Technical Specifications

Installation and Use

Installing the GFA 18‑M is straightforward:

1. Turn off the power tool and disconnect any battery.
2. Press the release lever on the chuck to unlock it.
3. Insert a compatible 13 mm bit or accessory into the chuck.
4. Release the lever; the chuck will lock automatically around the bit.
5. Reconnect the battery and power on the tool – the chuck is now ready for use.

The keyless design eliminates the need for a separate chuck key, reducing downtime during job sites. The rapid‑release feature also enhances safety by preventing accidental bit retention when the tool is off.
