Operation
Working advice
uNever 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.
uDo not use damaged filters (e.g. no cracks, small
holes, etc.). Replace any damaged filters immedi-
ately.
uNever carry the power tool by the dust extraction at-
tachment.
uDuring operation, hold the power tool with fitted dust
extraction attachment not on the dust extraction at-
tachment, but always on the handle and auxiliary
handle of the power tool.
Note: The guide(2) is spring-loaded. The guide can spring
forward when the button(3) for drill bit length adjustment is
pressed.
