Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
 Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
Removing the battery
The battery 17 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button 12 unintentionally. As long as the battery is
inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a
spring.
To remove the battery 17:
– Push the battery against the base of the power tool (1.)
and at the same time press the battery unlocking button 12
(2.).
– Pull the battery out of the power tool until a red stripe be-
comes visible (3.).
– Press the battery unlocking button 12 again and pull out
the battery completely.
Battery Charge-control Indication
The three green LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator
15 indicate the charge condition of the battery 17. For safety
reasons, it is only possible to check the status of the charge
condition when the machine is at a standstill.
– Push button 16 to indicate the charge condition (also pos-
sible when the battery is removed). The battery charge-
control indicator automatically goes out after approx.
5 seconds.
LED
Continuous lighting 3 x green
Continuous lighting 2 x green
Continuous lighting 1 x green
Flashing light 1 x green
When no LED lights up after pushing button 16, then the bat-
tery is defective and must be replaced.
During the charging procedure, the three green LEDs light up
one after the other and briefly go out. The battery is fully
Bosch Power Tools
charged when the three green LEDs light up continuously. The
three LEDs go out again approx. 5 minutes after the battery
has been fully charged.

Auxiliary Handle

 Operate your machine only with the auxiliary handle
19.
Changing the position of the auxiliary handle
(see figure A)
The auxiliary handle 19 can be set to any position for a secure
and low-fatigue working posture.
– Turn the bottom part of the auxiliary handle 19 in counter-
clockwise direction and swivel the auxiliary handle 19 to
the desired position. Then retighten the bottom part of the
auxiliary handle 19 by turning in clockwise direction.
Pay attention that the clamping band of the auxiliary handle is
positioned in the groove on the housing as intended for.
Adjusting the Drilling Depth (see figure B)
The required drilling depth X can be set with the depth stop
18.
– Press the button for the depth stop adjustment 13 and in-
sert the depth stop into the auxiliary handle 19.
The knurled surface of the depth stop 18 must face down-
ward.
– Insert the SDS-plus drilling tool to the stop into the SDS-
plus tool holder 3. Otherwise, the movability of the SDS-
plus drilling tool can lead to incorrect adjustment of the
drilling depth.
– Pull out the depth stop until the distance between the tip of
the drill bit and the tip of the depth stop corresponds with
the desired drilling depth X.

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.
For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and plas-
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.
GBH 36 VF-LI: The SDS-plus quick change chuck 2 can easily
be replaced against the quick change keyless chuck 1 provid-
ed.
Changing the Keyless Chuck (GBH 36 V-LI)
To work with tools without SDS-plus (e.g., drills with cylindri-
cal shank), a suitable drill chuck must be mounted (key type
drill chuck or keyless chuck, accessories).
