7.1.5 Fitting the chuck 7
CAUTION
Remove the depth gauge from the side handle in order
to avoid injury.
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Grip the chuck sleeve, pull it forward and hold it
en
securely in this position.
3. Slide the chuck onto the guide tube from the front
and then release the sleeve.
4. Rotate the chuck until it is heard to engage.
7.2 Operation
CAUTION
Working on the material may cause it to splinter. Wear
eye protection and protective gloves. Wear breathing
protection if no dust removal system is used. Splin-
tering material presents a risk of injury to the eyes and
body.
CAUTION
The work generates noise. Wear ear protectors. Expos-
ure to noise can cause hearing loss.
NOTE
The TE 30‑M is equipped with a protective electronic
motor cut-out that is active in 1st gear (rotary-only drilling
and hammer drilling). This cut-out switches the tool off
automatically when motor speed drops below a specified
speed for a long time. After the tool has switched itself
off it can be restarted by briefly releasing the switch and
then pressing it again.
7.2.1 Unlocking the tool (theft protection system –
not available for all versions) 8
NOTE
Further detailed information on activation and use of the
theft protection system can be found in the operating
instructions for the theft protection system.
NOTE
If, for example, the electric supply is briefly interrupted
due to a power failure or disconnected when moving to
a different workplace, the power tool remains ready for
operation for approx. 20 minutes. In the event of a longer
interruption, the TPS key must be used to unlock the
power tool.

1. Plug the supply cord into the power outlet. The
yellow theft protection indicator LED blinks. The
power tool is now ready to receive the signal from
the TPS key.
2. Hold the TPS key against the lock symbol. The
power tool is unlocked as soon as the yellow theft
protection indicator LED no longer lights.
7.2.2 Drilling without hammering 9
CAUTION
Do not operate the function selector switch while the
motor is running.
1. Turn the function selector switch until it engages
in the "Drilling without hammering" position
(TE 30‑M‑AVR 1st and 2nd gear) .
2. Bring the side handle into the desired position and
check that it is fitted correctly and secured.
3. Plug the supply cord into the power outlet.
4. Position the power tool and drill bit at the point
where the hole is to be drilled.
5. Press the control switch slowly (drill at a low speed
until the drill bit centers itself in the hole).
6. Press the control switch fully to continue drilling with
full power.
7. Do not apply excessive pressure. This will not in-
crease the power tool's drilling performance. Lower
pressure extends the life of the insert tool.
7.2.3 Hammer drilling 9
NOTE
Working at low temperatures: The hammering mech-
anism works only when the power tool has reached a
minimum operating temperature. Bring the tip of the drill
bit or chisel into contact with the workpiece and allow
the power tool to run under no load until it reaches
the minimum operating temperature. If necessary, repeat
this procedure until the hammering mechanism begins to
operate.
CAUTION
Do not operate the function selector switch while the
motor is running.
1. Turn the function selector switch until it engages in
the "Hammer drilling" position.
2. Bring the side handle into the desired position and
check that it is fitted correctly and secured.
3. Plug the supply cord into the power outlet.
4. Position the power tool and drill bit at the point
where the hole is to be drilled.
5. Press the control switch slowly (drill at a low speed
until the drill bit centers itself in the hole).
6. Press the control switch fully to continue drilling with
full power.
7. Do not apply excessive pressure. This will not in-
crease the power tool's hammering performance.
Lower pressure extends the life of the insert tool.
