During the charging procedure, the three green
LEDs light up one after the other and briefly go
out. The battery is fully charged when the three
green LEDs light up continuously. The three
LEDs go out again approx. 5 minutes after the
battery has been fully charged.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature
control which allows charging only within a tem-
perature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A long
battery service life is achieved in this manner.

Selecting Drill Chucks and Tools
For hammer drilling and chiselling, SDS-plus
tools are required that are inserted in the SDS-
plus drill chuck.
For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ce-
ramic and plastic as well as for screwdriving and
thread cutting, tools without SDS-plus are used
(e.g., drills with cylindrical shank). For these
tools, a keyless chuck or a key type drill chuck
are required.
GBH 36 VF-LI: The SDS-plus quick change chuck
2 can easily be replaced against the quick
change keyless chuck 1 provided.
Changing the Key Type Drill Chuck
(GBH 36 V-LI)
To work with tools without SDS-plus (e.g., drills
with cylindrical shank), a suitable drill chuck
must be mounted (key type drill chuck or key-
less chuck, accessories).
Mounting the Key Type Drill Chuck
(see figure C)
Screw the SDS-plus adapter shank 21 into a key
type drill chuck 20. Secure the key type drill
chuck 20 with the securing screw 19. Please ob-
serve that the securing screw has a left-hand
thread.
Inserting the Key Type Drill Chuck
(see figure D)
Clean the shank end of the adapter shank and
apply a light coat of grease.

shank into the tool holder with a turning motion
until it automatically locks.
Check the locking effect by pulling the key type
drill chuck.
