Mechanical gear selection
Only operate the gear selector (3) when the power
u
tool is not in use.
You can preselect two speed ranges with the gear selector
(3).
First gear:
Low speed range; for working with a large drilling diameter
or for screwdriving.
Second gear:
High speed range; for working with a small drilling diameter.
If the gear selector switch (3) cannot be pushed all the way,
turn the drill chuck slightly with the drill.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(7).
The lamp (9) lights up when the on/off switch (7) 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 (7).
Adjusting the Speed
You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by
pressing in the on/off switch (7) to varying extents.
A light pressure on the on/off switch (7) results in a low rota-
tional speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an in-
crease in speed.
Fully automatic spindle lock (Auto-Lock)
The drill spindle, and therefore the tool holder, are locked
when the on/off switch (7) is not pressed.
This enables screws to be screwed in even when the battery
(5) is empty and allows the power tool to be used as a
screwdriver.
Run-out brake
Upon releasing the on/off switch (7), 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 (7) once the screw has been inserted flush
into the workpiece. This way, the head of screw will not pen-
etrate the workpiece.
Battery charge-control indicator
When the on/off switch (7) is pressed in halfway or com-
pletely, the battery charge-control indicator (8) indicates
the charge condition of the battery for several seconds. The
indicator consists of three green LEDs.
LEDs
3× continuous green light
2× continuous green light
1× continuous green light
1× flashing green light
Bosch Power Tools
Temperature-dependent overload protection
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. In the event of heaving loading or the temperature
rising/falling outside the permitted battery temperature
range, the speed will be reduced. The power tool will not run
at full speed again until the permitted battery temperature
has been reached.
Practical advice
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.
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.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
