Switching On/Off - Bosch EasyImpact 12 Notice Originale

Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your power tool can
lead to malfunctions or damage to the power tool.
Insert the charged battery (10) into the handle until you feel
it engage and it is flush with the handle.
Setting the Rotational Direction
The electronic rotational direction switch (7) is used to
change the rotational direction of the power tool. However,
this is not possible while the on/off switch (11) is being
pressed.
The rotational direction indicator (4)/(5) lights up when the
on/off switch (11) is pressed, the rotational direction switch
(7) is pressed and the motor is running.
Clockwise rotation (see figure C)
Set the power tool to clockwise rotation for drilling
and driving in screws. Push the electronic rota-
tional direction switch (7) down until the rota-
tional direction indicator (4) lights up.
Anti-clockwise rotation (see figure D)
Set the power tool to anti-clockwise rotation for
loosening and unscrewing screws and nuts. Push
the electronic rotational direction switch (7) down
until the rotational direction indicator (5) lights
up.
Presetting the torque/setting the operating mode
Only turn the setting ring (2) when the power tool is
u
not in use.
You can use the setting ring (2) to set the torque you require
from "Min" to "Max" and to select the operating mode.
Screwdriving mode
MIN–MAX If the torque has been preset (MIN–MAX), then
the power tool is in first gear.
The operating mode indicator (3) shows the
"screwdriving mode" symbol. When the correct
setting is used, the application tool will be
stopped as soon as the screw is driven flush
into the material or as soon as the set torque
has been reached.
When unscrewing screws, you can select a
higher setting or set the setting ring (2) to the
"drilling" symbol.
Drilling mode
When the setting ring (2) is set to the "drilling"
symbol, then the power tool is in second gear.
The operating mode indicator (3) shows the
"drilling mode" symbol.
Use this setting for drilling in wood, metal or
plastic.
Impact drilling mode
When the setting ring (2) is set to the "hammer"
symbol, then the power tool is in second gear.
The operating mode indicator (3) shows the
"drilling mode" symbol.
Bosch Power Tools
Use this setting for impact drilling in brick, ma-
sonry and stone.

Switching on/off

To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(11).
The lamp lights up when the on/off switch (11) is lightly or
fully pressed, meaning that the work area is illuminated in
poor lighting conditions.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (11).
Adjusting the Speed/Impact Rate
You can adjust the speed/impact rate of the power tool when
it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (11) to varying ex-
tents.
Applying light pressure to the on/off switch (11) results in a
low rotational speed/impact rate. Applying increasing pres-
sure to the switch increases the speed/impact rate.
Fully automatic spindle lock (Auto-Lock)
The drill spindle, and therefore the tool holder, are locked
when the on/off switch (11) is not pressed.
This allows screws to be driven in even when the battery is
discharged and enables the power tool to be used as a
screwdriver.
Run-out brake
Upon releasing the on/off switch (11), the drill chuck is
slowed down, which prevents the application tool from con-
tinuing to rotate.
When driving in screws, you should therefore only release
the on/off switch (11) once the screw has been inserted
flush into the workpiece. This way, the head of screw will not
penetrate the workpiece.
Battery charge-control indicator
When the on/off switch (11) is pressed in halfway or com-
pletely, the battery charge-control indicator (6) indicates
the charge condition of the battery for several seconds. The
indicator consists of three green LEDs.
The three LEDs of the battery charge indicator (6) and the
lamp (12) flash quickly when the temperature of the battery
falls or rises outside the operating temperature range of -30
to +70 °C.
LED
Continuous lighting 3 x green
Continuous lighting 2 x green
Continuous lighting 1 x green
Slowly flashing light 1 x green
Temperature-dependent overload protection
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. If the power tool is overloaded or the permitted bat-
tery temperature is exceeded, the electronics of the power
tool will switch off until the temperature returns to within the
optimum operating temperature range.
