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.

tic as well as for screwdriving, tools without SDS-plus are
used (e.g., drill bits with cylindrical shank). For these tools, a
keyless chuck or a key type drill chuck are required.

cal shank), a suitable drill chuck must be mounted (key type
drill chuck or keyless chuck, accessories).
Mounting the Key Type Drill Chuck (see figure E)
– Screw the SDS-plus adapter shank
25
into a key type drill
chuck
24
. Secure the key type drill chuck
