Flashing Charge the battery:
You can only drive in six to eight more
light + sound
screws.
Continuous There is not enough capacity left to drive in
another screw or the power tool has over-
light
loaded:
The power tool can no longer be switched
on.
– Remove the battery and replace it with a

light
– Wait a short while for the light to stop
flashing before switching the power tool
on again.
Operating and storage conditions
The power tool is suitable only for operation at enclosed
work sites.
To ensure smooth operation, the permitted ambient temper-
ature should be between 0 °C and +45 °C, at a permitted rel-
ative humidity of between 20 and 95%, free of condensa-
tion.
Suspension device (see figure B)
You can use the hanging hook (11) to attach the power tool
to a suspension device.
– Place the hanging hook (11) on the power tool and click it
into the slots (12).
Regularly check the condition of the hanging hook and
u
the catch in the suspension device.
Configuring the power tool
You can configure various settings on the power tool (e.g. ro-
tational speed, screwing stage, repeat protection) using
BOSCH EXACT Configurator software. The power tool must
be connected to a PC via its USB port in order to do this.
Note: Follow all the safety instructions and information in
the software manual.
Changing the tool (see figure C)
When fitting an application tool, make sure that it is
u
held securely in the tool holder. If the application tool is
not held securely in the tool holder, it may become loose
and consequently uncontrollable.
Inserting the application tool
Only use application tools with the matching shank (1/4"
hexagon).
– Pull the sleeve of the quick-change chuck (2) forwards.
Bosch Power Tools
– Place the application tool (13) into the tool holder (1)
and release the quick-change chuck again.
Removing the application tool
– Pull the sleeve of the quick-change chuck (2) forwards.
– Take the application tool (13) out of the tool holder (1)
and release the quick-change chuck again.
Operation

Starting Operation

Always set the rotational direction using the rotational direc-
tion switch (6) before starting the power tool:
The power tool will not start if the rotational direction switch
(6) is in the centre (lock-off button).
Setting the rotational direction (see figure D)
– Clockwise: To drive in screws, press the rotational direc-
tion switch (6) through as far as possible to the left.
– Anti-clockwise: To loosen or unscrew screws, press the
rotational direction switch (6) through as far as possible
to the right.
Switching on the worklight
The worklight (3) illuminates the work area in poor lighting
conditions. Switch on the worklight (3) by lightly pressing
the on/off switch (5). If you press down harder on the on/off
switch, the power tool will switch on and the worklight will
remain illuminated.
Do not look directly into the worklight; it can blind
u
you.
Switching on/off
The screwdrivers have a torque-dependent
shut-off clutch that can be set to a value in the
specified range. The clutch is triggered when
the set torque is reached.
– To switch on the power tool, press the on/off switch (5)
down fully.
– The power tool will switch off automatically when the
set torque is reached.
If the on/off switch (5) is released too early, the pre-
u
set torque will not be reached.

Practical advice

Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the
u
tool is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
Setting the torque (see figure E)
The torque depends on the spring preload of the shut-off
clutch. The shut-off clutch is triggered upon reaching the set
torque, both in clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation.
Only use the supplied adjustment tool (14) to set the indi-
vidual torque.
– Slide the slider (4) on the power tool back completely.
– Place the application tool (14) into the tool holder (1)
and turn it slowly.
