6.1 Fitting and adjusting the side handle 2
CAUTION
Remove the depth gauge from the side handle and
the insert tool from the chuck in order to avoid
injury.
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Release the side handle clamping band by turning
the handle counterclockwise.
3. CAUTION With the UD 16 it is essential to ensure
that the sleeve is fitted in the grip section of the
side handle.
Slip the side handle (clamping band) over the
chuck and push it onto the collar around the
gearing section as far as it will go.

7. Operation

Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
WARNING
Do not attempt to use the tool to unscrew screws or
nuts or to free sticking drill bits when the maximum
torque in reverse rotation (see technical data) is
inadequate. There is a risk that the chuck may
become detached from the tool.
WARNING
The electric supply voltage must comply with the
information given on the type identification plate
on the power tool.
CAUTION
Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece securely.
4. CAUTION Check that the ribs on the clamping
band engage in the grooves in the collar around
the gearing section.
CAUTION If the side handle slips in the event of
the drill bit sticking while drilling, check that the
ribs on the side handle clamping band engage
securely with the collar on the power tool. Have
any damaged parts replaced. The side handle
will otherwise be unable to take up the torque
generated by the electric tool.
Pivot the side handle into the desired position (it
engages at a number of set positions).
5. Secure the side handle by turning the grip clock-
wise.
