Use 7.1 Battery pack, capacity and signal display Fig. B Charge the battery pack before use. If performance diminishes, recharge the battery pack. The ideal storage temperature is between 10 °C and 30 °C. 7.2 Removing, replacing battery pack Fig. C 7.3 Setting direction of rotation, transporting safety device (switch-on lock) Fig. D ENGLISH en 7.4 Selecting gear stage Fig. E Only actuate slide switch (4) with the motor at a standstill! 7.5 Setting for normal drilling, impact drilling Fig. A Press the slide switch (3). 7.6 Setting torque control, maximum torque, pulse function Do not work for long periods with pulse function switched on! (The motor can overheat.) Machines with designation ...18 LTX BL Quick...: Fig. F Turn the setting wheel (13) to switch on the pulse function (button (5) flashes) or to switch on the torque control (button (5) lights up continuously) For maximum torque (drilling position), press the button (5) (the button (5) is not illuminated). To activate the settings of setting wheel again: press the button (5) again or turn the setting wheel. Machines with designation ...18 LTX Impuls/ Quick, ...18 LTX BL Impuls: Fig. G Set the desired operating mode at the setting wheel (13): 1...10 = torque control Drill bit = maximum torque Impuls = pulse function 7.7 Switching on/off, setting speed Fig. A Switching on, speed: Press the trigger (15). The speed can be changed by pressing in the trigger. Switching off: release the trigger switch (15). Note: The noise that the machine makes when it switches off is due to the design (quick stop) and has no influence on the function or the service life of the machine. 7.8 Keyless chuck Fig. H With a soft tool shank, retightening may be required after a short period of operation. Notes on machines with the designation SB...: 1. The ratchet sound which can possibly be heard after opening the drill chuck is functional and is switched off by a reverse rotation of the sleeve. 2. Clamping tool: Turn sleeve (1) in direction "GRIP, ZU" until the noticeable mechanical resistance has been overcome. Caution! The chuck is not yet fully tightened! Keep turning the sleeve (it must "click" when turning)) until it cannot be turned any further - only now is the tool safely clamped. Cleaning: From time to time, hold the machine vertically with the keyless chuck facing downwards and turn the sleeve fully in direction "GRIP, ZU" and then turn fully in direction 9
