Auxiliary Handle (GSB 18 VE-2/
GSB 24 VE-2/ GSR 18 VE-2/
GSR 24 VE-2) (see figure A)
f Before any work on the machine (e. g., main-
tenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, set the rotational di-
rection switch to the centre position. Unin-
tentional actuation of the On/Off switch can
lead to injuries.
f Operate your machine only with the auxiliary
handle 9.
The auxiliary handle 9 can be set to any position
for a secure and low-fatigue working posture.
Turn the bottom part of the auxiliary handle 9 in
counterclockwise direction and swivel the auxil-
iary handle 9 to the desired position. Then
retighten the bottom part of the auxiliary handle
9 by turning in clockwise direction.
The clamping band 11 of the auxiliary handle
must be seated in the corresponding groove.
Changing the Tool (see figure B)
f Before any work on the machine (e. g., main-
tenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, set the rotational di-
rection switch to the centre position. Unin-
tentional actuation of the On/Off switch can
lead to injuries.
The drill spindle is locked when the On/Off
switch 4 is not pressed. This makes quick, con-
venient and easy changing of the tool in the drill
chuck possible.
Open the keyless chuck 3 by turning in rotation
direction n, until the tool can be inserted. Insert
the tool.
Firmly tighten the collar of the keyless chuck 3 by
hand in rotation direction o until the locking ac-
tion (“click”) is no longer heard. This automati-
cally locks the chuck.
The locking is released again to remove the tool
when the collar is turned in the opposite direc-
tion.
Replacing the Drill Chuck
f Before any work on the machine (e. g., main-
tenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, set the rotational di-
rection switch to the centre position. Unin-
tentional actuation of the On/Off switch can
lead to injuries.
Removing the Securing Screw (see figure C)
The keyless chuck 3 is secured with a securing
screw 13 against unintentional loosening from
the drill spindle. Completely open the keyless
chuck 3 and unscrew the securing screw 13 in ro-
tation direction n. Please note that the securing
screw has a left-hand thread.
Removing the Drill Chuck (see figure D)
Clamp the short end of an Allen key 14 into the
keyless chuck 3.
Place the machine on a stable surface (e.g. a
workbench). Hold the machine firmly and loosen
the keyless chuck 3 by turning the Allen key 14 in
rotation direction n. Loosen a tight-seated key-
less chuck by giving the long end of the Allen key
14 a light blow. Remove the Allen key from the
keyless chuck and completely unscrew the key-
less chuck.
Mounting the Drill Chuck (see figure E)
The keyless chuck is mounted in reverse order.
Note: After mounting the keyless chuck, screw
the securing screw 13 in again.
The drill chuck must be tightened with a
tightening torque of approx. 10–25 Nm.
