General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING!

Read all safety warnings and all 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 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. Cluttered 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. Distractions 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, radiators, 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 outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) 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 injuries.

c) 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 energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove 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.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing 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 connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

h) Use ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

4. Power tool use and care

a) 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. 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 repaired.

c) 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.

d) 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.

e) Maintain power tools. 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.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 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 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.

5. Service

a) Have 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.

14 | English

b) In case of consuming of the carbon brushes to send the tool by assistance authorized technique for substitution. Carbon brushes are of specify them cause damages to the motor of the tool.

c) If the power cord is damaged, the power cord shall be replaced by manufacturer, service or qualified person to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

Safety instructions

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 instructions on page 15 must be followed. Before using for the first time, ask for a practical

demonstration.

If the mains cable is damaged or cut through while working, do not touch the cable but immediately pull the mains plug. Never use the machine with a damaged cable.

For long hair, wear hair protection. Work only with closely fitting clothes.

Wear ear protection. Wear safety goggles.

▶ Insert the mains plug only when the machine is switched off.
▶ Always direct the cable to the rear away from the machine.

▶ When drilling use the auxiliary handle.
- Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
▶ Do not work materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
Take protective measures when dust can develop during working that is harmful to one's health, combustible or explosive. Example: Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip extraction when connectable.
▶ If the drilling tool jams it will cause the tool to jolt. If this occurs switch the tool off immediately.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance.
▶ Be careful when screwing in long screws; danger of sliding off. (GSB 13 RE and GSB 16 RE)
For screws, work using the first gear or with a low speed. (GSB 13 RE and GSB 16 RE)
▶ Place the machine on the screw/nut only when switched off. (GSB 13 RE and GSB 16 RE)
▶ Always switch off the machine and allow to come to a stop before placing it down.
▶ Never allow children to use the machine.
▶ Bosch is only able to ensure perfect functioning of the machine if the original accessories intended for it are used.

Auxiliary handle

When drilling use the auxiliary handle 9.

Depending on the application, the auxiliary handle can be adjustable in different positions.

Depth stop rod

For serial drills of same depth you have to put the depth stop 10 in the auxiliary handle and to adjust the according to your necessity.

Inserting the accessory

▶ Key type chuck (fig. A)
Open the chuck wide enough so that the tool can be inserted. Insert the accessory and tighten all 3 bores equally with the chuck key.

Caution! The chuck may be very hot: During longer working periods, especially when impact drilling, the chuck can become very hot. In this case we recommend

wearing protective gloves.

▶ Screwdriver Tools (fig.B)

When using screwdriver bits 13, a bit holder 14 should always be used. Use only the screwdriver bits that fit the screw head. Set selector switch 2 to the drill symbol for the screwing function.

Initial operation

Do not drill, fasten or cut into blind areas where electric, gas or water lines may exist. Use appropriate detectors to determine if these lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance.

Contacting electric lines may cause fire or electric shock. Striking a gas line will probably result in explosion. Breaking into a water pipe will cause property damage or may cause an electric shock.

Check for correct mains voltage: The voltage of the power source must agree with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the machine.

SWITCHING ON AND OFF

Brief activation

Press or release the On/Off switch 4.

Continuous use

Switching on: Press On/Off switch 4 and retain with locking button 3.

Switching off: Press and release On/Off switch 4.

▶ STEPLESS SPEED CONTROL (GSB 13 RE and GSB 16 RE)

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 load the machine so heavily that it comes to a standstill.

PRESELECTING THE SPEED (GSB 16 RE)

With thumbwheel for speed preselection 5, the require speed can be preselected even during operation. The require speed depends on the material and the working conditions, and can be determined through practical testing.

▶ CHANGING THE ROTATIONAL DIRECTIONS (GSB 13 RE and GSB 16 RE)

Operate the rotational direction switch 5 only at a standstill.

Using the rotational direction switch 6, the direction of rotation of the machine can be changed (right or left). By actuating the On/Off switch 4, the rotational direction switch 6 can be locked.

Right Rotation (fig. C)

Press the rotational direction switch through to the left stop (for drilling, impact drilling, driving screws, etc.).

Left Rotation (figure D)

Press the rotational direction switch through to the right stop (for loosening and unscrewing screws and nuts).

DRILLING, DRIVING AND IMPACT DRILLING

Drilling and Driving

Push selector switch 2 to the right.

Impact Drilling

Push selector switch 2 to the left.

The switch 2 notches in distinctly and can be operated whilst the machine is running. Hard metal drills are necessary when working with concrete, stone and brick.

Pratical advice

Check the material to be drilled and select the correct bit. Do not drill with a bit that is inadequate for the job, because this will damage either your workpiece or the bit itself.

Small workpieces

Use a vise or clamps to hold your workpiece. Loose pieces could grip int the bit and cause accidents.

Wall tiles and ceramics

Begin to drill without impact and activate the impact system after drilling through the enamel surface.

By doing this, you prevent the bit to slide or the material to split.

16 | English

Select the right bit

By choosing the correct bit for every specific material, and keeping it correctly sharpened, you'll allow your tool to show its best performance.

Carbon tipped bits - wood

High speed steel bits - soft steel, aluminium, wood, etc.

Carbide tipped bits - concrete, marble, ceramics, etc.

Attention!

When drilling in metal, use special cutting oil to prevent the bit to burn. Drillings in concrete, stone, ceramics, etc. should be in dry.

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.
