Gear Selection, Mechanical
Actuate the gear selector 4 only when the machine is at
a standstill.
Two speed ranges can be preselected with the gear selector
4.
Gear I:
Low speed range; for screwdriving or working with large drill-
ing diameter.
Gear II:
High speed range; for working with small drilling diameter.
If the gear selector 4 cannot be pushed through to the stop,
lightly turn the drill chuck with drill.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 9 and keep it
pressed.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 9.
Adjusting the Speed
The speed of the switched on power tool can be variably ad-
justed, depending on how far the On/Off switch 9 is pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 9 results in a low rotation-
al speed. Further pressure on the switch results in an increase
in speed.
Fully automatic spindle locking (Auto-lock)
When the On/Off switch 9 is not pressed, the drill spindle and
thus the tool holder are locked.
This enables screws to be screwed in, even when the battery
is empty and allows for the machine to be used as a screwdriv-
er.
Run-on Brake
When the On/Off switch 9 is released, the chuck brakes to a
stop, thus preventing the run-on of the tool.
When driving in screws, wait until the screw is screwed in
flush with the material and then release the On/Off switch 9.
By doing so, the head of the screw does not penetrate into the
material.

Working Advice

Apply the power tool to the screw only when it is
switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
Note: Pay attention that no metal particles enter the power
tool.
After longer periods of working at low speed, allow the ma-
chine to cool down by running it for approx. 3 minutes at max-
imum speed with no load.
For drilling in metal, use only perfectly sharpened HSS drill
bits (HSS=high-speed steel). The appropriate quality is guar-
anteed by the Bosch accessories program.
Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard materials, it is
advisable to predrill a pilot hole with the core diameter of the
2
thread to approx. / of the screw length.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufac-
turing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by
an after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order, please always in-
clude the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of
the machine.
