Practical advice
Only apply the power tool to the screw when the tool
u
is switched off. Rotating application tools can slip off.
After working at a low speed for an extended period, you
should operate the power tool at the maximum speed for ap-
proximately three minutes without load to cool it down.
When drilling into metal, only use sharpened HSS drills (HSS
= high-speed steel) which are in perfect condition. The
Bosch accessory range guarantees appropriate quality.
Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard materials, it
is advisable to pre-drill a pilot hole with the core diameter of
the thread to approx. 2/3 of the screw length.

Only for EU countries:
According to the Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical
and electronic equipment and its transposition into national
law, power tools that are no longer usable, and, according to
the Directive 2006/66/EC, defective or drained batteries
must be collected separately and disposed of in an environ-
mentally correct manner.
If disposed incorrectly, waste electrical and electronic
equipment may have harmful effects on the environment and
human health, due to the potential presence of hazardous
substances.

According to The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/3113) (as amended) and the

Li-ion:
Please observe the notes in the section on transport (see
"Transport", page 17).
Integrated batteries may only be removed for disposal
u
by qualified personnel. Opening the housing shell can
destroy the power tool.
Before you can remove the battery from the power tool, you
will need to use the power tool until the battery is completely
discharged. Unscrew the screws on the housing and remove
the housing shell in order to remove the battery. To prevent
a short circuit, disconnect the connectors on the battery one
at a time and then isolate the poles. Even when fully dis-
charged, the battery still contains a residual capacity which
can be released in case of a short circuit.
