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
Only operate the rotational direction switch (1) when
u
the power tool is not in use.
The rotational direction switch (1) is used to change the ro-
tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
sible while the on/off switch (4) is being pressed.
Clockwise rotation: For drilling and driving in screws, set
the rotational direction switch (1) to "R".
Anticlockwise rotation: For loosening or unscrewing
screws and nuts, set the rotational direction switch (1) to
"L".
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, first slide the on/
off switch (4) towards the rear and then
press down the on/off switch (4).
To activate the lock-on function, slide the
on/off switch (4) towards the rear, press
down on the on/off switch (4) and then
slide it further towards the rear.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (4).
If the on/off switch (4) is locked, press the switch first and
then release it.
Adjusting the Speed
You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by
pressing in the on/off switch (4) to varying extents.
A light pressure on the on/off switch (4) results in a low rota-
tional speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an in-
crease in speed.
Preselecting the Speed
You can preselect the required speed using the speed
preselection thumbwheel (2), even during operation.

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.
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.
Bosch Power Tools
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
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
