Dust/Chip Extraction

Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one's
health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci-
nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment ad-
ditives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the ma-
terials to be worked.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Operation

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery

Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your power tool can
lead to malfunctions or damage to the power tool.
Set the rotational direction switch (9) to the middle position
to avoid unintentionally switching it on. Insert the charged
battery (6) into the handle until you feel it engage and it is
flush with the handle.
Setting the rotational direction (see figure G)
The rotational direction switch (9) is used to change the ro-
tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
sible while the on/off switch (10) is being pressed.
Right rotation: To drill and to drive in screws, press the ro-
tational direction switch (9) through to the left stop.
Bosch Power Tools
Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts,
press the rotational direction switch (9) through to the right
stop.
Preselecting the Torque
The torque presetting ring (3) can be used to preselect the
required torque in 15 stages. When the correct setting is
used, the application tool will be stopped when the screw is
driven flush into the material or once the set torque has been
reached. In position
e.g. for drilling.
When unscrewing screws, it may be advisable to select a
higher setting or the
Mechanical gear selection
u
You can preselect two speed ranges with the gear selector
(4).
First gear:
Low speed range; for working with a large drilling diameter
and pull it off the holder
or for screwdriving.
Second gear:
High speed range; for working with a small drilling diameter.

Switching on/off

To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(10).
The worklight (8) lights up when the on/off switch (10) is
lightly or fully pressed, allowing the work area to be illumin-
ated in poor lighting conditions.
The worklight (8) will remain lit for approximately ten
seconds after the on/off switch (10) has been released.
Adjusting the Speed
You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by
pressing in the on/off switch (10) to varying extents.
A light pressure on the on/off switch (10) results in a low ro-
tational speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an
increase in speed.
Fully automatic spindle lock (Auto-Lock)
The drill spindle, and therefore the holder (1), are locked
when the on/off switch (10) is not pressed.
This enables screws to be screwed in even when the battery
is empty and allows the power tool to be used as a screw-
driver.
Temperature-dependent overload protection
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. If the power tool is overloaded or not kept within the
permitted battery temperature range, the power output is
reduced or the power tool is switched off. The power tool
will not run at full power output again until the permitted bat-
tery temperature has been reached.
the overload clutch is deactivated,
symbol.
Only operate the gear selector (4) when the power
tool is not in use.
Always push the gear selector switch as far as it will
go. Otherwise, the power tool may become damaged.
