Noise/Vibration Information

GDE 18V-26 D

Noise emission values determined according to EN 60335-2-69.

Typically, the A-weighted sound pressure level of the dust extraction attachment is 78 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3 dB. The noise level when working can exceed the declared values.

14|English

Wear hearing protection!

GDE 18V-26 D + GBH 2-26

Noise emission values determined according to EN 60745-2-6.

Typically the A-weighted noise level of the power tool are: 93 dB(A); sound power level 104 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3 dB.

Wear hearing protection!

Vibration total values a_h (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K determined according to EN 60745-2-6: a_h < 13m / s^2 K = 1.5m / s^2

The vibration level given in these instructions has been measured in accordance with a standardised measuring procedure and may be used to compare power tools. It can also be used for a preliminary estimation of exposure to vibration.

The stated vibration level applies to the main applications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for different applications, with different application tools or poorly maintained, the vibration level may differ. This can significantly increase the exposure to vibration over the total working period.

To estimate the exposure to vibration accurately, the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually being used should also be taken into account. This can significantly reduce the exposure to vibration over the total working period.

Implement additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the power tool and application tools, keeping the hands warm, and organising workflows correctly.

Assembly

Battery Charging

Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of your power tool.

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger before using your power tool for the first time.

The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process does not damage the battery.

The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates.

Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the power tool has automatically switched off. The battery can be damaged.

Follow the instructions on correct disposal.

Removing the Battery

The battery (12) is equipped with two locking levels to prevent the battery from falling out if the battery release

button (21) is pressed unintentionally. As long as the battery is inserted into the dust extraction attachment, it is held in position by means of a spring.

Before carrying out any work on the dust extraction attachment (e.g. assembly, tool change, cleaning, etc.), remove the battery from the dust extraction attachment. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

To remove the battery, press the release button and pull the battery out of the dust extraction attachment. Do not use force to do this.

Battery charge indicator

The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only possible to check the state of charge when the dust extraction attachment has been stopped.

Press the button for the battery charge indicator or show the state of charge. This is also possible when the battery is removed.

If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be replaced.

Fitting the Stabilising Brackets (see figure A)

• Push the stabilising bracket (11) all the way into the assembly openings (22).

Fitting the Dust Extraction Attachment (see figures B1-B2)

Ensure the dust extraction attachment is correctly attached to the rotary hammer. Using the dust extraction attachment reduces the risks posed by dust.

• GDE 18V-26 D with GBH 2-26 (F) or GBH 2-28 (F): Fit the stabilising bracket (11) on the dust extraction attachment.
• Remove the auxiliary handle of the rotary hammer.
• Place the dust extraction attachment on a stable surface.
  Put the front part of the rotary hammer down on the mounting bracket (9).
• Push the rotary hammer forwards into the clamping ring (8), until you can hear the rotary hammer click into place into both of the guide pins (10) and the locking receptacle (6).

Make sure that the clamping ring (8) of the auxiliary handle slots into the corresponding groove of the housing on the rotary hammer.

• Fit the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (7).
• Swivel the auxiliary handle (7) around the axis of the rotary hammer to the required position.
  Turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (7) clockwise to tighten it.
• To loosen the rotary hammer from the dust extraction attachment, loosen the clamping ring (8) by turning the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (7) anticlockwise.
• Push the locking tab (5) while pulling the rotary hammer to the rear and pushing downwards at the same time.

Operation

Working advice

• Never use the dust extraction attachment without a filter. If the dust extraction attachment is used without a filter, larger particles of drilling dust can be flung towards the user and the power tool can be damaged.
  Do not use damaged filters (e.g. no cracks, small holes, etc.). Replace any damaged filters immediately.
  Never carry the power tool by the dust extraction attachment.

Note: The guide (18) is spring-loaded. The guide can spring forward when the button (17) for drill bit length adjustment is pressed.

Switching On and Off

• To switch on the dust extraction attachment, press the on/off switch (14).

• To switch off the dust extraction attachment, press the on/off switch (14) again.

Inserting/removing the drill bit (see figure C)

• Press the button (17) for drilling depth adjustment and pull the guide (18) all the way out.
• Release the button (17) again.
• Slide the tip of the drill bit through the dust cap (3) from behind and then fit the bit into the drill chuck according to the instructions of your power tool.
  Before removing the drill bit, press the button (17) again and pull the guide (18) all the way out.

Adjusting the Guide Length (see figure D)

To ensure that dust is extracted cleanly and the depth stop is set correctly, the guide (18) must be adjusted so that the tip of the drill bit is flush at the front with the dust cap (1)/(3).

• Insert the required drill bit into the tool holder of the drill chuck.
• Press the button (17) while adjusting the guide (18) to match the drill bit length.
• Release the button (17) again.

Note: To store the dust extraction attachment, press the button (17) and pull the guide (18) all the way out. This relieves the strain on the guide's spring, which increases the service life of the spring.
