HILTI TE 17 handbook?

[siegmuel]

Hi Gerhard,
thanks very much for the link. The explanations and pictures are great. However I am afraid this may be a real challange for me. Actually I thought I could easily replace the old drill chuck with the new one. Well, will see.

best regards
Siggi

I just got a te17 and the bits seem to be locked in until I start drilling.
Any suggestions?
Thanks Rich

Have you turned the front of the chuck to lock them in. About a 1/4 of a turn.

Ive turned it to snap an it seems that its locked when you pull on it
But it looses grip

I have both the TE-17, which by the way, I have been using on a weekly basis. I have learned so much from this site. I also see that I have one of the earlier models that is all metal chuck. I am now in the process of cleaning it and installing new brushes. (If the brushes ever arrive. If not, I'll have some special ordered.) I have heard AW46 hydraulic will work just fine in the 17. This 17 is in great shape for the use it has had over the past what 40 years. I also have the next model after the 17. How am I always winding up with old used equipment? There was an old AC man going out of business and he sold me a truck with a bunch of tools, many dating back to the 60's. I am having quite a ball. Again, thanks for the info. I'll try to post some pictures of the old 17.

Hello all, I've recently inherited a Hilti TE 17 hammer drill - well used, but seemingly working fine - but with no handbook. Not really sure how the chucks work on these and I'm trying to figure out if it has a hammer only function for chiseling etc.
Can't find anything on the web other than this was one of their earliest models. Have emailed Hilti Australia too, but had no response after a week. Wondering if anyone has a handbook for one of these that I can copy, or knows where to get one?
Cheers,
Tony

Hilti just recently sent me a parts breakdown and diagrams of the TE-17 if anyone would like a copy. I am new here so maybe it is already posted. But for you experienced users I guess you know how to contact me. Just let me know. Thanks. I also found a good place to get replacement brushes. Tony

Here is the Te-17 info that Hilti sent me. Hope this helps someone
