Changing the drill chuck

Inserting/removing the keyed chuck

GBH 18V-26

You must use a suitable drill chuck (keyed or keyless chuck, accessories) to work with tools that do not have SDS-plus (e.g. cylindrical shank drill bits).

  • Screw the SDS-plus shank (23) into a keyed chuck (22). Secure the keyed chuck (22) using the securing screw (21). Note that the securing screw has a left-hand thread.

  • Clean and lightly grease the insertion end of the shank.
  • Insert the keyed chuck with the adapter shank into the tool holder with a turning motion until it automatically locks.
  • Check that it is locked by pulling the keyed chuck.

  • Push the locking sleeve (5) back and remove the keyed chuck (22).

Removing/inserting the quick-change chuck

GBH 18V-26 F

Removing the Quick-Change Chuck (see figure C)

  • Pull back on the quick-change chuck locking ring (6), hold it in this position and pull the SDS plus quick-change chuck (2) or the keyless quick-change chuck (1) out from the front.
  • Once the quick-change chuck is removed, protect it from dirt.

Inserting the quick-change chuck (see figure D)

  • Use only model-specific original equipment and pay attention to the number of identification grooves (25). Only quick-change chucks with two or three identification grooves are permitted. If an unsuitable quick-change chuck is used, the application tool can fall out during operation.
  • Before insertion, clean the quick-change chuck and lightly grease the shank.
  • Wrap your whole hand around the SDS-plus quick-change chuck (2) or the keyless quick-change chuck (1). Use a turning motion to push the quick-change chuck into the drill chuck holder (24) until you hear it click into place.
  • The quick-change chuck is automatically locked. Check that it is locked by pulling on the quick-change chuck.
