Safety Warnings for Drills and
Screwdriver
GSB 14,4-2-LI/GSB 18-2-LI
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
GSR 14,4-2-LI/GSR 18-2-LI/GSB 14,4-2-LI/
GSB 18-2-LI
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
or fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accesso-
ry and fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility compa-
ny for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage.
Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool in-
sert jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque that
can cause kickback. The tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Hold the machine with a firm grip. High reaction torque
can briefly occur while driving in and loosening screws.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
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.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and
moisture. Danger of explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irri-
tate the respiratory system.
Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch
power tool. This measure alone protects the battery
against dangerous overload.
Use only original Bosch batteries with the voltage list-
ed on the nameplate of your power tool. When using oth-
er batteries, e. g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or
other brands, there is danger of injury as well as property
damage through exploding batteries.
Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
Bosch Power Tools
one's health and cause allergic reactions, lead to respi-
ratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing as-
bestos 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
materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
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.
The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full
battery capacity, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using for the first time.
Read the operating instructions of the battery charger.
Apply the power tool to the screw only when it is
switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
Adjust the gear switch only when the machine is at a
complete stop.
If the gear switch cannot be pushed to the stop, turn
the drill chuck a little.
