Pull the depth stop (7) far enough out that the distance
between the drill bit tip and the edge of the depth stop (7)
corresponds to the required drilling depth X.
Then turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (6)
clockwise to retighten it.
The fluting on the depth stop (7) must face downwards.
Changing the Tool
Wear protective gloves when changing tools. The drill
u
chuck may heat up significantly when it is used for long
periods.
Keyed chuck (see figure B)
Open the keyed chuck (1) by turning it until the tool can be
inserted. Insert the tool.
Insert the drill chuck key (9) into the corresponding holes of
the keyed chuck (1) and clamp the tool evenly.
Screwdriving tools (see figure C)
You should always use a universal bit holder (11) when using
screwdriver bits (10). Only use screwdriver bits that fit the
screw head.
For screwdriving, make sure the "drilling/impact drilling" se-
lector switch (2) is always set to the "drilling" symbol.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one's
health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci-
nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment ad-
ditives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the ma-
terials to be worked.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Changing the drill chuck
If your power tool does not have a drill spindle locking
u
mechanism, you must have the drill chuck changed by an
authorised after-sales service centre for Bosch power
tools.
The drill chuck must be tightened using a tight-
ening torque of approx. 30–35 Nm.
Operation
Starting Operation
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool.
Bosch Power Tools
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Setting the rotational direction (see figure D – E)
Only operate the rotational direction switch (5) when
u
the power tool is not in use.
The rotational direction switch (5) is used to change the ro-
tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
sible while the on/off switch (4) is being pressed.
Right rotation: To drill and to drive in screws, press the ro-
tational direction switch (5) through to the left stop.
Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts,
press the rotational direction switch (5) through to the right
stop.
Setting the Operating Mode
Drilling and screwdriving
Set the selector switch (2) to the "drilling" sym-
bol.
Impact drilling
Set the selector switch (2) to the "impact
drilling" symbol.
The selector switch (2) clicks into place and can also be ac-
tuated when the motor is running.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(4).
Press the lock-on button (3) to lock the on/off switch (4) in
this position.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (4);
or, if the switch is locked with the lock-on button (3), briefly
press the on/off switch (4) and then release it.
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 (4) to varying ex-
tents.
Applying light pressure to the on/off switch (4) results in a
low rotational speed/impact rate. Applying increasing pres-
sure to the switch increases the speed/impact rate.
Practical Advice
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the
u
tool is switched off. Rotating tool inserts 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.
To drill into tiles, set the selector switch (2) to the "drilling"
symbol. After drilling through the tile, set the selector switch
to the "impact drilling" symbol and drill with impact.
Use carbide drill bits when working with concrete, stone and
masonry.
