turn the sleeve of the key type drill chuck 

17

 with the drill 

chuck key in anticlockwise direction until the drilling tool 
can be removed.

Inserting Drilling Tools without SDS-plus (GBH 240 F) 

(see figure H)
Note: 

Do not use tools without SDS-plus for hammer drilling 

or chiselling! Tools without SDS-plus and their drill chucks are 
damaged by hammer drilling or chiselling.

– Insert the quick change keyless chuck 

1

.

– Firmly hold the retaining ring 

21

 of the quick change 

chuck. Open the tool holder by turning the front sleeve 

20

until the tool can be inserted. Tightly hold the retaining ring 

21

 and firmly turn the front sleeve 

20

 in the direction of the 

arrow until a distinct latching noise can be heard.

– Check the tight seating by pulling the tool.

Note: 

If the tool holder was opened to the stop, then the latch-

ing noise possibly may be heard while closing the tool holder 
and the tool holder will not close.
In this case, turn the front sleeve 

20

 once in the opposite di-

rection of the arrow. Afterwards, the tool holder can be 
closed (tightened) again.

– Turn the mode selector switch 

11

 to the “drilling” position.

Removing Drilling Tools without SDS-plus (GBH 240 F) 

(see figure I)

– Firmly hold the retaining ring 

21

 of the quick change 

chuck. Open the tool holder by turning the front sleeve 

20

in the direction of the arrow until the tool can be removed.

Dust Extraction with the Dust Extraction 

Attachment (Accessory)



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 car-
cinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment 
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials con-
taining asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

– As  far  as  possible,  use  a  dust extraction system suitable 

for the material.

– 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.

Mounting the Dust Extraction Attachment (see figure J)

For dust extraction, the dust extraction attachment (accesso-
ry) is required. When drilling, the dust extraction attachment 
retracts so that the attachment head is always close to the 
surface at the drill hole.
