Screwdriving tools
You should always use a universal bit holder (24) when using
screwdriver bits (25). Only use screwdriver bits that fit the
screw head.
For screwdriving, make sure the "drilling/impact drilling" se-
lector switch (4) is always set to the "drilling" symbol.
Changing the drill chuck
If your power tool does not have a drill spindle locking mech-
anism, you must have the drill chuck changed by an author-
ised after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.
The drill chuck must be tightened using a tight-
ening torque of approx. 30–35 Nm.
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 figure K)
The rotational direction switch (5) is used to change the ro-
tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
sible while the on/off switch (7) is being pressed.
Right rotation: To drill and to drive in screws, press the ro-
tational direction switch (5) through to the left stop.
Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts,
press the rotational direction switch (5) 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 ac-
tuated when the motor is running.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(7).
Press the lock-on button (6) to lock the on/off switch (7) in
this position.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (7);
or, if the switch is locked with the lock-on button (6), briefly
press the on/off switch (7) and then release it.
Bosch Power Tools
Adjusting the Speed/Impact Rate
You can adjust the speed/impact rate of the power tool when
it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (7) to varying ex-
tents.
Applying light pressure to the on/off switch (7) results in a
low rotational speed/impact rate. Applying increasing pres-
sure to the switch increases the speed/impact rate.

Working 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.
Removing the Dust Collection Device (see figures L–M)
It is a good idea to remove the dust collection device (13):
– In order to use the rail of the Drill Assistant (10) as a
depth stop
– When using large application tools (e.g. holesaw or twist
drill bit)
