Tips
After longer periods of working at low speed, al-
low the machine to cool down by running it for
approx. 3 minutes at maximum speed with no
load.
For drilling in metal, use only perfectly sharp-
ened HSS drill bits (HSS=high-speed steel). The
appropriate quality is guaranteed by the Bosch
accessories program.
Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard
materials, it is advisable to predrill a pilot hole
with the core diameter of the thread to approx.
2
/ of the screw length.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine (e. g., main-
tenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, set the rotational di-
rection switch to the centre position. Unin-
tentional actuation of the On/Off switch can
lead to injuries.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an after-sales service
centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order,
please always include the 10-digit article number
given on the type plate of the machine.
Replacing the Carbon Brushes (see figure F)
When the carbon brushes are worn, the power
tool switches off automatically. For replacement
of the carbon brushes, unscrew the screws of the
cover lids 15 and remove the cover lids 15. Insert
a screwdriver or similar into the notch of the
brush holder 16 and and carefully pry it out. Re-
move the used carbon brushes and replace them.
The new carbon brushes can also be inserted
when turned by 180°. Lightly press the inserted
carbon brushes downward until they can be
clearly heard to engage. Afterwards mount the
cover lids 15 again.
