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
The rotational direction switch (2) is used to change the ro-
tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
sible while the on/off switch (3) is being pressed.
Right rotation: To drill and to drive in screws, press the ro-
tational direction switch (2) through to the left stop.
Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts,
press the rotational direction switch (2) through to the right
stop.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(3).
Press the lock-on button (4) to lock the on/off switch (3) in
this position.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (3);
or, if the switch is locked with the lock-on button (4), briefly
press the on/off switch (3) 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 (3) to varying extents.
A light pressure on the on/off switch (3) results in a low rota-
tional speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an in-
crease in speed.

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.
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.
Bosch Power Tools
The machine vice, which is available as an accessory, en-
ables the workpiece to be securely clamped. This prevents
the workpiece from turning and any accidents this could
cause.
