7.2.1 Activating the tool (theft protection system)
(TE 16-M) (accessory available as option)
(Optional – not available with all versions.)
Further detailed information about activation and use of
this optional feature can be found in the separate oper-
ating instructions for the theft protection system.
1. Plug the supply cord into the power outlet. The yel-
low theft protection indicator lamp blinks. The power
tool is now ready to receive the signal from the acti-
vation key.
2. Hold the activation key close to the lock symbol. The
power tool is activated as soon as the theft protection
indicator lamp no longer lights.
-NOTE-
In the event of interruption of the electric supply to the
power tool, e.g. brief disconnection to move to a differ-
ent workplace, the power tool remains operational for
approx. 20 minutes. After a longer interruption, the power
tool must be reactivated by way of the activation key.

1. Engage the function selector switch in the (2
position. Do not operate the function selector switch
while the motor is running.
2. Adjust the side handle to the desired position and
check that it is fitted and secured correctly.
3. Plug the supply cord into the mains socket.
4. Position the tip of the drill bit at the point where the
hole is to be drilled.
5. Press the control switch slowly. Begin drilling at low
speed, increasing speed only after the drill bit has
become centered in the hole.
6. Press the control switch fully to continue drilling at
full power.
7. Do not apply excessive pressure to the tool. This will
not increase its hammering power. Lower contact
pressure increases the life of the insert tool.

speed, increasing speed only after the drill bit has
become centered in the hole.
6. Press the control switch fully to continue drilling at
full power.
7. Do not apply excessive pressure to the tool. This will
not increase its hammering power. Lower contact
pressure increases the life of the insert tool.

ing drilling speed shortly before breaking through.
-NOTE-
When working at low temperatures:
The hammering mechanism begins to operate only when
the tool has reached a minimum operating temperature.
Press the tip of the drill bit briefly against the work surface
while the tool is running. Repeat this procedure if necessary.
