Swivelling the auxiliary handle (see figure A)
You can swivel the auxiliary handle (17) to any angle for a
safe work posture that minimises fatigue.
– Loosen the wing bolt (16) of the auxiliary handle (17)
and adjust the auxiliary handle (17) to the required posi-
tion. Then retighten the wing bolt (16) of the auxiliary
handle (17).
Make sure that the clamping ring of the auxiliary handle
slots into the corresponding groove on the housing.
Selecting drill chucks and tools
Hammer drilling and chiselling require SDS-plus application
tools that are inserted into the SDS-plus drill chuck.
For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and
plastic as well as for screwdriving, tools without SDS‑plus
are used (e.g. cylindrical shank drill bits). For these tools, a
keyless chuck or a keyed chuck are required.
PBH 3000-2 FRE: The SDS plus quick-change chuck (2) can
easily be swapped with the keyless quick-change chuck (1)
supplied.

Fitting the keyed chuck (see figure B)
PBH 2800 RE/PBH 2900 RE
– Screw the SDS-plus shank (22) into a keyed chuck (21).
Secure the keyed chuck (21) using the securing screw
(20). Note that the securing screw has a left-hand
thread.
Inserting the keyless chuck/keyed chuck (see figure C)
– Clean and lightly grease the insertion end of the shank.
– Insert the keyless chuck/ (23)/keyed chuck (21) with the
shank into the tool holder with a turning motion until it
locks automatically.
– Check that it is locked by pulling the keyless chuck/keyed
chuck.
Removing the keyless chuck/keyed chuck
– Push the locking sleeve (5) back and remove the keyless
chuck (23)/keyed chuck (21).
Removing/inserting the quick-change chuck
PBH 3000-2 FRE
Removing the Quick-Change Chuck (see figure D)
– Pull back on the quick-change chuck locking ring (6), hold
it in this position and pull the SDS plus quick-change
chuck (2) or the keyless quick-change chuck (1) out from
the front.
– Once the quick-change chuck is removed, protect it from
dirt.
Inserting the Quick-Change Chuck (see figure E)
– Before insertion, clean the quick-change chuck and lightly
grease the shank.
Bosch Power Tools
– Wrap your whole hand around the SDS plus quick-change
chuck (2) or the keyless quick-change chuck (1). Use a
turning motion to push the quick-change chuck into the
drill chuck holder (24) until you hear it click into place.
– The quick-change chuck is automatically locked. Check
that it is locked by pulling on the quick-change chuck.
Changing the Tool
The dust protection cap (4) largely prevents the penetration
of drilling dust into the tool holder during operation. When
inserting the tool, make sure that the dust protection cap (4)
does not become damaged.
Replace a damaged dust protection cap immediately.
u
It is recommended that you have use an after-sales
service for this.
Changing the tool (SDS plus)
Inserting SDS plus application tools (see figure F)
The SDS-plus drill chuck enables you to change the applica-
tion tool easily and conveniently without needing to use ad-
ditional tools.
– PBH 3000-2 FRE: Insert the SDS plus quick-change
chuck (2).
– Clean and lightly grease the shank of the application tool.
– Insert the application tool into the tool holder while turn-
ing it until it locks automatically.
– Check that it is locked by pulling on the tool.
As a requirement of the system, the SDS-plus application
tool can move freely. This causes a certain radial run-out at
no-load, which has no effect on the accuracy of the drill hole,
as the drill bit centres itself upon drilling.
Removing SDS-plus application tools (see figure G)
– Push the locking sleeve (5) back and remove the applica-
tion tool.
Changing the keyed chuck
PBH 2800 RE/PBH 2900 RE
Inserting the application tool
Note: Application tools that do not have SDS plus must not
be used for hammer drilling or chiselling. Tools without SDS
plus and their drill chucks are damaged by hammer drilling
or chiselling.
– Insert a keyed chuck (21).
– Open the keyed chuck (21) by turning it until the tool can
be inserted. Insert the tool.
– Insert the chuck key into the corresponding holes of the
keyed chuck (21) and clamp the tool evenly.
– Turn the impact/mode selector switch (12) to the
"drilling" position.
Removing the application tool
– Use the chuck key to turn the sleeve of the keyed
chuck (21) anticlockwise until the application tool can be
removed.
