6. Commissioning

6.1 Assembly of additional handle (1) (depending on the model)

For safety reasons, always use the additional handle supplied.

ENGLISHen

Open the clamping ring by turning the additional handle (1) anticlockwise. Push the additional handle onto the collar of the machine. Securely tighten the additional handle at the angle required for the application.

7. Use

7.1 The machine's multifunctional monitoring system

If the machine switches off automatically, the machine electronics have activated automatic protection mode. A warning signal sounds (continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger is released (13).

In spite of this protective function, overloading is still possible with certain applications and can result in damage to the machine.

Causes and remedies:

1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics prevent the battery pack from discharging totally and avoid irreparable damage). If one LED is flashing (9), the battery pack is almost flat. If necessary, press the (8) button and check the LEDs (9) to see the charge level. If the battery pack is almost flat, it must be recharged.

2. Long continuous overloading of the machine will activate the temperature cut-out. Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.

Note: If the battery pack feels very warm, the pack will cool more quickly in your "AIR COOLED" charger.

Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you operate it at idling speed.

1. If the current is too high (for example, if the machine seizes continuously for long periods), the machine switches off.

Switch off the machine at the trigger (13). Then continue working as normal. Try to prevent the machine from seizing.

7.2 Battery pack

Charge the battery pack before use (10).

If performance diminishes, recharge the battery pack.

"Li-Power" li-ion battery packs have a capacity and signal indicator: (9)

- Press the (8) button, the LEDs indicate the charge level.

- If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost flat and must be recharged.

7.3 Removing and inserting the battery pack

Removal:

Press the battery pack release (7) button and pull the battery pack (10) forwards.

Inserting:

Slide in the battery pack (10) until it engages.

7.4 Setting the direction of rotation, engaging the transporting safety device (switch-on lock)

Set the rotation selector switch (6).

See page 2.

R = Clockwise setting

L = Counter-clockwise setting

0 = Central position: transport lock setting (switch-on lock)

7.5 Selecting gear stage

Do not actuate the switch (5) unless the motor has stopped completely!

If the switch (5) cannot be turned up to the stop, however, press the trigger (13) slightly so that the motor rotates slowly. It will then be possible to turn the switch (5) all the way up to the stop.

Press the switch (5) (left or right of the machine).

Note: the torque can be adjusted to different settings depending on the gear selected! In 2nd gear from 1.5 to 3.5 Nm and in 1st gear from 3.5 to 12.5 Nm.

Note: Once the set torque has been reached, the screwdriver clutch emits a rattling noise and the machine is automatically switched off.

◀ = Drill setting - no torque control (for max. torque)

7.7 Drilling and impact drilling (depending on the model)

Press the slide switch (3).

T

= Impact drilling

Note: Always work at high speeds when impact drilling.

7.8 Activating the pulse function (depending on the model)

Do not work for long periods with pulse function switched on! (The motor can overheat.)

Press the button (11) to activate or deactivate the pulse function.

The button (11) flashes when the pulse function is active.

Note: If the machine is not used for approx. 5 minutes, the pulse function switches off automatically and the flashing button (11) goes out.

7.9 On/Off switch, setting the speed

Switching on, speed: press the trigger (13). The rotational speed can be changed at the trigger switch by pressing.

Switching off: Release the trigger (13). 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.

7.10 LED lights

For working on dimly lit areas. The LED lights (12) light up when the machine is switched on.

7.11 Opening, tensioning the keyless chuck

Opening the chuck

Turn sleeve (2) in the direction "AUF, RELEASE".

The grating sound which may be heard after opening the drill chuck is functional and is stopped by turning the sleeve (2) in the opposite direction.

Clamping the tool

- Open the keyless chuck and insert the tool as far as possible.

- Turn sleeve (2) in direction "GRIP, ZU" until the noticeable mechanical resistance has been overcome.

- Caution! The tool is not yet clamped! Keep turning the sleeve (it must "click" when turning) until it cannot be turned any further - only now is the tool securely clamped.

7.12 Chuck with Quick replacement system (for BS 18 LTX Quick)

To remove: Push the interlock ring forward (a), advance and pull off the chuck (b).

To mount: Push the interlock ring forward and move the chuck as far as the limit stop on the drill spindle.

7.13 Unscrewing the chuck

(for BS 14.4 LTX Impuls, BS 18 LTX,

• Open the keyless chuck.
• Slacken the screw (a) (note: left-handed thread!).
• Lock the spindle using a spanner (c) and unscrew the keyless chuck (2) using spanner (b).
  Employ the same procedure when attaching the chuck, except in reverse order.

8. Maintenance, cleaning

From time to time, hold the machine vertically with the chuck facing downwards and turn the sleeve fully in the direction "GRIP, ZU" and then turn fully in the direction "AUF, RELEASE". The dust collected falls from the keyless chuck.

9. Tips and Tricks

Drilling

• Preferably in 2nd gear (high speed).
• Activate the pulse function (depending on the model) to drill steel, aluminium or tiles without centre punching or pre-drilling.
• Drill tiles and other brittle materials without impact (depending on the model).
• In the case of deep bores, pull the drill bit out of the bore from time to time in order to remove the drill dust or swarf.

Screws

• Preferably in 1st gear (low speed) and with torque control.
• Before inserting screws with deformed heads into wood, activate the pulse function (depending on the model).
• Activate the pulse function (depending on the model) to reach the maximum torque while inserting screws.
• The drill chuck can be removed for screwdriving. Insert the bit directly in the hexagon socket on the spindle.
  With the BS 18 LTX Quick, the screwdriver bit is held in place by a magnet. Use the clamping bush for other tools. (The screwdriver bit is retained if a bit clamping bush (accessory, order no. 6.31281) is fitted.)

Thread tapping

• Lubricate the dies.
• Select 1st gear (low speed).
• Adjust torque control.
