Frequently Asked Questions - SB2E 680 R AEG

How to change the quick-release chuck?
Before any operation, unplug the drill. Hold the spindle with a fork wrench and unscrew the chuck by hand turning to the left. If necessary, use a hex key inserted into the chuck and give light taps on the key. Assembly is in reverse order.
How to adjust the depth stop?
Insert the depth stop into the bore on the auxiliary handle. Tighten it at the desired position relative to the drill bit. This allows drilling to a specific depth.
What is the difference between drilling and percussion drilling mode?
Drilling mode (without percussion) is used for metal, plastic, wood and screwdriving. Percussion drilling mode is intended for stone, concrete, hard brick and marble. For tiles and soft materials, use drilling mode.
How to select the speed?
Use the speed selector on the machine. Position 1 for first gear (high torque, low speed), position 2 for second gear (high speed). The change can be made when stopped or idling.
How to reverse the direction of rotation?
Use the rotation direction switch. It should only be operated when the motor is stopped. For continuous operation, first press the On/Off switch, then the lock button, then release the switch.
Which drill bits to use for drilling in stone?
Use tungsten carbide drill bits with cylindrical shank. Never use SDS-PLUS bits. For hard materials like concrete, activate percussion.
How to maintain the drill?
Keep the ventilation slots clean. After heavy percussion use, remove dust from the chuck by loosening and tightening it several times. Have the brushes checked once a year at an AEG service center.
Is it possible to screw with this drill?
Yes, it can be used for screwdriving. Use appropriate screwdriver bits. For soft wood, you can screw without pre-drilling. For hard wood or large diameter screws, pre-drill a hole.
What to do if the chuck jams?
If the chuck is jammed due to heavy load, hold the chuck head with a fork wrench and use an adjustable wrench to loosen the front sleeve by turning to the left. This will not damage the chuck.
What protective gear to wear during use?
Always wear safety glasses. It is recommended to wear safety gloves and a dust mask. Use ear protection as the noise level can reach 105 dB(A).

How to clean and maintain the AEG SB2E 680 R electric drill?
Frequently Asked Questions - 01/04/2026
Response Notice-Facile

To keep your AEG SB2E 680 R electric drill in good working condition and extend its lifespan, regular and careful maintenance is essential. The key elements to follow will allow your machine to remain efficient for many years.

Before any intervention, always unplug the drill from the power outlet to avoid any risk of electric shock or accidental start-up. This safety rule is crucial for all maintenance work.

Cleaning the ventilation openings: Always keep the ventilation openings of the motor section clean and clear. Dust that accumulates on these openings reduces the cooling efficiency of the motor. Use a dry cloth or a soft brush to regularly dust the outer surface and ventilation slots. For hard-to-reach areas, a soft brush or a small vacuum cleaner is recommended.

Chuck maintenance in case of frequent percussion use: If your drill is often used in percussion mode, regularly remove the accumulated dust from the chuck. Hold the machine in a vertical position, with the chuck facing down, then loosen and tighten the chuck fully several times. All the accumulated dust will naturally fall out of the chuck. Then, apply the specific cleaning spray (reference AEG 4932 6217 19) on the jaws and the holes of the chuck jaws to ensure optimal operation. This application improves clamping performance and prevents corrosion.

General cleaning and accessories: Wipe the body of the drill with a slightly damp cloth to remove work dust and residues. Avoid immersing the machine or wetting the electrical connectors and ventilation openings. The drill bits and screwdriver bits can be cleaned separately with warm soapy water, then rinsed and dried completely.

Annual maintenance: It is recommended to have the wear of the motor brushes inspected once a year by an authorized AEG service center. This preventive inspection detects wear before it affects performance. Only use original AEG parts and accessories for all maintenance or repair work.

Why is the percussion mode of my AEG SB2E 680 R drill not working and how can I reactivate it?
Frequently Asked Questions - 02/02/2026
Response Notice-Facile

If the percussion mode of your AEG SB2E 680 R drill is not working, here are several points to check to identify and resolve the issue:

1. Check the operating mode

Make sure the drill is set to percussion mode. This mode is usually activated via a selector or a separate button that allows switching from standard drilling to percussion drilling. Check that this selector is properly positioned on percussion.

2. Check the power supply

  • Cordless drill: Ensure that the battery is sufficiently charged. A weak battery may prevent the percussion mode from functioning properly.
  • Corded drill: Make sure the power cord is properly plugged in and in good condition, without cuts or damage.

3. Inspect the chuck and drill bit

A poorly secured drill bit or a defective chuck can prevent percussion. Check that the drill bit is properly inserted and tightened in the chuck.

4. General condition of the drill

Examine the drill for any physical damage, especially if it has been subjected to shocks or falls, which could affect the percussion mechanism.

5. Listen and test

When you activate the percussion mode, listen for a characteristic sound different from standard drilling. A complete absence of noise may indicate an internal problem.

6. In case of persistent issues

If after these checks the percussion mode still does not work, it is recommended to consult a professional or customer service for diagnosis and possible repair.

Advice for your safetyPlease pay attention to the safety instructions in the attached leaflet! Dust that arises when working on material containing asbestos or stonework containing crystalline silicic acid is harmful to the health. Please follow accident prevention regulations. Appliances used at many different locations including open air must be connected via a current surge preventing switch. Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is recommended to wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes and apron. Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running. Do not pierce the motor housing as this could damage the double insulation (use adhesives). Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the machine. Only plug-in when machine is switched off. Keep mains lead clear from working range of the machine. Always lead the cable away behind you. Always use the auxiliary handle, even if the machine has a safety clutch since this safety clutch only engages when the machine blocks with a jerk. Do not use diamond core drills on hammer mode. When drilling in walls ceiling, or floor, take care to avoid electric cables and gas or waterpipes. SBE 600 R, SB2E 680 R, SB2-700, SB2E 700 R, SB2E 700 RS, SB2E 705 PLUS, SB2E 750 R, SB2E 760 R

Modifications: Text, diagrams and data are correct at the time of printing. In the interest of continuous improvement of our products, technical specifications are subject to alteration without prior notice.

Mains connectionConnect only to a single-phase AC current supply and only to the mains voltage specified on the rating plate. Connection to sockets without earth protection is possible as the appliance features protective insulation to DIN 57 740/ VDE 0740 and CEE 20. Radio suppression complies with the European standard EN 55014. When fitting the plug, make sure that the brown (live) wire of this appliance is connected to the plug terminal marked L or coloured red, and the blue (neutral) wire of this appliance is connected to the plug terminal marked N or coloured black. Under no circumstances must the wires of this appliance be connected to the earth terminal of the plug marked either E, with the earth symbol or coloured green or green/yellow.
UseThe electronic drill/screwdriver can be universally used for drilling, percussion drilling, screwdriving and cutting screw threads. Do not use this product in another way as stated for normal use.
Keyless chuck (according to standard equipment) Changing the keyless drill chuckAlways disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the machine. Usually, the chuck can be removed by hand: steady the drill spindle with a fork wrench and unscrew the chuck by turning it anti-clockwise.
Should the chuck be stuck on the drill spindle, fit another fork wrench to the chuck and the drill spindle (see illustration) or fix an Allen key in the chuck. If necessary, hit the key shaft lightly with a plastic hammer. Mount the chuck in reverse order. Under high strain in anti-clockwise operation, the chuck might become loose. Please use the bit reception to loosen screws in anti-clockwise operation. (not for SB2-700)
Inserting the toolCompletely insert the tool shaft into the open chuck. Hold the grip and firmly tighten the chuck by turning the sleeve in the "GRIP" direction. After the clamping jaws have tightened around the tool shaft, turn the chuck a further 1/4 in order to let the chucking power retention engage. Only then can the tool itself be chucked by vigorously turning the sleeve in the "GRIP" direction (it engages audibly with a grating noise.) The chucking power retention is mainly needed for percussion drilling. When the chuck is opened with a strong jerk as far as it will go, it is possible that it can't be closed anymore. Instead, "grating" can be felt (as if the chuck were over-tightened). In this case turn the sleeve once more in the "RELEASE" direction; now it can be closed again. The chuck is not damaged by this "grating". When percussion drilling in stone the drill bit should be checked for tight seat in the chuck after first use. If necessary, re-tighten the chuck by hand.

Removing the toolHold the grip and open the chuck by turning the sleeve in the "RELEASE" direction. When turning the sleeve the chucking power retention is released, after 1/4 turn the clamping jaws open and release the clamped tool. Due to the high power potential of the percussion drill the chuck might get stuck at very high load and can not be opened by hand. In this case, please steady the chuck head with a fork wrench and loosen the front sleeve of the chuck with aid of a footprint anti-clockwise (see illustration). The use of a footprint will not cause any damage to the chuck.
Three jaw chuck (according to standard equipment)Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the machine.
Changing the three jaw chuck1. Hold the drive shank with the open-jaw spanner.
2. Insert the drill chuck key in the drill chuck and loosen the drill chuck to the left by tapping it lightly with a rubber hammer.
Inserting toolsMount the chuck in reverse order.
The chuck can be used for drill bits or screwdriver bits. For this purpose, open the chuck, insert the selected bit and secure by tightening the chuck with the chuck key. To remove tools insert chuck key into one of the three holes at the chuck mouth and turn anti-clockwise.
Setting the depth gaugeFor drilling to specific depth, slide the depth gauge into the hole provided in the handle and fasten it at the required drilling depth.

Bit storage (not for SB2-700)To open the bit storage compartment insert index finger in recess (as illustrated) and pull locking lever in direction of spindle. The bit compartment holds a maximum of 6 screwdriver bits.
Advice for operation Tips on drilling in masonryTake the drill out of the hole from time to time to remove dust. Switch to percussion-drilling for concrete, hard bricks and tiles, stone, hard cement, and marble (but not when drilling the surface of marble). For tiles, paving-stones, soft bricks and tiles, soft cement, breeze-block and plaster, switch to normal drilling. Use percussion carbide tipped masonry drill-bits. When drilling a hard, smooth surface (e.g. tiles), cover the point to be drilled with adhesive tape in order to prevent the drill tip from skidding.
Tips on drilling in metalCenter punch the point you have marked for drilling. Always hold sheet metal firmly in a vice. Lay a block of wood under thin metal to prevent it from distorting. Use HSS spiral drill bits. (For white cast iron, use drill bits with special tips.) Before drilling large-diameter holes, first drill a small pilot hole. Use lubricant: Steel: Oil Aluminium: Turpentine, paraffin Brass, copper, cast iron: no lubricant, but take the drill out of the hole frequently to cool it off.
Tips on drilling into woodCenter punch the point you have marked for drilling. To prevent the wood from splintering when the drill bit tip breaks through, lay a piece of scrap wood underneath it, or drill from both sides. The maximum drill-diameter can only be reached with a Forstner-drill bit.
Tips for screw-drivingUse screwdriver bits of the appropriate size and shape. Suitable screws can be driven into softwood without pre-drilling. Pre-drill into hardwood or for screws of large diameter. Pre-drill further for countersunk screws. For woodscrews threaded less than their full length, pre-drill approx. half the length of the screw. Under high strain in anti-clockwise operation, the chuck might become loose. Please use the bit reception to loosen screws in anti-clockwise operation. (not for SB2-700).
MaintenanceThe ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times. If the machine is mainly used for percussion drilling, regularly remove collected dust from the chuck. To remove the dust hold the machine with the chuck facing down vertically, and completely open and close the chuck. The collected dust will fall from the chuck. It is recommended to regularly use cleaner (Id.No. 4932 6217 19) for the clamping jaws and the clamping jaw borings. In order to guarantee constant readiness for operation, the machine should be checked for worn carbon brushes at one of the AEG after-sales service agencies. Use only AEG accessories and spare parts. Should components need to be replaced which have not been described, please contact one of our AEG service agents (see our list of guarantee/service addresses). If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered. Please state the ten-digit No. as well as the machine type printed on the label and order the drawing at your local service agents or directly at: Atlas Copco Electric Tools GmbH, Postfach 320, D-71361 Winnenden.
