Read and strictly observe the safety warnings in the oper-
ating instructions of the cordless drill/driver.

Hammer Safety Warnings

 Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hear-
ing loss.
 Use the auxiliary handle provided with the GHA FC2
hammer adapter. Loss of control can cause personal in-
jury.
 Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
 Wear protective gloves. The hammer adapter may be-
come hot when operated for extended periods of time.
 Before any work on the machine (e. g., maintenance,
tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and stor-
age, set the rotational direction switch to the centre
position. Unintentional actuation of the On/Off switch can
lead to injuries.
 Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age.
 When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
 Inserting SDS-plus Drilling Tools: Check the latching by
pulling the tool.
 Replace a damaged dust protection cap immediately.
The dust protection cap largely prevents the penetration of
drilling dust into the tool holder during operation. When in-
serting the tool, pay attention that the dust protection cap
is not damaged.
 Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health and cause allergic reactions, lead to res-
piratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
– 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
materials to be worked.
Bosch Power Tools
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
 To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using
it.
 If the application tool should become blocked, switch
the machine off. Loosen the application tool.
 When switching on with a blocked drilling tool, high
torque reaction can occur.
 To make it easier to dismount the hammer adapter
from the power tool, run the application tool 2 to 3
turns in left rotation (see figure 9, page 132).
 Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
 Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the On/Off
switch is in the off position before inserting battery
pack. Carrying the power tool with your finger on the
On/Off switch or inserting the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
