Due to the way the system operates, the application tool
(13) will move around slightly in the tool holder (1); this has
no influence on the function/safety.
Some application tools (e.g. double bits) cannot be safely
secured in the tool holder.
Removing the application tool (see figures A – B)
Pull the locking sleeve (2) forward and remove the applica-
tion tool.
Operation
Method of Operation
The tool holder (1) (with the application tool) is driven by an
electric motor via a gear and impact mechanism.
The working procedure is divided into two phases:
Screwing in and tightening (impact mechanism in action).
The impact mechanism is activated as soon as the screwed
connection runs tight and load is therefore put on the motor.
The impact mechanism then converts the power of the mo-
tor to steady rotary impacts. When loosening screws or nuts,
the process is reversed.
Starting Operation
Inserting the battery
Use only original Bosch lithium-ion batteries with the
u
voltage stated on the type plate of your power tool.
Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire
hazard.
Set the rotational direction switch (7) to the middle position
to avoid unintentionally switching it on. Insert the charged
battery (4) into the handle until you feel it engage and it is
flush with the handle.
Set the rotational direction (see figure D)
The rotational direction switch (7) is used to change the ro-
tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
sible while the on/off switch (8) is being pressed.
Right rotation: To drive in screws and tighten nuts, press
the rotational direction switch (7) through to the left stop.
Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts,
press the rotational direction switch (7) through to the right
stop.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(8).
The LED lights up when the on/off switch (8) is lightly or fully
pressed, meaning that the work area is illuminated in poor
lighting conditions.
Guide values for maximum screw tightening torques
Figures given in Nm; calculated from the tensional cross-section; utilization of the yield point: 90% (with friction coefficient
µ = 0.12). As a control measure, always check the tightening torque with a torque wrench.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (8).
Adjusting the speed
You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by
pressing in the on/off switch (8) to varying extents.
A light pressure on the on/off switch (8) results in a low rota-
tional speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an in-
crease in speed.
Practical advice
Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the
u
tool is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
The torque depends on the impact duration. The maximum
achieved torque results from the sum of all individual
torques achieved through impact. Maximum torque is
achieved after an impact duration of 6–10 seconds. After
this duration, the tightening torque increases only minimally.
The impact duration is to be determined for each required
tightening torque. The tightening torque actually achieved
should always be checked with a torque wrench.
Screw applications with hard, spring-loaded or soft seats
When the achieved torques in an impact series are measured
during a test and transferred into a diagram, the result is the
curve of a torque characteristic. The height of the curve cor-
responds with the maximum reachable torque, and the
steepness indicates the duration in which this is achieved.
A torque gradient depends on the following factors:
– Strength properties of the screws/nuts
– Type of backing (washer, disc spring, seal)
– Strength properties of the material being screwed/bolted
together
– Lubrication conditions at the screw/bolt connection
The following application cases result accordingly:
– A hard seat is a metal-to-metal screw application which
uses washers. After a relatively short impact duration, the
maximum torque is reached (steep characteristic curve).
Unnecessary long impact duration only causes damage to
the machine.
– A spring-loaded seat is also a metal-to-metal screw ap-
plication but uses spring washers, disc springs, studs or
screws/nuts with conical seats. It is also called a spring-
loaded seat when extensions are used.
– A soft seat is a screw application of e.g. metal on wood or
a screw application that uses lead washers or fibre wash-
ers as backing.
For a spring-loaded seat as well as for a soft seat, the max-
imum tightening torque is lower than for a hard seat. Also, a
clearly longer impact duration is required.
