applications, with different accessories or insertion tools or is 
poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This 
may significantly increase the exposure level over the total 
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also 
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or 
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total working 
period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator 
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the 
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work pat-
terns.

Assembly



Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains 
plug.

Auxiliary Handle



Operate your machine only with the auxiliary handle 
10.

The auxiliary handle 

10

 can be set to any position for a secure 

and low-fatigue working posture.

– Turn the bottom part of the auxiliary handle 

10

 in counter-

clockwise direction and swivel the auxiliary handle 

10

 to 

the desired position. Then retighten the bottom part of the 
auxiliary handle 

10

 by turning in clockwise direction.

Changing the Tool

With the SDS-max tool holder, simpler and easier tool chang-
ing is possible without additional aids.

The dust protection cap 

1

 largely prevents the penetration of 

dust into the tool holder during operation. When inserting the 
tool, pay attention that the dust protection cap 

1

 is not dam-

aged.



A damaged dust protection cap should be changed im-
mediately. We recommend having this carried out by 
an after-sales service.

Inserting (see figure A)

– 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.

Removing (see figure B)

– Push back the locking sleeve 

2

 and remove the tool.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Dusts 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 dusts can cause allergic 
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or 
bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered as 
carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment 
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing 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 mate-
rials to be worked.

Operation

Starting Operation



Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the 
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

Setting the operating mode

The operating mode of the power tool is selected with the 
mode selector switch 

3

.

Note: 

Change the operating mode only when the machine is 

switched off! Otherwise, the machine can be damaged.

– Turn the mode selector switch 

3

 to the requested position.
