Read all safety warnings and instructions, Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit, Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
Do 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.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool, Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power 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.
Avoid body contactwith earthedor grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators, There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damagedor entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Ifoperating the power tool in damp locations
is unavoidable use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply, Use of
an GFCI reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay 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 operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection, Protective equipment
such asdust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent 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,
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part ofthe power
tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach, Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do notforce 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.
Do 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.
-2-

Disconnect 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.
Store 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.
Maintainpower tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tools operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bitsetc. in accordancewiththese 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
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer, A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other 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.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help, Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your powertool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts, This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
-3-

Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform, Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing wails
or other blind areas where electrical wiring
may exist. If this situation is unavoidable,
disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding
this worksite.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool.
Wear ear protectors when using the tool for
extended periods. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.
Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the
exposure time by taking frequent rest
periods. Vibration caused by hammer-drill
action may be harmful to your hands and
arms.
Secure the material being fastened. Never
hold it in your hand or across your legs.
Unstable support can cause loss of control
and injury.
Avoid accidental starting, Be sure the
forward/reverse switch is in the off
position before inserting battery pack,
Carrying appliances with your finger on the
switch or inserting the battery pack into an
appliance with the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove battery pack before changing
accessories. Accidental starting may occur
because battery appliances with a battery
inserted are in the operative condition.
Be prepared for a reaction torque when
"seating" or removing a fastener. The
screwdriver housing may tend to twist in the
opposite direction of bit rotation when
"seating" or removing a fastener depending
on the torque setting of the tool.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories, When installing an accessory,
insert the shank of the bit well within the
chuck. Be sure the chuck has locked onto
the bit correctly.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at
your side, A spinning bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may result.
Place the tool onto the fastener only when
the screwdriver is switched off, Rotating
driver tools can slide off the fastener.
Do not use this tool as a drill. Tools
equipped with shut-off clutches are not
designed for drilling applications. The clutch
can shut off automatically and without
warning.
Be careful when driving long screws -
there is a risk of sliding off the fastener
head depending on type of socket or bit
used. First test the run-down of a fastener
and pay attention during the screw driving
process to ensure you do not injure yourself
if the tool bit or socket slides off of the
fastener.
_ome dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and
work with approved safety equipment such
as dust masks designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

Battery/Charger
Before using battery charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on
(1) battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3)
product using battery.
Use only the charger which accompanied
your product or direct replacement as
listed in the catalog or this manual, Do not
substitute any other charger. Use only Bosch
approved chargers with your product. See
Functional Description and Specifications.
Do not disassemble charger or operate the
charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Replace damaged cord or plugs
immediately. Incorrect reassembly or damage
may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not recharge battery in damp or wet
environment. Do not expose charger to rain
or snow. If battery case is cracked or
otherwise damaged, do not insert into
charger. Battery short or fire may result.
Charge only Bosch approved rechargeable
batteries. See Functional Description and
Specifications. Other types of batteries may
burst causing personal injury and damage.
Charge battery pack in temperatures above
+32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and below
+113 degrees F (45 degrees C), Store tool
and battery pack in locations where
temperatures will not exceed 120 degrees F
(49 degrees C). This is important to prevent
serious damage to the battery ceils.
Battery leakage may occur under extreme
usage or temperature conditions. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. The battery
liquid is caustic and could cause chemical
burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact with
skin, wash quickly with soap and water. If the
liquid contacts your eyes, flush them with water
for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical
attention.
Place charger on flat non-flammable
surfaces and away from flammable
materials when re-charging battery pack,
The charger and battery pack heat during
charging. Carpeting and other heat insulating
surfaces block proper air circulation which may
cause overheating of the charger and battery
pack. If smoke or melting of the case are
observed unplug the charger immediately and
do not use the battery pack or charger.
Use of an attachment not recom-
mended or sold by Bosch will result in a
risk of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery temperature
is between 32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C). If the
battery pack is too hot or too cold, the charger
will not fast charge the battery. (This may
happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy
use). When the battery temperature returns to
between 32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C), the
charger will automatically begin charging.
2. A substantial drop in operating time per
charge may mean that the battery pack is
nearing the end of its life and should be
replaced.
3. Remember to unplug charger during
storage period.
4. Ifbattery does not charge properly:
a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in
some other electrical device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a
light switch which turns power "off"when lights
are turned off.
c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt.
Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if
necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging,
take or send tool, battery pack and charger to
your local Bosch Service Center. See "Tools,
Electric" in the Yellow Pages for names and
addresses.
Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not
sold by Bosch will void the warranty.

Operating Tips
You will extend the life of your bits and do
neater work if you always put the bit in
contact with the work before pulling the
trigger. During the operation, hold the tool
firmly and exert light, steady pressure. Too
much pressure at low speed will stall the tool.
Too little pressure will keep the bit from
cutting and cause excess friction by sliding
over the surface. This can be damaging to
both tool and bit.
DRIVING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
The technique is to start slowly, increasing
the speed as the screw runs down. Set the
screw snugly by slowing to a stop. Prior to
driving screws, pilot and clearance holes
should be drilled.
Always hold the machine straight on the bolt
to be tightened.
The best method to determine the right
impacting/tightening duration is by means of
a trial. For small screws, the right
impacting/tightening duration can be reached
in less then 0.5 Sec. Therefore, work with
low RPM and switch the machine off
immediately when the screw is tight and the
impacting sound can be heard.
For screwing larger, longer wood screws into
hard material, pre-drilling is the best method.
TIGHTENING TORQUE
(Models 24614 & 24618 only)
The tightening torque depends on the
duration of the impacting/tightening action.
The largest tightening torque is achieved
after approx. 6 to 10 Sec. impacting/
tightening action.
The torque build-up depends on the
following factors:
• Hardness of the bolts/nuts.
• Type of washer (disk washer, spring
washer, seal).
• Hardness of the material to be joined.
• Lubricating effect at the surfaces of the
junction.
This leads to the following application cases:
Hard case: The joining of metal to metal with
a disk washer. The maximum torque is
reached after a relative short impacting/
tightening action.
Medium case: The joining of metal to metal
where spring ring washer, disk spring
washer, stud bolts or bolts/nuts with conical
seats are used.
Soft case: The joining of e.g. metal to wood
or insulation material.
For middle or soft joining cases, the
maximum tightening torque is less as for
hard cases. Therefore, a longer impacting/
tightening action is necessary to arrive at the
maximum tightening torque.
FASTENING WITH SCREWS
This procedure shown in (Fig. 9) will enable
you to fasten materials together with your tool
without stripping, splitting or separating the
material.
First, clamp the pieces together and drill the
first hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. If the
material is soft, drill only 2/3 the proper
length. If it is hard, drill the entire length.
Second, unclamp the pieces and drill the
second hole the same diameter as the screw
shank in the first or top piece of wood.
Third, if fiat head screw is used, countersink
the hole to make the screw flush with the
surface. Then, simply apply even pressure
when driving the screw. The screw shank
clearance hole in the first piece allows the
screw head to pull the pieces tightly together. I1=[_1

RUNNING NUTS AND BOLTS
Variable speed control must be used with
caution for driving nuts and bolts with socket
set attachments. The technique is to start
slowly, increasing speed as the nut or bolt runs
down. Set the nut or bolt snugly by slowing the
tool to a stop. Ifthis procedure is not followed,
the tool will have a tendency to torque or twist
in your hands when the nut or bolt seats.
Service
_NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. Preventive
maintenance performed by unauthorized
personnel may result in misplacing of
internal wires and components which
could cause serious hazard. We recom-
mend that all tool service be performed by a
Bosch Factory Service Center or Authorized
Bosch Service Station. SERVICEMEN:
Disconnect tool and/or charger from power
source before servicing.
BATTERIES
Be alert for battery packs that are nearing
their end of life. If you notice decreased
tool performance or significantly shorter
running time between charges then it is time
to replace the battery pack. Failure to do so
can cause the tool to operate improperly or
damage the charger.
TOOL LUBRICATION
Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated
and is ready for use.
CARBON BRUSHES
The brushes and commutator in your tool have
been engineered for many hours of
dependable service.
If your tool runs sporadically, loses power,
makes unusual noises or runs at a reduced
speed, check the brushes. To continue using
the tool in this condition will permanently
damage your tool.
Check both brushes. Usually the brushes will
not wear out simultaneously. If one brush is
worn out, replace both brushes.
To check brushes: Disconnect battery pack
from tool. Rotate brush cap at the rear part of
housing counter-clockwise with a coin or
screwdriver and remove cap (Fig. 10).
Ii[_Ill]
BRUSH
BRUSH
CAP
Lift out the brushes; note which way they face,
so that the brushes can be returned to their
original position. New brushes can also be
inserted turned 180°. Clean the brush holder
openings with compressed air or a clean cloth
and replace the brushes and brush covers.
After replacing brushes the tool should be run
at no-load and run it freely at full speed for 2
minutes before using the tool. This will allow
the brushes to "seat" properly and will give
you more hours of life from each set of
brushes.
Only genuine Bosch replacement brushes
specially designed for your tool should be
used. D.C. MOTORS
The motor in your tool has been engineered
for many hours of dependable service. To
maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we
recommend it be examined every six months.
Only a genuine Bosch replacement motor
specially designed for your tool should be
used.

Cleaning
To avoid accidents, always
disconnect the tool and/or
charger from the power supply before
cleaning, The tool may be cleaned most
effectively with compressed dry air. Always
wear safety goggles when cleaning tools
with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must
be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do
not attempt to clean by inserting pointed
objects through opening.
_Certain cleaning agents
and solvents damage
plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household detergents
that contain ammonia.
Accessories
lf an extension cord is
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable of
carrying the current necessary for your tool
must be used, This will prevent excessive
voltage drop, loss of power or overheating.
Grounded tools must use 3-wire extension
cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
