7.5 Setting for normal drilling, impact drilling
Fig. A
Press the slide switch (3).
7.6 Setting torque control, maximum torque,
pulse function
Do not work for long periods with pulse func-
tion switched on! (The motor can overheat.)
Machines with designation ...18 LTX BL...:
Fig. F
Turn the setting wheel (13) to switch on the pulse
function (button (5) flashes) or to switch on the
torque control (button (5) lights up continuously)
For maximum torque (drilling position), press the
button (5) (the button (5) is not illuminated). To acti-
vate the settings of setting wheel again: press the
button (5) again or turn the setting wheel.

7.7 Switching on/off, setting speed
Fig. A
Switching on, speed: Press the trigger (15). The
speed can be changed by pressing in the
trigger.
Switching off: release the trigger switch (15). Note:
The noise that the machine makes when it
switches off is due to the design (quick stop)
and has no influence on the function or the
service life of the machine.
7.8 Keyless chuck
With a soft tool shank, retightening may be required
after a short period of operation.
Notes on machines with the designation SB...:
1. The ratchet sound which can possibly be heard
after opening the drill chuck is functional and is
switched off by a reverse rotation of the sleeve.
2. Clamping tool:
Turn sleeve (1) in direction "GRIP, ZU" until the
noticeable mechanical resistance has been
overcome.
Caution! The chuck is not yet fully tight-
ened! Keep turning the sleeve (it must "click"
when turning)) until it cannot be turned any
further - only now is the tool safely clamped.
Cleaning: From time to time, hold the machine
vertically with the keyless chuck facing
downwards and turn the sleeve fully in direction
"GRIP, ZU" and then turn fully in direction
