u Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

u 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

u Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

u 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.

u Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-

faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerat-

ors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your

body is earthed or grounded.

u Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

u When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-

sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-

able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

u If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-

avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protec-

ted supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric

u 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 inatten-

tion while operating power tools may result in serious per-

the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a

rotating part of the power tool may result in personal in-

u Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

u Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-

ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving

parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught

u 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.

u Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools

allow you to become complacent and ignore tool

safety principles. A careless action can cause severe in-

jury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

u 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 de-

u 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.

u Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-

move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power

tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-

cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

u 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.

u Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-

alignment 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.

u Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-

tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

u Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-

count the working 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.

u Keep 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

u Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-

facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-

tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another

u Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-

tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a

risk of injury and fire.

u When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

other metal objects, 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

u Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-

curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-

tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-

tery may cause irritation or burns.

u Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or

modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk

u Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excess-

ive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above

130°C may cause explosion.

u Follow 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.

u 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.

u Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-

tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer

or authorized service providers.

Safety Instructions for Drill/Driver

Safety instructions for all operations

u Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the cutting ac-

cessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring. Cut-

ting accessory or fasteners contacting a "live" wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and

could give the operator an electric shock.

Safety instructions when using long drill bits

u Never operate at higher speed than the maximum

speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is

likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contact-

ing the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.

u Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip

in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit

is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contact-

ing the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.

u Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do

not apply excessive pressure.Bits can bend causing

breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

Additional safety information

u Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with

clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by

u Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-

plete stop before placing it down. The application tool

can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.

u Switch the power tool off immediately if the applica-

tion tool becomes blocked. Be prepared for high

torque reactions which cause kickback. The applica-

tion tool becomes blocked when it becomes jammed in

the workpiece or when the power tool becomes over-

u Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hid-

den supply lines or contact the local utility company

for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause

fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to ex-

plosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.

u Hold the power tool securely. When tightening and

loosening screws be prepared for temporarily high torque

u In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-

pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-

plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical

attention should you experience any adverse effects. The

vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

u Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-

u The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such

as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.

An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to

burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

u Only use the battery with products from the manufac-

turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the

battery against dangerous overload.

Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against

continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water

and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and

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 com-

pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary

estimation of vibration and noise emissions.

The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-

ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the

power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-

plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level

and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly

increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total

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 oper-

ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the

power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,

and organising workflows correctly.

Assembly u Remove the battery from the power tool before carry- ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,

changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-

moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury

from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

Charging the Battery (see figureA)

u Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only

these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure

full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger

before using your power tool for the first time.

Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 4T2 | (19.05.2020)14 | English

The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without

reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process

does not damage the battery.

The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge

by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery

is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a

protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates.

u Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the

power tool has automatically switched off. The battery

Changing the Tool (see figure B)

u Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-

ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,

changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-

moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury

from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

The drill spindle is locked when the on/off switch (7) is not

pressed. This makes it possible to change the application

tool in the drill chuck quickly, conveniently and easily.

Open the keyless chuck (1) by turning it in the direction of

rotation ➊ until the tool can be inserted. Insert the tool.

Firmly tighten the sleeve of the keyless chuck (1) by turning

it by hand in the direction of rotation ➋ until it audibly clicks

into place. This will automatically lock the drill chuck.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Dust 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 dust can cause allergic

reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or

Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci-

nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment ad-

ditives (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 ma-

terials to be worked.

Inserting the battery

Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your power tool can

lead to malfunctions or damage to the power tool.

Set the rotational direction switch (6) to the middle position

to avoid unintentionally switching it on. Insert the charged

battery (5) into the handle until you feel it engage and it is

flush with the handle.

Setting the rotational direction (see figureC)

The rotational direction switch (6) is used to change the ro-

tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-

sible while the on/off switch (7) is being pressed.

Right rotation: To drill and to drive in screws, press the ro-

tational direction switch (6) through to the left stop.

Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts,

press the rotational direction switch (6) through to the right

Preselecting the Torque

The torque presetting ring (2) can be used to preselect the

required torque in 20 stages. When the correct setting is

used, the application tool will be stopped when the screw is

driven flush into the material or once the set torque has been

reached. In position the overload clutch is deactivated,

When unscrewing screws, you can select a higher setting or

set the tool to the symbol.

Mechanical gear selection

u Only operate the gear selector (3) when the power

You can preselect two speed ranges with the gear selector

Low speed range; for working with a large drilling diameter

or for screwdriving.

High speed range; for working with a small drilling diameter.

If the gear selector switch (3) cannot be pushed all the way,

turn the drill chuck slightly with the drill.

To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch

The lamp (9) lights up when the on/off switch (7) is lightly or

fully pressed, meaning that the work area is illuminated in

poor lighting conditions.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (7).

You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by

pressing in the on/off switch (7) to varying extents.

A light pressure on the on/off switch (7) results in a low rota-

tional speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an in-

Fully automatic spindle lock (Auto-Lock)

1× continuous green light <33%

1× flashing green light Reserve

Temperature-dependent overload protection

In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-

loaded. In the event of heaving loading or the temperature

rising/falling outside the permitted battery temperature

range, the speed will be reduced. The power tool will not run

at full speed again until the permitted battery temperature

u Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the

tool is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.

After working at a low speed for an extended period, you

should operate the power tool at the maximum speed for ap-

proximately three minutes without load to cool it down.

When drilling into metal, only use sharpened HSS drills (HSS

= high-speed steel) which are in perfect condition. The

Bosch accessory range guarantees appropriate quality.

Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard materials, it

is advisable to pre-drill a pilot hole with the core diameter of

the thread to approx. 2/3 of the screw length.

Maintenance and Service
