Working Advice
 Apply the power tool to the screw only when it is
switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
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.

Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfac-
es 11 and the auxiliary handle 9 when performing opera-
tions where the application tool could contact hidden wir-
ing or its own power cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock
the operator.
Maintenance and Cleaning
 For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
After each use, clean the tool, the GFA 18-H, GHA FC2 ham-
mer adapter with tool holder, the ventilation slots of the pow-
er tool and the ventilation slots of the battery.
