Safety Instructions

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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 or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension 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 unavoidable, 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 operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
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 energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating 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 jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing 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 extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding 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 accordance 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.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery 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 other 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 occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Safety information for drills and screwdrivers

Safety instructions for all operations

Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Safety instructions when using long drill bits

Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

Additional safety warnings

Hold the power tool securely. When tightening and loosening screws be prepared for temporarily high torque reactions.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hidden supply lines or contact the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to explosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The application tool can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short- circuiting.
Switch the power tool off immediately if the application tool becomes blocked. Be prepared for high torque reactions which cause kickback. The application tool becomes blocked when it becomes jammed in the workpiece or when the power tool becomes overloaded.
Always slide the gear selector switch or turn the mode selector switch as far as it will go. Otherwise, the power tool may become damaged.
Before any work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and storage, set the rotational direction switch to the middle position. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

The vibration level and noise emission value given in these instructions have been measured in accordance with a standardised measuring procedure and may be used to compare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value represent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other applications, with different application tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually being used should also be taken into account. This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm, and organising workflows correctly.

Assembly

Remove the battery from the power tool before carrying out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be removed for transport and storage. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

Battery Charging

Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of your power tool.

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates.

Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the power tool has automatically switched off. The battery can be damaged.

Removing the Battery

The battery (12) is equipped with two locking levels to prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery release button (13) unintentionally. As long as the battery is inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a spring.
To remove the battery (12) , press the release button (13) and pull the battery out of the power tool. Do not use force to do this.

Battery charge indicator

The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only possible to check the state of charge when the power tool is not in operation.
Press the button for the battery charge indicator or to show the state of charge. This is also possible when the battery is removed.
If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be replaced.

Auxiliary handle

Do not operate your power tool without the auxiliary handle (4).
Before carrying out any work, make sure that the auxiliary handle is tightened. Loss of control can cause personal injury. Ensure that the auxiliary handle is tightened with a torque suited to the fastening method; fasten this to the power tool so that any movement of the auxiliary handle around or along the drilling axis is avoided.

Fitting the auxiliary handle

To open the auxiliary handle, turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (4) in an anticlockwise direction.
Pull back the intermediate piece of the auxiliary handle (5) and hold it in this position.
Slide the auxiliary handle over the drill chuck to mount the auxiliary handle on the power tool.
Then let go of the intermediate piece (5).
Afterwards, turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (4) clockwise to retighten it.

Swivelling the auxiliary handle

You can swivel the auxiliary handle (4) to any angle for a safe work posture that minimises fatigue.
Turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (4) anti-clockwise and swivel the auxiliary handle (4) into the required position. Afterwards, turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (4) clockwise to retighten it.

Setting the drilling depth

You can use the depth stop (3) to set the required drilling depth X.
Loosen the wing bolt for adjusting the depth stop (6) and insert the depth stop into the auxiliary handle (4).
Pull the depth stop (3) far enough out that the distance between the drill bit tip and the edge of the depth stop (3) corresponds to the required drilling depth X.
Retighten the wing bolt for adjusting the depth stop (6).

Changing the Tool (see figure A)

Remove the battery from the power tool before carrying out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be removed for transport and storage. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

Open the keyless chuck (2) by turning it in the direction of rotation 1 until the tool can be inserted. Insert the tool. Firmly tighten the keyless chuck (2) by turning it by hand in the direction of rotation 2. This will automatically lock the drill chuck.

Dust/Chip 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 carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– 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.

Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.

Operation

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery

Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your power tool can lead to malfunctions or damage to the power tool.
Set the rotational direction switch (17) to the middle position to avoid unintentionally switching it on. Insert the charged battery (12) into the handle until you feel it engage and it is flush with the handle.

Setting the rotational direction (see figure B)

Only operate the rotational direction switch (17) when the power tool is not in use.

The rotational direction switch (17) is used to change the rotational direction of the power tool. However, this is not possible while the on/off switch (18) is being pressed.
Right rotation: To drill and to drive in screws, press the rotational direction switch (17) through to the left stop.
Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts, press the rotational direction switch (17) through to the right stop.

Setting the Operating Mode

Set the mode selector switch (8) to the “drilling” symbol.

18 VE-EC - Screwdriving Screwdriving
Set the mode selector switch (8) to the “screwdriving” symbol.

18 VE-EC - Impact drilling Impact drilling (GSB 18 VE-EC)
Set the mode selector switch (8) to the “impact drilling” symbol.

Preselecting torque (applies to screwdriving mode)

The torque presetting ring (7) can be used to preselect the required torque in 25 stages. Once the set torque has been reached, the application tool will be stopped.

Mechanical Gear Selection

Only operate the gear selector (9) when the power tool is not in use.

First gear:
Low speed range; for working with a large drilling diameter or for screwdriving.

Second gear:
High speed range; for working with a small drilling diameter.

Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch (18).
The LED (15) lights up when the on/off switch (18) is lightly or fully pressed, meaning that the work area is illuminated in poor lighting conditions.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (18).

Rapid Shut-Off (KickBack Control)

The emergency switch-off function (KickBack Control) gives the user greater control over the power tool and offers them better protection than power tools that do not have KickBack Control. The power tool will switch off if it suddenly and unforeseeably rotates around the drilling axis.

Rapid shut-off is indicated by the LED on the power tool flashing.
To switch the tool back on , release the on/off switch and then press it again.

It will no longer be possible to switch the drill on if the KickBack Control function is faulty. Have the power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only original replacement parts.

Adjusting the Speed

You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (18) to varying extents.
A light pressure on the on/off switch (18) results in a low rotational speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an increase in speed.

Temperature-dependent overload protection

When used as intended, the power tool cannot be overloaded. In the event of heavy loading or the temperature rising/falling outside the permitted battery temperature range, the speed will be reduced. The power tool will not run at full speed again until the permitted battery temperature has been reached.
Activation of the temperature-controlled overload protector is indicated by the LED (16) on the power tool lighting up red. The LED (16) will go out once the temperature of the tool’s battery is back within the permitted range.

Practical advice

Only apply the power tool to the screw when the tool is switched off. Rotating application tools can slip off.

An auxiliary tool can be used to remove the screwdriver bit or universal bit holder.

Belt clip

You can use the belt clip (11) to hang the power tool on a belt, for example. You then have both hands free and the power tool is always at hand.

Coloured clip (see figure D)

You can use the coloured clip (10) to individually identify the power tool.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Remove the battery from the power tool before carrying out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be removed for transport and storage. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
