Working safely with this machine is
possible only when the operating
and safety information are read
completely and the instructions
contained therein are strictly fol-
lowed.
In addition, the general safety
notes in the enclosed booklet must
be observed.
Before using for the first time, ask
for a practical demonstration.
Wear ear protection to prevent damage
to your hearing.
Wear safety glasses.
For long hair, wear hair protection.
Work only with close-fitting clothes.
■
If the cable is damaged or cut through while work-
ing, do not touch the cable but immediately pull the
mains plug. Never use the machine with a dam-
aged cable.
■
Connect machines that are used in the open via a
residual current device (RCD) with an actuating
current of 30 mA maximum. Do not operate the
machine in rain or moisture.
■
Always direct the cable to the rear away from the
machine.

■
Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility
lines or call the local utility company for as-
sistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to
fire or electrical shock. Damaging a gas line can re-
sult in an explosion. Penetrating a water pipe will
cause property damage or an electrical shock.
■
Operate the machine only with the auxiliary handle
9 .
■
Place the machine on the nut/screw only when
switched off.
■
Be careful when screwing in long screws; danger
of sliding off.
■
When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.
■
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more se-
cure than by hand.
■
Always switch the machine off and wait until it has
come to a standstill before placing it down.
■
Never allow children to use the machine.
■
Bosch is able to ensure flawless functioning of the
machine only if the original accessories intended
for it are used.
Take care that the dust protection cap 2 is not
damaged when changing tools.
SDS-Plus Tools
The SDS-plus tool is designed to be freely movable.
This causes eccentricity when the machine is off-load.
However, the drill automatically centres itself during
operation. This does not affect drilling precision.
Inserting (Fig. )
Clean and lightly oil the tool before inserting.
Insert the dust-free tool into the tool holder 1 with
twisting until it latches.
The tool locks itself. Check the locking by pulling on
the tool.
Removing (Fig. )
Pull the locking sleeve 3 to the rear (a) and hold while
removing the tool (b) .
Tools without SDS-plus
Do not use tools without SDS-plus for hammer
drilling or chiselling!
To work with tools without SDS-plus (e.g., drills with
cylindrical shafts), a drill chuck 11 with a SDS-plus
chuck shaft 12 (optional accessory) must be inserted
into the tool holder (Fig. ).
Insert the dust-free, assembled chuck into the tool
holder 1 with twisting until it latches (Fig. ).
The chuck locks itself. Check the locking by pulling on
the chuck.
Srewdriver Bits (Fig. )
For screwdriver bits, use the SDS-plus adapter 13 (op-
tional accessory).
System Accessories
Refer to the Bosch Catalogue for insertion tools.
Ensure that the mains voltage is correct!
The voltage of the power source must agree with the
value given on the nameplate of the machine. Ma-
chines designated for 230 V can also be operated with
220 V.
Switching On/Off
To switch on the machine, press the on/off switch 5 .
Lock the depressed on/off switch 5 by pressing the
lock-on button 4 .
To switch off the machine, release the on/off switch
5 or push and then release it.
Auxiliary Handle (Fig. )
■
Operate the machine only with the auxiliary handle
9 .
By rotating the auxiliary handle 9 to a comfortable po-
sition, a fatigue-free and therefore safe working posi-
tion can be achieved.
Loosen the auxiliary handle 9 by turning counter clock-
wise and swing it to the desired position. Then retight-
en the auxiliary handle 9 by turning in the clockwise di-
rection.
Overload Clutch
If the drill bit becomes jammed or caught, the drive to
the drill spindle is interrupted. Because of the forces
that occur as a result, always hold the machine se-
curely with both hands and take a firm stance.

Setting the Drilling Depth (Fig. )
With the depth stop 10, the maximum drilling depth t
can be set.
Press the button 8of the auxiliary handle and insert the
depth stop into the auxiliary handle 9so that the
grooved side of the depth stop points downward.
Insert the SDS-plus tool to the stop into the tool
holder 1. Otherwise, the freedom of motion of the
SDS tool can lead to an incorrect setting of the drilling
depth.
Pull out the depth stop so far that the distance be-
tween the drill tip and the tip of the depth stop corre-
sponds to the desired drilling depth t.
Dust Vacuuming/Vacuuming Attachment
■Dust produced while working can be detrimental to
health, inflammable or explosive. Suitable protec-
tion measures are required.
Examples: Some dusts are considered to be carci-
nogenic. Use suitable dust/chip extraction and
wear a dust protection mask.
■Light metal dust can burn or explode. Always keep
the work place clean since material mixtures are
especially dangerous.
The machine can be connected directly to the socket
of a Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner with remote
starting. The vacuum cleaner starts automatically
when the machine is switched on.
Mount the vacuuming attachment (optional accessory)
and connect the vacuum cleaner.
The vacuuming attachment is spring loaded up to the
preselected drilling depth. In this manner, the vacuum-
ing attachment head is always held close to the sur-
face.
Setting the Speed (Fig. )
By increasing or decreasing the pressure on the on/off
switch 5, the speed can be continuously controlled
during operation.
Advantages:
– Slow starting of holes, e.g., on smooth surfaces or
tiles
– No sliding off of the drill when stating the hole
– No splintering of the hole.
The speed must be selected according to the operat-
ing mode, the material to be worked and the diameter
of the drill.
See Operating Modes for recommended values.
The operation of the gearbox for each application is
set with the mode selection switch 7:
Drilling Hammer Drilling
The operating mode selector switch may be ac-
tuated only at a standstill.
Do not use tools without SDS-plus for hammer
drilling or chiselling!
The following table shows how the mode selection
switch 7and the right/left rotation switch 6as well as
the on/off switch 5for regulation the speed are to be
set for the various operating modes (see illustrations
on the fold-out page):
(Fig. – )
With sharpened insertion tools, one achieves good
working performance and long service life. Therefore,
sharpen the chisel regularly.
Sharpen the tool on a grinding wheel (e.g. alumina
oxide) with constant water supply.
Take care that the cutting edge does not show signs
of coloration since this affects the hardness of the tool.

■Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
mains plug.
■For safe and efficient working, always keep the ma-
chine and the ventilation slots clean.
Clean the tool holder daily.
Replacing the Dust Protection Cap
Damaged dust protection caps should be replaced as
soon as possible since dust that enters the tool holder
can cause malfunctions.
It is recommended that this be performed by
customer service.
WARNING
Important instructions for connecting a new 3-
pin plug to the 2-wire cable.
The wires in the cable are coloured according to the
following code:
Do not connect the blue or brown wire to the earth ter-
minal of the plug.
Important: If the plug on the cable of this machine
must be replaced, dispose of the old plug to prevent
misuse.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in
manufacture and testing, repair should be carried out
by an authorised customer services agent for Bosch
power tools.
For all correspondence and spare parts orders, always
include the 10-digit order number of the machine.
Recycle raw materials instead of disposing as
waste.
The machine, accessories and packaging should be
submitted for environment-friendly recycling.
These instructions are printed on recycled paper man-
ufactured without chlorine.
The plastic components are labelled for categorised
recycling.
