Safety Notes
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while op-
erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal inju-
ries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or en-
ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-
tating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another bat-
tery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from oth-
er metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by the Ramset Service
Centre using only identical replacement parts. This will
en-sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Hammer Safety Warnings
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hear-
ing loss.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and mois-
ture. Danger of explosion.

In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irri-
tate the respiratory system.
Use the battery only in conjunction with your Ramset
power tool. This measure alone protects the battery
against dangerous overload.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as
nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An
internal short circuit can occur and the battery can burn,
smoke, explode or overheat.

Chiselling: ah=9.0 m/s2, K=1.5 m/s2
Drilling into metal: ah=2.5 m/s2, K=1.5 m/s2 Screwdriving
without impact: ah=2.5 m/s2, K=1.5 m/s2 The vibration
level given in this information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and
may be used to compare one tool with anoth-er. It may be
used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared
vibration emission level represents the main ap-plications of
the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications,
with different accessories or insertion tools or is poorly
maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may
significantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may
significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working
period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work pat-
terns.

tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and stor-
age, set the rotational direction switch to the centre
position. Unintentional actuation of the On/Off switch can
lead to injuries.
Battery Charging (see figure A)
Use only the battery chargers listed on the accessories
page. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lith-
ium-ion battery of your power tool.
Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
Removing the battery
The battery 11 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button 18 unintentionally. As long as the battery is
inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a

one after the other and briefly go out. The battery is fully
charged when the three green LEDs light up continuously. The
three LEDs go out again approx. 5 minutes after the battery
has been fully charged.
Auxiliary Handle
Operate your machine only with the auxiliary handle
16.
Changing the position of the auxiliary handle
(see figure C)
The auxiliary handle 16 can be set to any position for a secure
and low-fatigue working posture.
–Turn the bottom part of the auxiliary handle 16 in counter-
clockwise direction and swivel the auxiliary handle 16 to
the desired position. Then retighten the bottom part of the
auxiliary handle 16 by turning in clockwise direction.
Pay attention that the clamping band of the auxiliary handle is
positioned in the groove on the housing as intended for.
Selecting Drill Chucks and Tools
For hammer drilling and chiselling, SDS-plus tools are re-
quired that are inserted in the SDS-plus drill chuck.
For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and plas-
tic as well as for screwdriving, tools without SDS-plus are
used (e.g., drill bits with cylindrical shank). For these tools
the keyless chuck is required.
Removing/Inserting the Quick Change Chuck
The SDS-plus quick change chuck 2 can easily be replaced
against the quick change keyless chuck 1 provided.
Removing the Quick Change Chuck (see figure E)
–Pull the lock ring for the quick change chuck 6 toward the
rear, hold it in this position and pull off the SDS-plus quick
change chuck 2 or the quick change keyless chuck 1 to-
ward the front.
–After removing, protect the replacement chuck against
contamination.
Inserting the Quick Change Chuck (see figure F)

–
Use only model-specific original equipment and pay at-
tention to the number of identification grooves 24. On-
ly quick-change chucks with two or three identification
grooves are permitted. When an unsuitable quick-change
chuck is used, the application tool could fall out during op-
eration.
Before inserting, clean the quick change chuck and apply a
light coat of grease to the shank end.
–
–
Grasp the SDS-plus quick change chuck 2 or the quick
change keyless chuck 1 completely with your hand. Slide
the quick change chuck with a turning motion onto the drill
chuck mounting 23 until a distinct latching noise is heard.
The quick change chuck is automatically locked. Check the
locking effect by pulling the quick change chuck.

A damaged dust protection cap should be changed im-
mediately. We recommend having this carried out by
an after-sales service.
Changing the Tool (SDS-plus)
Inserting SDS-plus Drilling Tools (see figure G)
The SDS-plus drill chuck allows for simple and convenient
changing of drilling tools without the use of additional tools.
–Insert the SDS-plus quick change chuck 2.
–Clean and lightly grease the shank end of the tool.
–Insert the tool in a twisting manner into the tool holder until
it latches itself.
–Check the latching by pulling the tool.
As a requirement of the system, the SDS-plus drilling tool can
move freely. This causes a certain radial run-out at no-load,
which has no effect on the accuracy of the drill hole, as the
drill bit centres itself upon drilling.
Removing SDS-plus Drilling Tools (see figure H)
– Push back the locking sleeve 5 and remove the tool.
Changing the Tool (without SDS-plus)
Inserting (see figure I)
Note: Do not use tools without SDS-plus for hammer drilling
or chiselling! Tools without SDS-plus and their drill chucks are
damaged by hammer drilling or chiselling.
–Insert the quick change keyless chuck 1.
–Firmly hold the retaining ring 26 of the quick change
chuck. Open the tool holder by turning the front sleeve 25
until the tool can be inserted. Tightly hold the retaining ring
26 and firmly turn the front sleeve 25 in the direction of the
arrow until a distinct latching noise can be heard.
–Check the tight seating by pulling the tool.
Note: If the tool holder was opened to the stop, then the latch-
ing noise possibly may be heard while closing the tool holder
and the tool holder will not close.
In this case, turn the front sleeve 25 once in the opposite di-
rection of the arrow. Afterwards, the tool holder can be
closed (tightened) again.
–Turn the mode selector switch 13 to the “drilling” position.
Removing (see figure J)
–Firmly hold the retaining ring 26 of the quick change
chuck. Open the tool holder by turning the front sleeve 25 in
the direction of the arrow until the tool can be removed.
Dust Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered car-
cinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials con-
taining asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
–As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
–Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
–It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.
Dust Extraction with CBDBOX18 (Accessories)
(see figure K)
A CBDBOX18 (accessory) can be used for extracting
concrete dust and stone dust.
This dust extraction system is not suitable for dust from
wood, metal and plastic or for dust which is harmful to one’s
health (e.g. asbestos).
Operation
Starting Operation

Reversing the rotational direction
The rotational direction switch 8 is used to reverse the rota-
tional direction of the machine. However, this is not possible
with the On/Off switch 10 actuated.
Right rotation: Slide the rotational direction switch 8 all
the way to the left.
Left rotation: Slide the rotational direction switch 8 all the
way to the right.
Set the direction of rotation for hammer drilling, drilling and
chiselling always to right rotation.
Switching On and Off
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
–To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 10.
When starting the machine for the first time, a starting delay
is possible, as the electronic system of the power tool has to
configure itself first.
–To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 10.
Setting the Speed/Impact Rate
The speed/impact rate of the switched on power tool can be
variably adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch 10
is pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 10 results in low
speed/impact rate. Further pressure on the switch increases
the speed/impact rate.
Electronic Precision Control (EPC) (see figure A)
EPC assists you when working with impact in sensitive mate-
rials by ensuring slow start-up and reduced operating speed.
–Slide the EPC switch 19 to the desired position.
Overload Clutch
If the tool insert becomes caught or jammed, the drive
to the drill spindle is interrupted. Because of the forces
that occur, always hold the power tool firmly with both
hands and provide for a secure stance.
If the power tool jams, switch the machine off and loos-
en the tool insert. When switching the machine on with
the drilling tool jammed, high reaction torques can oc-
cur.
Rapid Shut-off (Kickback Control)
The rapid shut-off feature (Kickback Control) provides better
control over the power tool to increase user protection com-
pared to power tools that do not have Kickback Control. The
power tool will switch off if it suddenly and unforeseeably ro-
tates around the drilling axis.
–To restart the machine, release the On/Off switch and
then actuate again.
Rapid shut-off is indicated by flashing of the worklight 14 on
the power tool.
Working Advice
Adjusting the Drilling Depth (see figure L)
The required drilling depth X can be set with the depth stop
17.
–Press the button for the depth stop adjustment 15 and in-
sert the depth stop into the auxiliary handle 16.
The knurled surface of the depth stop 17 must face down-
ward.
–Insert the SDS-plus drilling tool to the stop into the SDS-
plus tool holder 3. Otherwise, the movability of the SDS-
plus drilling tool can lead to incorrect adjustment of the
drilling depth.
–Pull out the depth stop until the distance between the tip of
the drill bit and the tip of the depth stop corresponds with
the desired drilling depth X.
Changing the Chiselling Position (Vario-Lock)
The chisel can be locked in 44 positions. In this manner, the
optimum working position can be set for each application.
–Insert the chisel into the tool holder.
–Turn the mode selector switch 13 to the “Vario-Lock” posi-
tion (see “Setting the operating mode”, page 20).
–Turn the tool holder to the desired chiselling position.
–Turn the mode selector switch 13 to the “chiselling” posi-
tion. The tool holder is now locked.
–For chiselling, set the rotation direction to right rotation.
Inserting Screwdriver Bits (see figure M)
Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only when it is
switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
To work with screwdriver bits, a universal bit holder with
SDS-plus shank (accessory) is required.
–Clean the shank end of the adapter shank and apply a light
coat of grease.
–Insert the universal bit holder with a turning motion into
the tool holder until it automatically locks.
–Check the locking effect by pulling the universal bit holder.

–
Insert a screwdriver bit into the universal bit holder. Use
only screwdriver bits that match the screw head.
–
To remove the universal bit holder, pull the locking sleeve
5 toward the rear and remove the universal bit holder out
of the tool holder.
Vibration Damper
The integrated vibration damper reduces occurring vibra-
tions.
The soft grip handle increases
the safety against slipping off
and thus provides for a better grip and handling of the power
tool.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature range between
–20 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the battery in
the car in summer.
Occasionally clean the venting sl
ots of the battery using a soft,
clean and dry brush.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.
