• Hardness of the material to be joined.
• Lubricating effect at the surfaces of the
junction.
This leads to the following application cases:
Hard case: The joining of metal to metal with a
disk washer. The maximum torque is reached
after a relative short impacting/tightening
action.
Medium case: The joining of metal to metal
where spring ring washer, disk spring washer,
stud bolts or bolts/nuts with conical seats are
used.
Set Forward/Reversing lever to the center (off
position). Slide charged battery pack into the
housing until the battery pack locks into
position (Fig. 6)
Your tool is equipped with a secondary locking
latch to prevent the battery pack from
completely falling out of the handle, should it
become loose due to vibration.
To remove the battery pack, press the battery
pack release button and slide the battery pack
forward.
1. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery temperature
is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). If the
battery pack is too hot or too cold, the charger
will not fast charge the battery. (This may
happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy
use). When the battery temperature returns to
between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C), the
charger will automatically begin charging.
2. A substantial drop in operating time per
charge may mean that the battery pack is
nearing the end of its life and should be
replaced.
3. Remember to unplug charger during storage
period.
4. If battery does not charge properly:

Soft case: The joining of e.g. metal to wood
or insulation material.
For middle or soft joining cases, the maximum
tightening torque is less as for hard cases.
Therefore, a longer impacting/tightening action
is necessary to arrive at the maximum tightening
torque.
COLD WEATHER USE (32°F)
Due to the lubrication used in the impacting
mechanism, the tool should be run for three
minutes at no load prior to actual usage. This
will warm the lubricant and provide better
performance.
Press the battery pack release button again
and slide the battery pack completely out of
tool housing (Fig. 6).

a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in
some other electrical device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a
light switch which turns power "off" when lights
are turned off.
c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt.
Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if
necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging,
take or send tool, battery pack and charger to
your local Bosch Service Center. See "Tools,
Electric" in the Yellow Pages for names and
addresses.
Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not
sold by Bosch will void the warranty.
