General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in elec-
tric shock, fire and/or serious 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.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) 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.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia-
tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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 and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual cur-
rent device (RCD) protected supply. Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3) Personal safety
a) 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 influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious person-
al injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Al-
ways wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or bat-
tery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your fin-
ger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal inju-
ry.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
b) 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 re-
paired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these in-
structions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these in-
structions, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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 anoth-
er battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any oth-
er battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like pa-
per clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects, that can make
a connection from one terminal to anoth-
er. Shorting the battery terminals togeth-
er may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additional-
ly seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Machine-specific
Safety Warnings
fUse appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can
lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an
electric shock.
fSwitch off the power tool immediately
when the tool insert jams. Be prepared for
high reaction torque that can cause kick-
back. The tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.

fHold the machine only by the insulated grip-
ping surfaces, when performing an opera-
tion where the cutting tool may run into hid-
den wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
fHold the machine with a firm grip. High re-
action torque can briefly occur while driving
in and loosening screws.
fSecure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
fDo not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
fTake protective measures when dust can
develop during working that is harmful to
one’s health, combustible or explosive. Ex-
ample: Some dusts are regarded as carcino-
genic. Wear a dust mask and work with
dust/chip extraction when connectable.
fKeep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
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.
fAvoid unintentional switching on. Ensure
the On/Off switch is in the off position be-
fore inserting battery pack. Carrying the
power tool with your finger on the On/Off
switch or inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
fDo not open the battery. Danger of short-
circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g.,
also against continuous sun irradia-
tion and fire. There is danger of explo-
sion.
fIn case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. Provide
for fresh air and seek medical help in case
of complaints. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system.
fWhen the battery is defective, liquid can es-
cape and come into contact with adjacent
components. Check any parts concerned.
Clean such parts or replace them, if required.

Technical Data
Noise/Vibration Information
Measured values determined according to
EN 60745.
Typically the A-weighted sound pressure level of
the product is less than 70 dB(A). The noise lev-
el when working can exceed 80 dB(A).
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN 60745:
Drilling into metal: Vibration emission value
ah<2.5 m/s2, Uncertainty K=1.5 m/s2,
Screwdriving: Vibration emission value
ah<2.5 m/s2, Uncertainty K=1.5 m/s2.
The vibration emission level giv-
en in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standard-
ised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to
compare one tool with another.
The vibration emission level will vary because of
the ways in which a power tool can be used and
may increase above the level given in this infor-
mation sheet. This could lead to a significant un-
derestimate of exposure when the tool is used
regularly in such a way.
Note: To be accurate, an estimation of the level
of exposure to vibration experienced during a
given period of work should also take into ac-
count the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running but not actually doing the
job. This may significantly reduce the exposure
level over the total working period.
Declaration of Conformity
We declare under our sole responsibility that
the product described under “Technical Data”is
in conformity with the following standards or
standardization documents: EN 60745 accord-
ing to the provisions of the directives
89/336/EEC, 98/37/EC (until Dec. 28, 2009),
2006/42/EG (from Dec. 29, 2009 on).

Pull the locking sleeve 3toward the front and
then push the insert tool to the stop into the
tool holder2. The insert tool is automatically
locked.
Removing
Pull the locking sleeve 3forward and remove the
insert tool.
Operation
Starting Operation
Inserting the Battery
fUse only original Bosch lithium ion batter-
ies with the voltage listed on the nameplate
of your power tool. Using other batteries can
lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard.
Note: Use of batteries not suitable for the ma-
chine can lead to malfunctions of or cause dam-
age to the power tool.
Set the rotational direction switch 6to the cen-
tre position in order to avoid unintentional start-
ing. Insert the charged battery 9into the handle
so that it can be felt to engage and faces flush
against the handle.
Reversing the Rotational Direction
(see figure C)
The rotational direction switch 6is used to re-
verse the rotational direction of the machine.
However, this is not possible with the On/Off
switch 7actuated.
Right Rotation: For drilling and driving in
screws, push the rotational direction switch 6
left to the stop.
Left Rotation: For loosening or unscrewing
screws, push the rotational direction switch 6
right to the stop.
Setting the Torque
With the torque presetting ring 4the required
torque setting can be preselected in 10 steps.
With the correct setting, the insert tool is
stopped as soon as the screw is screwed flush
into the material or when the adjusted torque is
reached. The safety clutch is deactivated in the
“”position, e. g. for drilling.
Select a higher setting or switch to the
“”symbol when unscrewing screws.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 7
and keep it depressed.
The LED 10 lights up when the On/Off switch 7
is halfway or fully pressed, and enables illumina-
tion of the screwing location in unfavourable
light conditions.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off
switch 7.
Adjusting the Speed
The speed of the switched on power tool can be
variably adjusted, depending on how far the
On/Off switch 7is pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 7results in
a low rotational speed. Further pressure on the
switch results in an increase in speed.
Fully automatic spindle locking (Auto-lock)
When the On/Off switch 7is 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 screwdriver.

Temperature Dependent Overload Protection
When using as intended for, the power tool can-
not be subject to overload. When the load is too
high or the allowable battery temperature range
of 0–70 °C is exceeded, the speed is reduced.
The power tool will not run at full speed until
reaching the allowable battery temperature.
Protection Against Deep Discharging
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep dis-
charging 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.
Operating Instructions
fApply the power tool to the screw only
when it is switched off. Rotating tool inserts
can slip off.
Soft Grip
The gripping surface (soft grip) 5reduces the
danger of slipping and thereby improves the
grip on the machine and the handling.
At the same time, the rubber coating achieves a
vibration-reducing effect.
Craftsman Case (see figure D)
The craftsman case 13 can hold the power tool,
the respective battery charger, a spare battery
and additional accessories. The craftsman case
13 can be hung up with the utility clip 12.
Tips
For drilling in metal, use only perfectly sharp-
ened HSS drill bits (HSS=high-speed steel). The
appropriate quality is guaranteed 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 (e. g.,
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, set the rota-
tional direction switch to the centre posi-
tion. Unintentional actuation of the On/Off
switch can lead to injuries.
fFor safe and proper working, always keep
