INTENDED USE
This tool is intended for the fastening and
loosening of bolts, nuts and various threaded
fasteners. This tool is not intended for use as
a drill.
The Bosch model PS41 Cordless Impact
Driver has a collet that accepts only
standard 1/4" hexagonal shank accessories
with power groove. The low RPM capability
of this model is not a deficiency. On the
contrary, low speed means high torque and
high torque is a definite plus for efficient drilling
and driving. The low speed also provides more
control to prevent stripout of the screw and
damage to the work surface.

SCREWDRIVER
BIT
Do not use this tool as a drill. Tools equipped
with shut-off clutches are not designed for
drilling applications. The clutch can shut off
automatically and without warning. Attempting
to restart drilling after shut-off has been
reached can cause the tool to twist out of your
hand until the clutch again reaches shut-off. Do
not attempt to insert quick-change type drill bits
into this chuck.
FIG. 3
For forward rotation, (with chuck pointed
away from you) move the lever to the far left .
For reverse rotation move the lever to the far
right. To activate trigger lock move lever to
the center off position.
Do not change direction
of rotation until the tool
comes to a complete stop. Shifting during
rotation of the chuck can cause damage to
the tool.
