Safety Notes
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous 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.
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 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.
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 and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces 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 op-
erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal inju-
ries.
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 en-
ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-
tating part of the 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 jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force 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.
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.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing 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.
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 bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these 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.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Drills
Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when
performing operations where the application tool or
the screw could contact hidden wiring or its own power
cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany 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 dam-
age.
Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool in-
sert jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque that
can cause kickback. The tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
Always 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.

Assembly
Changing the Tool
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Wear protective gloves when changing the tool. The
drill chuck can become very hot during longer work peri-
ods.
Key Type Drill Chuck (see figure A)
Open the key type drill chuck 1by turning until thetool can be
inserted. Insert the tool.
Insert the chuck key 7into the corresponding holes of the key
type drill chuck 1and clamp the tool uniformly.
Screwdriver Tools (see figure B)
When working with screwdriver bits 8, a universal bit holder 9
should always be used. Use only screwdriver bits that fit the
screw head.
Replacing the Drill Chuck
For power tools without spindle lock, the drill chuck must be
replaced by an authorised after-sales service agent for Bosch
power tools.
The drill chuck must be tightened with a tighten-
ing torque of approx. 31–35Nm.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Operation
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Reversing the rotational direction (GBM 10 RE,
GBM 13 RE)
(see figure C)
The rotational direction switch 6is used to reverse the rota-
tional direction of the machine. However, this is not possible
with the On/Off switch 5actuated.
Right Rotation: For drilling and driving in screws, push the
rotational direction switch 6left to the stop.
Left Rotation: For loosening and unscrewing screws and
nuts, press the rotational direction switch 6through to the
right stop.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 5and keep it
pressed.
To lock the pressed On/Off switch 5, press the lock-on button
4.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 5or
when it is locked with the lock-on button 4, briefly press the
On/Off switch 5and then release it.
When not using the power tool, switch it off in order to save
energy.
Adjusting the Speed (GBM 10 RE, GBM 13 RE)
The speed of the switched on power tool can be variably ad-
justed, depending on how far the On/Off switch 5is pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 5results in a low rotation-
al speed. Further pressure on the switch results in an increase
in speed.
Working Advice
Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only when it is
switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
For drilling in metal, use only perfectly sharpened HSS drill
bits (HSS=high-speed steel). The appropriate quality is guar-
anteed by the Bosch accessories program.
Twist drills from 2.5–10 mm can easily be sharpened with
the drill bit sharpener (see accessories).
We recommend the use of a drill stand (see accessories) for
work where greater precision is particularly required.
The machine vice, which is available as an accessory, enables
secure clamping of workpieces. This prevents the workpiece
from turning and any accidents this would cause.
Belt Clip
With the belt clip 2, the machine can be hung onto a belt. The
user has both hands free and the machine is always at hand.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
