Starting Operation

The rotational direction switch (16) is used to change the rotational direction of the power tool. However, this is not possible while the on/off switch (17) is being pressed.

Rotate clockwise: Slide the rotational direction switch (16) on both sides until it stops in the position.

Rotate anti-clockwise: Slide the rotational direction switch (16) on both sides until it stops in the position.

Drilling

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

Screwdriving

Set the mode selector switch (8) to the "screwdriving" symbol.

GSB 18V-110 C:

Impact drilling

Set the mode selector switch (8) to the "impact drilling" symbol.

To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch (17).

The LED (13) lights up when the on/off switch (17) 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 (17).

You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (17) to varying extents.

A light pressure on the on/off switch (17) results in a low rotational speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an increase in speed.

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.

  • Only operate the gear selector (9) when the power tool is not in use.
  • Always push the gear selector switch as far as it will go. Otherwise, the power tool may become damaged.

You can preselect two speed ranges with the gear selector (9).

Application range

1

Low

High

For heavy-duty applications:

e.g. drilling and screwdriving with large diameters

2

High

Low

For light-duty applications:

e.g. drilling and screwdriving with small diameters

When used as intended, the power tool cannot be overloaded. In the event of overloading or the temperature rising/falling outside the permitted operating temperature range, the speed will be reduced. The power tool will not run at full speed again until the permitted operating temperature has been reached.

Activation of the temperature-controlled overload protector is indicated by the LED (14) on the power tool lighting up red. To return to within the permitted operating temperature range, switch the gear selector (9) to first gear, run the power tool at no load or wait until the LED (14) goes out. When the LED (14) has gone out, the tool has returned to within the permitted operating temperature range.

The rapid shut-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 power tool on if the KickBack Control function is faulty. Have the power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only original replacement parts.

In conjunction with the Bluetooth® Low Energy Module GCY 30-4 / GCY 42 / GCY 42 NC, the following connectivity functions are available for the power tool:

  • Registration and personalisation
  • Status check, output of warning messages
  • General information and settings
  • Management
