Safety instructions
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustra-
tions and specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
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 (cor-
ded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
uKeep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
uDo 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.
uKeep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
uPower 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.
uAvoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
uDo not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 4W9 | (07.06.2019)

8 | English
uDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
uWhen operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
uIf operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a re-
sidual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
uStay 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 inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
uUse personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
uPrevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-posi-
tion 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 energising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
uRemove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
uDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
uDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
uIf devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
1 609 92A 4W9 | (07.06.2019) Bosch Power Tools

English | 9
uDo not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless ac-
tion can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
uDo not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
uDo 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.
uDisconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the bat-
tery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool acci-
dentally.
uStore idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
uMaintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or
binding 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.
uKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
uUse the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
uKeep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care
uRecharge 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.
uUse power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use
of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
uWhen battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal ob-
jects, 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.
uUnder abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If li-
quid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
uDo not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Dam-
aged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting
in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
uDo not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperat-
ure. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
uFollow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack
or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
uHave your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
uNever service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should
only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Safety Warnings for Screwdrivers
uHold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasten-
ers contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
1 609 92A 4W9 | (07.06.2019) Bosch Power Tools

English | 11
uUse suitable detectors to determine if there are hidden supply lines
or contact the local utility company for assistance. Contact with elec-
tric cables can cause fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead
to explosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
uHold the power tool securely. When tightening and loosening screws be
prepared for temporarily high torque reactions.
uSecure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in
a vice is held more secure than by hand.
uAlways wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before
placing it down. The application tool can jam and cause you to lose con-
trol of the power tool.
Protect the power tool against heat, e.g. against con-
tinuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture.
There is a risk of explosion.

Noise/Vibration Information
Noise emission values determined according to EN62841-2-2.
Typically, the A-weighted sound pressure level of the power tool is less than
70dB(A). The noise level when working can exceed the volume stated.
Wear hearing protection
Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K determined ac-
cording to EN62841-2-2:
Screwdriving: ah=2.5m/s2, K=1.5m/s2
The vibration level and noise emission value given in these instructions have
been measured in accordance with a standardised measuring procedure and
may be used to compare power tools. They may also be used for a prelimin-
ary estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value represent the main ap-
plications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other ap-
plications, with different application tools or is poorly maintained, the vibra-
tion level and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly in-
crease the vibration and noise emissions over the total working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the times when the
tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually being used should
also be taken into account. This may significantly reduce vibration and noise
emissions over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the operator from the ef-
fects of vibration, such as servicing the power tool and application tools,
keeping their hands warm, and organising workflows correctly.
Assembly
Battery Charging (seefigureA)
uUse only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers
are matched to the lithium-ion battery of your power tool.
uNote the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must match
the voltage specified on the rating plate of the charger. Chargers marked
with 230V can also be operated with 220V.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery capa-
city, fully charge the battery in the charger before using your power tool for
the first time.

Adjusting the Speed
You can adjust the speed of the power tool by pressing in the on/off
switch(8) to varying extents.
A light pressure on the on/off switch(8) results in a low rotational speed. In-
creased pressure on the switch causes an increase in speed.
Fully automatic spindle lock (Auto-Lock)
The drill spindle, and therefore the tool holder, are locked when the on/off
switch (8) is not pressed.
This allows screws to be driven in even when the battery is discharged and
enables the power tool to be used as a screwdriver.
uIf the drill spindle is blocked, do not press the on/off switch (8) for
longer than 15 seconds. Otherwise, the power tool may become dam-
aged.
Practical advice
uOnly apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the tool is switched
off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
