Working Advice

Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only
when it is switched off. Rotating tool inserts
can slip off.
After longer periods of working at low speed, al-
low the machine to cool down by running it for
approx. 3 minutes at maximum speed with no
load.
For drilling in tiles, set the selector switch 2 to
the "Drilling" symbol. Do not switch over to the
symbol "Impact Drilling" or work with impact
until after drilling through the tile.
Use carbide tipped drill bits when working in
concrete, masonry and brick wall.
For drilling in metal, use only perfectly sharp-
ened 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 ac-
cessories).
We recommend the use of a drill stand (see ac-
cessories) for work where greater precision is
particularly required.
The machine vice, which is available as an acces-
sory, enables secure clamping of workpieces.
This prevents the workpiece from turning and
any accidents this would cause.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

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.
