Safety Notes
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
Work area safety
fKeepworkareacleanandwelllit. Cluttered or darkareas
invite accidents.
fDo not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
fKeep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
fPower tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
fAvoidbodycontactwithearthedorgroundedsurfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
fDo not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Waterenteringapowertoolwillincreasetherisk of electric
shock.
fDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
fWhen operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
fIf operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
fStay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while op-
erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
fUse personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal inju-
ries.
fPrevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Car-
rying power tools with your finger onthe switch or energis-
ing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
fRemove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-
tating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
fDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
fDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
fIf devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
fDo not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
fDo not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
fDisconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
fStore idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
fMaintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
fKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharpcutting edges are less likely tobind
and are easier to control.
fUse the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
fRecharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another bat-
tery pack.

Bosch Power Tools 1 619 X06 940 | (22.8.11)
fUse power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
fWhen battery pack is not in use, keep it away from oth-
er metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
fUnder abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
Service
fHave your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Drills and Screwdriver
fHold 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.
fUse auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
fUse appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to
fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to ex-
plosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage.
fSwitch 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.
fHold the machine with a firm grip. High reaction torque
can briefly occur while driving in and loosening screws.
fSecure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
fAlways 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.
fDo 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.
fIn 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.
fUse the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch
power tool. This measure alone protects the battery
against dangerous overload.
fUse 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.

Assembly
Battery Charging (see figure A)
fUse only the battery chargers listed on the accessories
page. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lith-
ium ion battery of your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off
switch after the machine has been au-
tomatically switched off. The battery can be damaged.
To remove the battery 6, press the battery unlocking button
11 and pull the battery out of the power tool toward the rear.
Do not exert any force.
For charging, the battery 6can also remain in the power tool.
During the charging procedure, the power tool cannot be
switched on.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature control
which allows charging only within a temperature range of be-
tween 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery service life is achieved
in this manner.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Changing the Tool (see figure B)
fBefore any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
The drill spindle is locked when the On/Off switch 9is not
pressed. This makes quick, convenient and easy changing of
the tool in the drill chuck possible.
Open the keyless chuck 2by turning in rotation direction n,
until the tool can be inserted. Insert the tool.
Firmly tighten the collar of the keyless chuck 2by hand in ro-
tation direction o. This automatically locks the drill chuck.
The locking is released again to remove the tool when the col-
lar is turned in the opposite direction.
Replacing the Drill Chuck (see figures C–E)
fBefore any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
Removing the Securing Screw (see figure C)
The keyless chuck 2is secured with a securing screw 13
against unintentional loosening from the drill spindle. Com-
pletely open the keyless chuck 2and unscrew the securing
screw 13 in rotation direction n. Please note that the se-
curing screw has a left-hand thread.
If the securing screw 13 is seated tightly,apply a screwdriver
to the screw head and loosen the securing screw by giving a
blow onto the handle of the screwdriver.
Removing the Drill Chuck (see figure D)
Clamp the short end of an Allen key 14 into the keyless chuck
2.
Place the machine on a stable surface (e. g. a workbench).
Hold the machine firmly and loosen the keyless chuck 2by
turning the Allen key 14 in rotation direction n. Loosen a
tight-seated keyless chuck by giving the long end of the Allen
key 14 a light blow. Remove the Allen key from the keyless
chuck and completely unscrew the keyless chuck.
Mounting the Drill Chuck (see figure E)
The keyless chuck is mounted in reverse order.
Thedrillchuckmustbetightenedwith a tightening
torque of approx. 7–9 Nm.
Screw the securing screw 13 in anti-clockwise direction into
the opened keyless chuck. Always use a new securing screw,
as the threads are covered with a thread-locking compound
that loses its effect after multiple usage.
Dust/Chip Extraction
fDusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos 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.
fPrevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Operation
Starting Operation
Inserting the Battery
fUse only original Bosch lithium ion batteries with the
voltage listed on the nameplate of your power tool. Us-
ing other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire haz-
ard.
Set the rotational direction switch 8to the centre position in
order to avoid unintentional starting. Insert the charged bat-
tery 6into the handle so that it can be felt to engage and faces

Reversing the Rotational Direction (see figure F)
The rotational direction switch 8is used to reverse the rota-
tional direction of the machine. However, this is not possible
with the On/Off switch 9actuated.
Right Rotation: For drilling and driving in screws, push the
rotational direction switch 8left to the stop.
The indicator for right rotation 4lights up when the
On/Off switch 9is actuated and the motor is running.
Left Rotation: For loosening or unscrewing screws, push the
rotational direction switch 8right to the stop.
The indicator for left rotation 5lights up when the
On/Off switch 9is actuated and the motor is running.
Setting the Torque
The required torque can be preselected in 15 steps with the
torque preselection ring 3. With the correct setting, the insert
tool is stopped as soon as the screw is screwed flush into the
material or when the set torque is reached.
Select a higher setting when driving out screws, or set to the
symbol “Drilling”.
Drilling
The safety clutch is deactivated in the “Drilling” position.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 9and keep it
pressed.
The power light 7lightsup when the On/Off switch 9is slightly
or completely pressed, and allows the work area to be illumi-
nated when lighting conditions are insufficient.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 9.
Adjusting the Speed
The speed of the switched on power tool can be variably ad-
justed, depending on how far the On/Off switch 9is pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 9results in a low rotation-
al speed. Further pressure on the switch results in an increase
in speed.
Fully automatic spindle locking (Auto-lock)
When the On/Off switch 9is not pressed,the drill spindle and
thus the tool holder are locked.
This enables screws to be screwed in, even when the battery
is empty and allows for the machine to be used as a screwdriv-
er.
Run-on Brake
When the On/Off switch 9is released, the chuck brakes to a
stop, thus preventing the run-on of the tool.
When driving in screws, wait until the screw is screwed in
flush with the material and then release the On/Off switch 9.
Bydoingso,theheadofthescrewdoesnotpenetrateintothe
material.
Temperature Dependent Overload Protection
When using as intended for, the power tool cannot be subject
to overload. When the load is toohigh or the allowable battery
temperature of 70 °C is exceeded, the electronic control
switches off the power tool until the temperature is in the op-
timum temperature range again.
Protection Against Deep Discharging
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Working Advice
fApply the power tool to the screw only when it is
switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
After longer periods of working at low speed, allow the ma-
chine to cool down by running it for approx. 3 minutes at max-
imum speed with no load.
For drilling in metal, use only perfectly sharpened HSS drill
bits (HSS=high-speed steel). The appropriate quality is guar-
anteed by the Bosch accessories program.
Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard materials, it is
advisable to predrill a pilot hole with the core diameter of the
thread to approx. 2/3of the screw length.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
fBefore any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
