Maintenance And Service - Bosch GSB 10 Professional Notice Originale

Fitting the Drill Chuck (see figure F)
To assemble the keyless chuck, perform the same steps in
reverse order.
The drill chuck must be tightened using a tight-
ening torque of approx. 30–35 Nm.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one's
health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci-
nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment ad-
ditives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the ma-
terials to be worked.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Operation
Starting Operation
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Setting the Rotational Direction (see figures G–H)
(GSB 10 RE/GSB 13 RE/GSB 16 RE)
The rotational direction switch (8) is used to change the ro-
tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
sible while the on/off switch (6) is being pressed.
Right rotation: To drill and to drive in screws, press the ro-
tational direction switch (8) through to the left stop.
Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts,
press the rotational direction switch (8) through to the right
stop.
Setting the Operating Mode
Drilling and screwdriving
Set the selector switch (4) to the "drilling"
symbol.
Impact drilling
Set the selector switch (4) to the "impact
drilling" symbol.
The selector switch (4) clicks into place and
can also be actuated when the motor is running.
Bosch Power Tools
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(6).
Press the lock-on button (5) to lock the on/off switch (6) in
this position.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (6);
or, if the switch is locked with the lock-on button (5), briefly
press the on/off switch (6) and then release it.
Setting the Speed/Impact Rate (GSB 10 RE/GSB 13 RE/
GSB 16 RE)
You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by
pressing in the on/off switch (6) to varying extents.
A light pressure on the on/off switch (6) results in a low rota-
tional speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an in-
crease in speed.
Preselecting the Speed/Impact Rate (GSB 16 RE)
You can preselect the required speed/impact rate using the
speed preselection thumbwheel (7), even during operation.
The required speed/impact rate is dependent on the mater-
ial and the work conditions and can be determined by prac-
tical trials.
Practical Advice
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the
u
tool is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
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.
To drill into tiles, set the selector switch (4) to the "drilling"
symbol. After drilling through the tile, set the selector switch
to the "impact drilling" symbol and drill with impact.
Use carbide drill bits when working with concrete, stone and
masonry.
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.
Using the drill bit sharpener (accessory), you can effortlessly
sharpen twist drill bits with a diameter of 2.5–10 mm.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
