Hammerdrill, nonrot - Bosch 11316EVS
Operating Information
IMPORTANT: Electric tools may use any number of symbols to designate electrical specifications. Proper interpretation of
these symbols will allow you to operate the tool better and safer. Please study these symbols on the following link and
learn their meaning: Electric Tool Symbols
SLIDE "ON-OFF" SWITCH
The tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch 9 located in the rear handle. TO TURN THE TOOL "ON" slide the switch to the
right. TO TURN THE TOOL"OFF " slide the switch to the left.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed dial. The impact rate (BPM) and rotating speed (RPM) can be varied according
to the type of work being performed by setting the variable speed dial to the selected setting. The chart below will help
you to determine which setting to use for your application. However, a pre-test will determine the best speed setting, as
the chart is intended only as a guide. Once the proper setting is determined the impact rate and rotating speed is kept
constant by means of the "Electronic Feedback Circuitry". The variable speed dial can be adjusted while the motor is
running with the tool free from work, allowing the operator to adjust the impact rate and rotating speed according to the
actual application.
Chipping (Demolition)

ELECTRONIC FEEDBACK CIRCUITRY (EFC)
The internal electronic feedback system provides a "soft start", which will reduce the stresses that occur from a high
torque start. The system also helps to keep the preselected impact rate and rotating speed virtually constant between no-
load and load conditions.
INSTALLING ACCESSORIES
Clean the insert shank end of the accessory to remove any debris, then lightly grease with a light oil or lubricant. Insert
accessory into the tool holder through the dust shield, while twisting and pushing inward until it locks automatically into
place. Pull outward on the accessory to be certain it is locked into the tool holder (fig. 2). NOTE: The high efficiency
available from the rotary hammers can only be obtained if sharp and undamaged accessories are used. The "cost" to
maintain sharp and undamaged accessories is more than offset by the "time saved" in operating the tool with sharp
accessories.
REMOVING ACCESSORIES
Warning: Accessories may be hot after use. Avoid contact with skin and use proper protective gloves or cloth to
remove. To remove an accessory, pull and hold locking sleeve backward and pull bit forward. All accessories should
be wiped clean after removing.
"VARIO-LOCK"- SELECTOR RING
The vario-lock selector ring can be set in any one of twelve (30 degree increments) positions. Choose a position which is
best suited for your operation. To adjust, pull the selector ring forward and hold firmly, then turn both the accessory and
the selector ring to the desired position. Release the selector ring and turn the accessory slightly until it locks in place.

AUXILIARY HANDLE
The tool must be supported with the auxiliary handle , which can be swiveled 360 degrees . To reposition and/or swivel the
handle, loosen the hand grip, move the handle to the desired position along the barrel and securely retighten the hand
grip.
"TOOL TIPS"
For the best penetration rates in concrete, run the tool with a steady pressure, but do not use excessive force as this will
decrease the efficiency of the tool. All grease packed hammers require a short period of time to warm up. Depending on
the room temperature, this time may vary from approximately 15 seconds (90 F) to 2 minutes (32 F). A new hammer
requires a break-in period before full performance is realized. This period may require up to 5 hours of operation. An
electric hammer is likely to be the most expensive portable tool at the construction job. The long wear and efficient
operation of the BOSCH hammers will more than justify the cost for tools of this type. As earlier pointed out, sharp
accessories as well as clean air vents are necessary for efficient operation. Establish and follow a set maintenance
program.
