positions, only the rotary movement is transmitted to
the TE-C insert tool or quick-release chuck.
Use of a high spindle speed can be advantageous when
drilling in metal or wood. For higher drilling speed, the
function selection switch must be engaged in the 2nd
gear position ( 2) .

Changing the chuck (TE 2-M)
Pull the chuck release ring towards the front and remove
the chuck completely. When fitting the chuck, pull the
release ring towards the front and hold it in this posi-
tion. Push the chuck onto the guide tube as far as it will
go and release the ring. Rotage the chuck until it engages
and the ring snaps back into its original position
TE-C interchangeable chuck or quick-release inter-
changeable chuck may be fitted to the TE 2-M with chuck
interface .
Drilling using the depth gauge
We recommend the use of the depth gauge for drilling
holes accurately to the desired depth. The depth gauge
is integrated in the side handle, which can be pivoted
and locked in position. Release the side handle (turn
counter-clockwise), set the depth gauge to the desired
drilling depth and tighten the side handle (turn clock-
wise) .
Forwards / reverse rotation
(TE 2 / TE 2-S / TE 2-M)
For screwdriving, the desired direction of rotation can
be selected simply by moving the switch
For forwards rotation, select position ( ) and for rever -
se rotation, select position ( ).
When the tool is operated in reverse rotation, the func-
tion selection switch should be engaged in the posi-
tion for drilling without hammering action ( / 1st gear).
For drilling, always ensure that forwards rotation
( ) is selected.

Hilti power tools have been designed to work opti-
mally as a system together with Hilti insert tools.
Accordingly, highest performance and longest life
expectancy can be achieved when you use this pow-
er tool with Hilti insert tools. A comprehensive pro-
gramme of insert tools and accessories is available for
the TE-C system . Details of the entire programme
can be found in the current Hilti product catalogue.
Should you require insert tools not included in the stan-
dard programme, please contact the Hilti customer ser-
vice department or your Hilti sales representative. Hilti
offers a comprehensive range of special insert tools in
professional quality.
Check your insert tools at regular intervals and replace
them in good time. A damaged or badly worn connec-
tion end may result in damage to the power tool. Drill
bits with chipped or broken carbide tips may no longer
drill holes of the specified diameter, thus influencing
their suitability for anchor fastenings.
Please observe the instructions on care and mainte-
nance of your insert tools given in the following section.
Dust removal (TE DRS-S)
A DRS extraction head can be attached to the side han-
dle / depth gauge. An industrial vacuum cleaner is used
to remove drilling dust and fragments.

Care and maintenance

-CAUTION-
Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power out-
let.
Care of insert tools
Clean off dirt and dust deposits adhering to the insert
tools and protect them from corrosion by wiping the
insert tools from time to time with an oil-soaked rag.
Care of the power tool
-CAUTION-
Keep the power tool, especially its grip surfaces, clean
and free from oil and grease. Do not use cleaning
agents which contain silicone.
The outer casing of the power tool is made froM impact-
resistant plastic. Sections of the grip are made from a
synthetic rubber material.
Never operate the power tool when the ventilation slots
are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots carefully using
a dry brush. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the
interior of the power tool. Clean the outside of the pow-
