Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Assembly
Before carrying out any work on the power tool (e.g.
u
maintenance, tool change etc.), remove the battery
from the power tool. There is risk of injury from uninten-
tionally pressing the on/off switch.
Auxiliary handle
Do not operate your power tool without the auxiliary
u
handle (14).
Make sure that the auxiliary handle is always
u
tightened. Otherwise you could lose control of the power
tool when working.
Swivelling the auxiliary handle (see figure A)
You can swivel the auxiliary handle (14) to any angle for a
safe work posture that minimises fatigue.
– Turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (14)
anticlockwise and swivel the auxiliary handle (14) into
the required position. Then turn the lower gripping end of
the auxiliary handle (14) clockwise to retighten it.
Make sure that the retaining strap of the auxiliary handle
slots into the corresponding groove of the housing.
Selecting drill chucks and tools
For hammer drilling and chiselling, you will need SDS plus
tools, which insert 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.
Changing the drill chuck
Inserting/removing the keyed chuck
You must use a suitable drill chuck (keyed or keyless chuck)
to work with tools that do not have SDS plus (e.g. cylindrical
shank drill bits).
Bosch Power Tools
Fitting the keyed chuck (see figure B)
Capacity
– Screw the SDS plus shank (19) into a keyed chuck (18).
20–40 %
Secure the keyed chuck (18) using the securing screw
5–20 %
(17). Note that the securing screw has a left-hand
0–5 %
thread.
Inserting the keyed chuck (see figure B)
– Clean and lightly grease the insertion end of the shank
(19).
– Insert the keyed chuck (18) with the shank (19) into the
tool holder with a turning motion until it locks automatic-
ally.
– Check that it is locked by pulling the keyed chuck (18).
Removing the keyed chuck
– Push the locking sleeve (4) back and remove the keyed
chuck (18).
Changing the tool
The dust protection cap (3) largely prevents the penetration
of drilling dust into the tool holder during operation. When
inserting the tool, make sure that the dust protection cap (3)
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 the SDS plus Application Tool (see figure C)
The SDS plus drill chuck (1) enables you to change the ap-
plication tool easily and conveniently without needing to use
additional tools.
– Clean and lightly grease the shank of the application tool.
– Insert the application tool into the tool holder (2) while
turning 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 the SDS plus Application Tool (see figure D)
– Push the locking sleeve (4) back and remove the applica-
tion tool.
Changing the keyed chuck
Inserting the application tool (see figure E)
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 (18).
– Open the keyed chuck (18) by turning it until the tool can
be inserted. Insert the tool.
– Insert the chuck key (20) into the corresponding holes of
the keyed chuck (18) and clamp the tool evenly.
– Turn the impact/mode selector switch (11) to the
"drilling" position.
