d) Rotate side handle to the desired position. Ensure that
it is fitted correctly and tightened securely
e) Connect the supply cord to the power supply.
f) Bring the tip of the drill bit into contact with the work
surface at the position where the hole is to be drilled
and press the control switch slowly. Drill at low speed
until the drill bit centers itself in the hole.
g) Press the control switch fully and continue drilling at
full power. When drilling a through hole, reduce drilling
speed shortly before the drill bit breaks through. This
will reduce spalling around the hole.
Active Torque Control (TE76-ATC / TE76P-ATC)
The TE76-ATC / TE76P-ATC is equipped with the Active
Torque Control system in addition to the mechanical
torque limiting clutch. This system aids in maintaining
control of the tool in the drilling mode. If the drill bit
catches, e.g. on rebar, ATC is designed to help stop the
tool, reducing the risk of an unwanted spin.
When the ATC system has activated, the tool can be
restarted by releasing the control switch and re-engag-
ing it after the the motor has stopped rotating ("click"-
sound signals readiness for use).
Always choose a working position in which the tool is
free to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction (as
seen by the operator). If this is not possible, the ATC
system cannot react.
Drilling using the depth gauge (accessory)
We recommend the use of the depth gauge for drilling
holes to the exact depth required. The depth gauge rod
is offset in order to reduce deviations caused by tilting
the tool and to make it easier to adjust the drilling depth
.
Assembly : Position the depth gauge on the top side
of the power tool so that the two positioning lugs engage
in the depressions for the flange screws. Press the depth
gauge on to the tool until the two rear retaining lugs
engage in the tool casing. Insert the depth gauge rod
into the depth gauge from the front, with the offset end
towards the front of the tool.
Adjusting drilling depth
to the required drilling depth. Adjust the front end of the
depth gauge rod until it is approx. 10 mm (
drill bit and then tighten the locking screw.
After use, remove the depth gauge and store it in the
toolbox.
Drilling without hammering action
Drilling without hammering action is possible with insert
tools with a special connection end. Insert tools of this
kind are available in the Hilti insert tool program. Wood
drill bits or steel drill bits with smooth shank can be fit-
ted, for example, in the keyless chuck and used for drilling
without hammering action. The function selector switch
must be engaged in the hammer drilling position (

Chiseling
The chisel can be adjusted to 24 different positions. This
makes it possible to work with the cutting edge of flat
and shaped chisels at the optimum angle.
a) Insert the chisel into the chuck.
b) Move the function selector switch to the center posi-
tion .
c) Select the position of the chisel (angle of the cutting
edge) by rotating the chuck
selector switch to the chiseling position (
it engages .
d) Select the desired chiseling power (II = full power,
I = half power)
can be of advantage when chiseling brittle materials
(e.g. perforated brick) and when using bushing tools
for surface finishing.
e) Rotate side handle to the desired position. Ensure that
it is fitted correctly and tightened securely
face finishing work, you may also hold the tool at the
chuck gripping section.
f) Connect the supply cord to the power supply.
g) Bring the point of the chisel into contact with the work
surface at the desired position. Press the control
switch slowly to enable precise starting and to pre-
vent the chisel slipping.
h) Press the control switch fully to chisel at full power.
i) If desired, the control switch can be locked in posi-
tion when the tool is operated in chiseling mode
To do so, push the red sliding switch located in the
grip above the control switch to the right, then press
the control switch fully. The tool is now in contant-
on operating mode. Always switch the tool off by
pushing the red sliding switch to the left, to its orig-
inal position.
If you do not intend to chisel in constant-on mode,
always push the red sliding switch located above the
control switch to the left position. Otherwise, the con-
trol switch could unintentionaly be locked in the con-
stant-on position when chiseling.
Never operate the function selector switch
the motor is running. When chiseling, the selector switch
must always be engaged in the chiseling position (
When chiseling, never allow the chisel to penetrate the
base material at a constant angle. This may cause the
chisel to become stuck. Never use the chisel as a crow-
bar to break out material by applying force to it. This
may cause damage to the tool. Maximum removal per-
formance will be achieved when the chisel is guided at
a steep angle, working from the edge towards the low-
est point .
