Frequently Asked Questions - PSR 1200 BOSCH

How to change the drill bit or screwdriver bit?

Open the keyless chuck by turning the front sleeve counterclockwise. Insert the tool all the way, then tighten the front sleeve by hand turning clockwise until no further click is heard. The chuck locks automatically.

How to recharge the battery?

Use only a Bosch charger designed for this battery. The charging temperature must be between 0 °C and 45 °C. A new battery reaches full capacity after about 5 charge/discharge cycles. Do not charge a hot battery; let it cool down first.

What is the maximum drilling capacity in steel?

The maximum drilling diameter in steel is 10 mm.

How to adjust the screwdriving torque?

Turn the torque setting ring (1) to one of the 5 positions. Position 1 gives reduced torque for small screws or soft materials; position 5 gives high torque. The ideal setting is reached when the clutch slips as soon as the screw head is flush with the material. For drilling, set the ring to the drill symbol.

What to do if the drill does not start?

Check that the battery is clicked in and charged. Make sure the rotation direction switch (3) is not in the middle position (locked). If the problem persists, contact Bosch customer service.

How to reverse the rotation direction?

Only operate the rotation direction switch (3) when the tool is completely stopped. Push the switch to the right for drilling and screwdriving; to the left for unscrewing.

How to maintain the drill?

Before any intervention, remove the battery. Clean the tool and its cooling vents regularly. Store the tool in a dry, frost-free place. Repairs should be carried out by a Bosch specialist.

What types of batteries can I use?

Use exclusively Bosch NiCd batteries rated 12 V suitable for this model (ref. 0 603 944 5..). Using other batteries may damage the tool or charger.

How to know if the battery is charged?

The battery does not have a built-in charge indicator. The service time after a full charge is an indicator: if it decreases significantly, the battery is worn and must be replaced. Use a Bosch charger that indicates the end of charge.

Can I use this drill for screwdriving?

Yes, the PSR 1200 is designed for driving and removing screws. Use a suitable screwdriver bit (ref. 7) or a universal bit holder (ref. 8) for hex bits. Set the appropriate torque to avoid damaging the screw or material.

For Your Safety

Working safely with this machine is possible only when the operating and safety information are read completely and the instructions contained therein are strictly followed. In addition, the general safety notes in the enclosed booklet must be observed.

Wear safety goggles. For long hair, wear hair protection. Work only with closely fitting clothes. Before each use, check the machine and battery. If damage is detected, do not use the machine. Have repairs performed only by a qualified technician. Never open the machine yourself. The rated voltage of the battery must agree with the data on the machine. Remove the battery before any work on the machine itself and before storing it. Before inserting the battery, when changing tools as well as when transporting and storing, always set the rotational direction switch to the centre position! - Convince yourself before using that the battery is securely seated in the machine. - Do not strain the machine so heavily that it comes to a standstill.

Hold the machine tightly: When driving in screws, high reaction moments can briefly occur. Never allow children to use the machine. Bosch is only able to ensure perfect operation of the machine if the original accessories intended for it are used.

Battery and Battery Charger

The enclosed operating instructions for the battery charger must be read carefully!

The battery and battery charger are designed to match each other. When charging the battery, use only a Bosch battery charger designed for it with a charging voltage that corresponds with the battery (see type plate). Combining different rated voltages causes damage to the battery charger. ■ Allow a heated battery to cool before charging. - Protect the battery from heat and fire: Danger of explosion! Do not place the battery on radiators or expose to strong sun rays for a longer time; temperatures over 50°C cause damage. - Do not open the battery, and protect it from impact. Store in a dry and frost-free place. Cover the contacts of a removed battery. Danger of fire results when shorted by a metal object! - Do not throw the battery into the household waste, into fire or water.

Before Putting into Operation

Battery Charging

A battery that is new or has not been used for a longer period does not develop its full capacity until after approximately 5 charging/discharging cycles.

To remove the battery 5, press the unlocking buttons 6 and pull out the battery downwards. Do not exert any force.

The battery is equipped with an NTC temperature control which allows charging only within a temperature range of between 0°C and 45°C . A long battery service life is achieved in this manner.

A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the batteries are used and must be replaced.

Observe the notes on environmental protection.

Changing the Tool

Open the drill chuck until the tool can be inserted. Insert the tool.

Hold the rear collar tight and firmly tighten the front collar by hand, until the "clicking" of the locking action is no longer heard. This automatically locks the chuck.

The locking is released again when the front collar is turned in the opposite direction to remove the tool.

Screwdriving (see figures A + B)

Directly clamp the screwdriver bit into the drill chuck or use the additional universal bit holder 8 when operating with hex shank bits 7.

Initial Operation

Inserting the Battery

Set the rotational direction switch 3 to the centre position = lock-off and allow the charged battery 5 to engage into the handle.

Switching On and Off

To start the machine press the On/Off switch 4.

The machine runs with variable speed between 0 and maximum, depending on the pressure applied to the On/Off switch 4. Light pressure results in a low rotational speed thus allowing smooth, controlled starts. Do not strain the machine so heavily that it comes to a standstill.

To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 4.

Reversing the Rotational Directions

Operate the rotational direction switch 3 only at a standstill.

The rotational direction switch 3 is used to reverse the rotational direction of the machine. However, this is not possible with the On/Off switch 4 actuated.

For drilling and driving in screws, set the rotational direction CLOCKWISE . To drive out screws, switch to the rotational direction ANTICLOCKWISE .

Setting the Torque

Carry out a practical test to determine with which of the 5 settings of the torque setting ring 1 the screws are driven flush into the material.

1 Low setting, e.g., small screws, soft materials. 5 High setting, e.g., large screws, hard materials.

With the correct setting, the clutch disengages as soon as the screw is driven flush into the material or the set torque is reached. Select a higher setting when driving out screws, or set to the "Drilling" symbol. The correct setting is to be determined by practical testing.

Drilling

Set the torque setting ring 1 to the "Drilling" symbol.

Operating Instructions

Run-On Brake

When releasing the On/Off switch 4 the speed of the drill chuck is reduced to a stop, thus preventing the run-on of the tool.

For screwdriving applications, wait until the screw is flush with the material and then release the On/Off switch 4. The screw head does not penetrate into the material then.

Replacing the Drill Chuck

For machines without a drill spindle locking facility, the chuck must be changed by an authorised after-sales service shop for Bosch power tools.

The chuck must be tightened with a torque of approx. 35-40 Nm.

Tips

It is advisable to first drill a pilot hole before attempting to screw in large, long screws in hard material.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself, remove the battery.

For safe and proper working, always keep the machine and the ventilation slots clean.

If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.

In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always include the 10-digit order number given on the nameplate of the machine.

Environmental Protection

Recycle raw materials instead of disposing as waste.

The machine, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental-friendly recycling.

These instructions are printed on recycled paper manufactured without chlorine.

The plastic components are labelled for categorized recycling.

Nickel-cadmium-battery: If your product is equipped with a nickel-cadmium-battery, the battery must be collected, recycled or disposed of in an environmentally-friendly way.
