7.2 Operating the tool 
7.2.1 Activating the tool (theft protection system)
(TE 16-M) (accessory available as option) 
Please refer to the operating instructions for the TPS
theft protection system.
1. Plug the supply cord of the tool into the mains socket.
The yellow theft protection indicator blinks. (The tool
is now under power and ready for activation by con-
tactless communication with a valid electronic acti-
vation key.)
2. Bring the tool within range of the activation key
(approx. 50–70 cm). The tool is activated and ready
for use as soon as the yellow theft protection indi-
cator lamp no longer lights. (The system is designed
so that the activation key for the tool normally does-
n't have to be taken out of the trouser pocket.)
-NOTE-
The tool remains activated and ready for use as long
as it is connected to the mains supply

not increase its hammering power. Lower contact
pressure increases the life of the insert tool.

The hammering mechanism begins to operate only
when the tool has reached a minimum operating tem-

temperature.

/
)
(TE 16-C/TE 16-M) 
