User Interface
STATUS INDICATOR LED
The LED bar at the top of the user interface illuminates
in various colors to help the user identify the status of
the tool. When the status indicator LED (20) is green
the tool and battery pack are operating normally and
temperatures are ok. If the indicator changes to yellow it
means that the tool or battery temperatures have risen
to a critical level. It is best to back off the load and give
the tool a chance to cool down. If the indicator turns red
the tool will shut off to protect itself and/or the battery
pack from an overheating situation.
The status indicator LED (20) will also blink blue when
the leveling function (18) or KickBack Control (22)
buttons are held for 7 seconds. This will reset the tool
settings to factory default.
KICKBACK CONTROL (RAPID SHUT-OFF)
To ensure better control of the tool during
operation, this tool is design to shut-off while
in use if a sudden or unexpected bind up
situation occurs. Bind up occurs when the bit gets
jammed during operation, which forces the bit to stop
spinning abruptly. If this occurs, the tool will shut down
and the KickBack Control will be indicated by flashing
LED lights on the tool.
KickBack Control can be turned off by the user. Button
(22) on the user interface (14) will toggle the feature
on and off. Status is indicated with "On" and "Off" LEDS
(21) on the User Interface (14). If the power tool is
not used for longer than 5 minutes, or if the battery is
removed, KickBack Control automatically turns back on.
Please note that the indicator light may not be visible
from all directions or in bright sunlight.
When the switch trigger is pressed, operator is notified
about the KickBack Control.
LEVELING FUNCTION
With the leveling function, a slope angle can be
preselected for power tool detection and indication
during work. This means it is possible to drill or
screw perpendicular to sloped surfaces, for example.
The leveling function is con-trolled via the user
interface (14).
Operating Instructions

(18)
Select an angle (45°, 60°, user-defined) on the user
interface (14). Note: The default user-defined angle is
90°. This angle can be adjusted via the Bosch Toolbox
app using connectivity
module GCY42 (sold separately). To adjust the
angle, press the button for the leveling function (18)
repeatedly until the LED of the required slope
angle (19) starts flashing.
In addition to the LED of the required slope angle
(19), the LED of the leveling function (8) also starts
to flash yellow. Now position the power tool on the
reference surface and hold it as still as possible. Note:
If the power tool is not held still during the initiating
process, the initiating process will automatically end
after 10 seconds and the last set value is restored.
The power tool will start the initiating process once it
is positioned. The reference surface is set as o° during
the initiating process. The initiating process is complete
when the LED of the leveling function (8) lights up green
for approximately 1 second and then goes out, and the
LED of the slope angle (19) lights up continuously.
Remove the power tool from the surface. Align the
power tool with the reference surface at the required
slope angle. The LED (20) lights up yellow if the tool
angle lies in the range +/-10° from the preset slope
angle.
If a tool angle is within +/-3° of the preset slope
angle, the LED (8) lights up green. To end the
leveling function, press the button for the leveling
function (18) repeatedly until none of the LEDs for
angle selection (19) are lit up (45° → 60° → User-defined
→ Off). The set angle and reference surface are saved
even when changing the battery or when waking up the
power tool from sleep mode.
