Operation
Starting Operation
Setting the rotational direction (see figure C)
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 (9) 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, press the ro-
tational direction switch (5) through to the right stop.
Preselecting the Torque
The torque presetting ring (4) can be used to preselect the
required torque in 20 stages. When the correct setting is
used, the application tool will be stopped when the screw is
driven flush into the material or once the set torque has been
reached. In position
the overload clutch is deactivated,
e.g. for drilling.
When unscrewing screws, you can select a higher setting or
set the tool to the
symbol.
Setting the Operating Mode
Drilling
Set the torque presetting ring (4) to the
"drilling" symbol.
Adjusting the speed
You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by
pressing in the on/off switch (9) to varying extents.
A light pressure on the on/off switch (9) results in a low rota-
tional speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an in-
crease in speed.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(9).
The LED (8) lights up when the on/off switch (9) 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 (9).
LED worklight with status indicator
The LED worklight (8) is used as a status indic-
ator for device protection and low battery
status:

– If the battery status is low, charge the battery (6) or re-
place the weak battery with a fully charged battery.
Fully automatic spindle lock (Auto-Lock)
The drill spindle, and therefore the tool holder (1), are
locked when the on/off switch (9) is not pressed.
This enables screws to be screwed in even when the battery
(6) is empty and allows the power tool to be used as a
screwdriver.
Practical advice
Tips
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.
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.
Belt Hook (see figure D)
You can use the belt hook (13) to hang the power tool on a
belt, for example. You then have both hands free and the
power tool is always at hand.
Utility hook (see figure E)
You can use the utility hook (14) to attach the power tool to
a suitable suspension device.
