For Your Safety
Working safely with this ma-
chine is possible only when the
operating and safety information
are read completely and the in-
structions contained therein are
strictly followed. In addition, the
general safety notes in the en-
closed booklet must be ob-
served. Before using for the first
time, ask for a practical demon-
stration.
Wear protective glasses and hearing protec-
tion.
For long hair, wear hair protection. Work only
with closely fitting clothes.
If the mains cable is damaged or cut through
while working, do not touch the cable but im-
mediately pull the mains plug. Never use the
machine with a damaged cable.
Connect machines that are used in the open
via a residual current device (RCD) with an ac-
tuating current of 30 mA maximum. Use only
extension cables that are approved for outdoor
use.
Always direct the cable to the rear away from
the machine.
Do not carry or hang up the machine by the ca-
ble.
Insert the mains plug only when the machine is
switched off.
Use the machine only with the auxiliary han-
dle 8.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assist-
ance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing an op-
eration where the cutting tool may run into
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the op-
erator.
When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.

Set the machine against the screw /nut only
when switched off.
When screwdriving, operate in first gear as
well as with a low speed.
Be careful when screwing in long screws; dan-
ger of sliding off.
Always switch the machine off and wait until it
has come to a standstill before placing it down.
Never allow children to use the machine.
Bosch is only able to ensure perfect operation
of the machine if the original accessories in-
tended for it are used.
Auxiliary Handle/Depth Stop
Use the machine only with the auxiliary
handle 8.
Loosen the handle by turning to the left. Rotate
the auxiliary handle 8 and adapt to the working
position.
Firmly retighten the handle.
The drilling depth can be set with the depth
stop 9.
The ribbing on depth stop 9 must point upwards.
Changing the Tool
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
With the SDS-plus tool holder, simpler and easier
tool changing is possible without additional aids.
Grease the shank end of the tool regu-
larly.
The dust protection cap 1 largely prevents the
entry of drilling dust during operation. When in-
serting the tool, take care that the dust protection
cap 1 is not damaged.
A damaged dust protection cap should be
changed immediately. We recommend having
this carried out by an after-sales service.
As a requirement of the system, the
SDS-plus tool must rotate freely. At no-load
speed, this leads to a certain amount of ra-
dial run-out.
This does not affect the accuracy of the drill
hole, as the bit is automatically centred dur-
ing drilling.
