The specifications apply to a rated voltage [U] of 230 V. These spe-
cifications may vary at different voltages and in country-specific mod-
els.
Please observe the article number on the type plate of your power
tool. The trade names of the individual power tools may vary.
Assembly

ponding holes of the keyed chuck (1) and clamp the tool
evenly.
Screwdriving tools (see figure B)
You should always use a universal bit holder (9) when using
screwdriver bits (8). Only use screwdriver bits that fit the
screw head.
For screwdriving, make sure the "drilling/impact drilling" se-
lector switch (2) is always set to the "drilling" symbol.
Dust/Chip Extraction
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.

sible while the on/off switch (4) is being pressed.
Right rotation: To drill and to drive in screws, press the ro-
tational direction switch (5) through to the left stop.
Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts,
press the rotational direction switch (5) through to the right

power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
