power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.

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.
Bosch Power Tools
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.
Operation
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.

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.
Switching On and Off

(5); or, if the switch is locked with the lock-on button (4),
briefly press the on/off switch (5) and then release it.
At low temperatures, the power tool will take a certain
amount of time to reach its full impact performance. You can
shorten this warm-up time by tapping the power tool's inser-
ted application tool on the ground once.

You can lock the chisel in 12 different positions, allowing
you to select the optimum working position for each task.

Insert the chisel into the tool holder and turn the chisel to the
required position.
