Assembly
Battery Charging
A new battery or a battery that has not been used for a
longer time produces full power only after approxi-
mately five charge/discharge cycles.
To remove the battery 8, press the unlocking buttons 7
and pull out the battery downwards. Do not exert any
force.
The battery is equipped with an NTC temperature con-
trol which allows charging only within a temperature
range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery ser-
vice life is achieved in this manner.
A significantly reduced working period after charging
indicates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Auxiliary Handle (GSR 18 VE-2 /
GSB 18 VE-2) (see figure A)
f Operate your power tool only with the auxil-
iary handle 6.
The auxiliary handle 6 can be set to any position for a
secure and low-fatigue working posture.
Turn the bottom part of the auxiliary handle 6 in counter-
clockwise direction and swivel the auxiliary handle 6 to
the desired position. Then retighten the bottom part of
the auxiliary handle 6 by turning in clockwise direction.
The clamping band 12 of the auxiliary handle must be
seated in the corresponding groove.
Changing the Tool (see figure B)
f Before any work on the power tool (e. g.,
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, set the rota-
tional direction switch to the center position.
Unintentional actuation of the On/Off switch can
lead to injuries.
The drill spindle is locked when the On/Off switch 11
is not pressed. This makes quick, convenient and easy
changing of the tool in the drill chuck possible.
Open the keyless chuck 1 by turning until the tool can
be inserted. Insert the tool.
Firmly tighten the collar of the keyless chuck 1 by hand
in clockwise direction until the locking action (“click”) is
no longer heard. This automatically locks the drill
chuck.
The locking is released again to remove the tool when
the collar is turned in the opposite direction.
Replacing the Drill Chuck
(see figures E–G)
f Before any work on the power tool (e. g.,
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, set the rota-
tional direction switch to the center position.
Unintentional actuation of the On/Off switch can
lead to injuries.
