For Your Safety

Working safely with this ma-
chine is possible only when the
operating and safety information
are read completely and the in-
structions contained therein are
strictly followed. In addition, the
general safety notes in the enclosed booklet
must be observed.
Wear safety goggles.
For long hair, wear hair protection. Work only
with closely fitting clothes.
Before each use, check the machine and bat-
tery. If damage is detected, do not use the ma-
chine. Have repairs performed only by a qual-
ified technician. Never open the machine your-
self.
Before any work on the machine itself (e. g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
when transporting and storing, always set
the rotational direction switch to the centre
position. Otherwise danger of injury is given
when unintentionally actuating the On/Off
switch.
Convince yourself before using that the battery
is securely seated in the machine.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assist-
ance.
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 damage.
Operate the machine only with the auxiliary
handle 2.
When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.
Hold the machine tightly: When driving in
screws, high reaction moments can briefly oc-
cur.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Never allow children to use the machine.
Bosch is only able to ensure perfect operation
of the machine if the original accessories in-
tended for it are used.

Battery and Battery Charger

GSB: The machine is intended for screwing in
and loosening screws, for drilling in wood, metal,
ceramic and plastic and for impact drilling in brick,
concrete and stone.
GSR: The machine is intended for the screwing
in and loosening of screws as well as for drilling
in wood, metal, ceramic and plastic.
The auxiliary handle 2 provides additional safety,
as jolting reactions can occur during impact drill-
ing, drilling large diameters and screwdriving.
Mount the auxiliary handle 2 on the right or left of
the power tool, depending on the working mode,
using screw 5.
Battery Charging
A battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approximately 5 charging/discharging
cycles.
To remove the battery 6, press the unlocking but-
tons 7 and pull out the battery downwards. Do not
exert any force.
The battery is equipped with an NTC temperature
control which allows charging only within a tem-
perature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C.
A long battery service life is achieved in this man-
ner.
A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the batteries are used and
must be replaced.

The enclosed operating instructions for the
battery charger must be read carefully!
Do not open the battery, and protect it from im-
pact. Store in a dry and frost-free place.
Allow a heated battery to cool before charging.
Protect the battery from heat and fire: Danger
of explosion! Do not place the battery on radi-
ators or expose to strong sun rays for a longer
time; temperatures over 50 °C cause damage.
Do not dispose of the battery in household
waste or discard into fire or water.
