GEAR SHIFTING

Your tool is equipped with two separate gear
ranges, low gear and high gear. Low gear
provides high-torque and slower drilling speeds
for heavy duty work or for driving screws. High
gear provides faster speeds for drilling lighter
work. To change speeds slide switch, to the high
or low position (Fig. 10).
ATTENTION: If your tool appears to be running,
but the chuck will not turn, check to make sure
the gear shifting switch is pushed fully into
desired setting.
ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH
Your tool features 20 clutch settings. Output
torque will increase as the clutch ring, is rotated
from 1 to 20. The drill "
up the clutch to permit drilling and driving
heavyduty work, and also enables bits to be
changed quickly and easily in the keyless chuck
(Fig. 11).
ADJUSTABLE
CLUTCH
When the trigger switch is released it activates
the brake to stop the chuck quickly. This is
especially useful in the repetitive driving and
removal of screws.
BUILT IN LED WORK LIGHT
Your tool is also equipped with an LED light that
turns on automatically when the switch is
activated, for better visibility when drilling/ driving
(Fig. 1). The light turns off automatically a short
time after the trigger is released. You can adjust
this time frame using Bosch Tool Box app. See
"Connectivity" section.

TEMPERATURE OVERLOAD
PROTECTION
Avoid using battery operated tools continuously,
for long periods of time, while subjecting the tool
to overload conditions, such as drilling with large
diameter accessories into hard materials. Using
battery powered tools at extreme loads, may
cause the battery to exceed its allowable
operating temperature range. When the battery
exceeds normal operating temperature caused by
overload, the speed of the tool may be reduced
and the tool may appear to lose power. To regain
the tool's full performance, the battery must be
allowed to cool, until the operating temperature
returns to normal.
