Rapid shut-off (KickBack Control)
The rapid shut-off function (KickBack
Control) gives the user greater control
over the power tool and offers them bet-
ter protection than power tools that do
not have KickBack Control. If the power
tool suddenly and unforeseeably rotates
around the drilling axis, it will switch off
and the rapid shut-off indicator (17) will
light up and the worklight (12) will flash.
When rapid shut-off is activated, the
status indicator (20) flashes red.
– To switch the tool back on, release the on/off switch (9)
and then press it again.
Electronic Precision Control (EPC)
EPC assists you when working with impact in sensitive ma-
terials by ensuring slow start-up and reduced operating
speed.
Adaptive Speed Control in "Chiselling" Operating Mode
For better control and precise position-
ing, the power tool starts at a low speed
and then quickly increases to the max-
imum speed.
Adapted Speed Control is started up
automatically when the power tool is
switched on.
Vibration damping
The integrated vibration damping function re-
duces the generated vibration.
Do not continue to use the power tool if the damping
u
element is damaged.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
Replace a damaged dust protection cap immediately.
