Yes, always use the auxiliary handle supplied with the machine. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.

Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool insert jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque that can cause kickback. The tool insert jams when the power tool is subject to overload or it becomes wedged in the workpiece.

Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own power cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.

When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.

Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

No, do not work materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.

Take protective measures when dust can develop during working that is harmful to one’s health, combustible or explosive. Example: Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip extraction when connectable.

Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.

Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.

Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.

Yes, wear hearing protection! The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A).

Operate your machine only with the auxiliary handle 11.

The auxiliary handle 11 can be set to any position for a secure and low-fatigue working posture.

Turn the wing bolt for adjustment of the auxiliary handle 10 in an anticlockwise direction and set the auxiliary handle 11 to the required position. Then tighten the wing bolt 10 again in a clockwise direction.

The required drilling depth X can be set with the depth stop 12.

1. Loosen the wing bolt for the depth stop adjustment 9 and insert the depth stop rod into the auxiliary handle 11.

2. The knurled surface of the depth stop 12 must face upward.

3. Pull out the depth stop until the distance between the tip of the drill bit and the tip of the depth stop corresponds with the desired drilling depth X.

4. Retighten the wing bolt for the depth stop adjustment 9 again.

Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.

Wear protective gloves when changing the tool. The drill chuck can become very hot during longer work periods.

4. Remove the Allen key from the keyless chuck and completely unscrew the keyless chuck.

The keyless chuck/key type drill chuck is mounted in reverse order of dismounting. The drill chuck must be tightened with a tightening torque of approx. 15 Nm.

Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must agree with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

The rotational direction switch 7 is used to reverse the rotational direction of the machine. However, this is not possible with the On/Off switch 6 actuated.

Right rotation: Press the rotational direction switch 7 through to the right stop (for drilling and driving screws).

Left rotation: Press the rotational direction switch 7 through to the left stop (for loosening and unscrewing screws and nuts).

The gear selector 8 can be actuated at standstill or when the machine is running. However, this should not be done while operating at full load or maximum speed.

Two speed ranges can be preselected with the gear selector 8.

Gear I provides a low speed range, suitable for working with large drilling diameter or for driving in screws.

Gear II provides a high speed range, suitable for working with small drilling diameter.

If the gear selector 8 cannot be fully engaged, lightly rotate the drive spindle with the drill bit by twisting the drill chuck.

The required speed can be preselected with the thumbwheel 5. This can also be done while the machine is running.

The required speed depends on the material to be worked and the diameter of the tool. Determine the optimum setting through practical testing.

To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 6 and keep it depressed.

To lock the pressed On/Off switch 6, press the lock-on button 4.

To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 6 or when it is locked with the lock-on button 4, briefly press the On/Off switch 6 and then release it.

The speed of the switched-on power tool can be variably adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch 6 is pressed.

Light pressure on the On/Off switch 6 results in a low rotational speed. Further pressure on the switch results in an increase in speed.

With the “drilling/screwdriving” selector switch 20, it is possible to select between a permanent and a pressure-dependent connection between the drive and the drill spindle.

Drilling: Set the selector switch 20 to the “drilling” symbol (drill bit symbol).

Screwdriving: Set the selector switch 20 to the “screwdriving” symbol (screw symbol).

In drilling mode, the drill spindle is permanently connected to the drive. This setting is suitable for drilling as well as for individual screwdriving without screwing-depth stop 21.

In screwdriving mode, the drill spindle is not engaged until feed pressure is applied. This setting is suitable for serial screwdriving with constant screw-in depth in connection with the depth stop 12 as well as for individual screwdriving without depth stop 12. The screwing procedure begins when the applied pressure is high enough.

The selector switch 20 can be felt to engage and can also be actuated when the machine is running.

If the selector switch 20 cannot be pushed through to the stop, lightly rotate the drill spindle with the tool bit.

1. Remove the drill chuck together with the quick-change adapter 19.

2. Insert a screwdriver bit 15.

3. Slide on the screwing-depth stop 21 to the stop.

Turning the adjustment sleeve 22 in a clockwise direction results in a greater screw-in depth; turning in an anticlockwise direction reduces the screw-in depth.

The required setting is best determined by testing.

Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only when it is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.

For drilling in metal, use only perfectly sharpened HSS drill bits (HSS=high-speed steel). The appropriate quality is guaranteed by the Bosch accessories program. Twist drills from 2.5–10 mm can easily be sharpened with the drill bit sharpener (see accessories).

With the belt clip 23, the machine can be hung onto a belt. The user has both hands free and the machine is always at hand.

Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.

For safe and proper working, always keep the machine and ventilation slots clean.

If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.

In all correspondence and spare parts order, please always include the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of the machine.
