If the gear selector 4 cannot be pushed through to the stop,
lightly turn the drill chuck with drill bit.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 5 and keep it
pressed.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 5.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Setting the Speed/Impact Rate
The speed/impact rate of the switched on power tool can be
variably adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch 5
is pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 5 results in low speed/im-
pact rate. Further pressure on the switch increases the
speed/impact rate.
Rapid Shut-off
The rapid shut-off feature enables better control of the power
tool. The power tool shuts off in case of sudden and unexpect-
ed rotation of the power tool around the drilling axis.
The rapid shut-off feature is indicated by a flashing LED on the
power tool.
 Rapid shut-off can trigger only when the power tool is
running at maximum operating speed and can rotate
freely around the drill bit axis. Choose a suitable work
position for this. Otherwise, rapid shut-off will not be en-
sured.
To restart the machine, release the On/Off switch and then
actuate again.
Fully automatic spindle locking (Auto-lock)
When the On/Off switch 5 is not pressed, the drill spindle and
thus the tool holder are locked.
This enables screws to be screwed in, even when the battery
is empty and allows for the machine to be used as a screwdriv-
er.
Run-on Brake
When the On/Off switch 5 is released, the chuck brakes to a
stop, thus preventing the run-on of the tool.
When driving in screws, wait until the screw is screwed in
flush with the material and then release the On/Off switch 5.
By doing so, the head of the screw does not penetrate into the
material.
Temperature Dependent Overload Protection
When using as intended for, the power tool cannot be subject
to overload. When the load is too high or the allowable battery
temperature is exceeded, the electronic control switches off
the power tool until the temperature is in the optimum tem-
perature range again.

Working Advice

 Apply the power tool to the screw only when it is
switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
When the power tool is electrostatically charged, the built-in
electronic control switches it off. To restart the power tool,
press the On/Off switch 5 again.
Bosch Power Tools
Under certain conditions, strong electromagnetic fields can
negatively affect or stop the power tool. After switching the
power tool off, press the On/Off switch 5 again to start the
power tool again.
Tips
The ergonomically shaped handle enables dynamic and fa-
tigue-free handling of the power tool (see figure D).
After longer periods of working at low speed, allow the ma-
chine to cool down by running it for approx. 3 minutes at max-
imum speed with no load.
For drilling in metal, use only perfectly sharpened HSS drill
bits (HSS=high-speed steel). The appropriate quality is guar-
anteed by the Bosch accessories program.
Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard materials, it is
advisable to predrill a pilot hole with the core diameter of the
2
thread to approx. / of the screw length.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature range between
–20 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the battery in
the car in summer.
Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a soft,
clean and dry brush.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

 Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
 For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
When the battery is no longer operative, please refer to an au-
thorised after-sales service agent for Bosch power tools.
