Failure to follow all in- structions 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 (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cord- less) power tool. Work area safety 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 or fumes. u Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Electrical safety 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. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec- tric shock. u Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry- ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. 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 shock. Personal safety 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- sonal injury. u Use 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 personal in- juries. u 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. u 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 in- jury. 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 in moving parts. 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- signed. 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 accidentally. 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. 1 609 92A 77M | (22.12.2021) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 7 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. Service 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. Hammer Safety Warnings Safety instructions for all operations u Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hear- ing loss. u Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury. u Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting ac- cessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting 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 with rotary hammers 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 Use suitable 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 or may cause an electric shock. 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 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au- thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug. The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere. u Do not touch any application tools or adjacent housing components shortly after operation. These can become very hot during operation and cause burns. u The application tool may jam during drilling. Make sure you have a stable footing and hold the power tool firmly with both hands. Otherwise you could lose con- trol of the power tool. u Take care when carrying out demolition work using the chisel. Falling fragments of the demolition material could injure you or any bystanders. u Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be more securely guided with both hands. Product Description and Specifications Read all the safety and general instructions.

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- 1 609 92A 77M | (22.12.2021) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 9 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 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 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 Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool. Auxiliary handle u Do not operate your power tool without the auxiliary handle(14). u Make sure that the auxiliary handle is always tightened. Otherwise you could lose control of the power tool when working. Swivelling the auxiliary handle (see figure A) You can swivel the auxiliary handle (14) to any angle for a safe work posture that minimises fatigue. – Turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (14) anticlockwise and swivel the auxiliary handle (14) into the required position. Then turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (14) clockwise to retighten it. Make sure that the retaining strap of the auxiliary handle slots into the corresponding groove of the housing. Selecting drill chucks and tools Hammer drilling and chiselling require SDS-plus application tools that are inserted into the SDS-plus drill chuck. For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and plastic as well as for screwdriving, tools without SDS‑plus are used (e.g. cylindrical shank drill bits). For these tools, a keyless chuck or a keyed chuck are required. GBH 2-24 DFR: The SDS plus quick-change chuck(2) can easily be swapped with the keyless quick-change chuck(1) supplied. Changing the drill chuck Inserting/removing the keyed chuck

GBH 2-24 RE, GBH 2-24 DRE

You must use a suitable drill chuck (keyed or keyless chuck, accessories) to work with tools that do not have SDS-plus (e.g. cylindrical shank drill bits). Fitting the keyed chuck (see figure B) – Screw the SDS-plus shank (20) into a keyed chuck (19). Secure the keyed chuck (19) using the securing screw (18). Note that the securing screw has a left-hand thread. Inserting the keyed chuck (seefigureB) – Clean and lightly grease the insertion end of the shank. – Insert the keyed chuck with the adapter shank into the tool holder with a turning motion until it automatically locks. – Check that it is locked by pulling the keyed chuck. Removing the keyed chuck – Push the locking sleeve (5) back and remove the keyed chuck (19). Removing/inserting the quick-change chuck

Removing the Quick-Change Chuck (seefigureC) – Pull back on the quick-change chuck locking ring(6), hold it in this position and pull the SDS plus quick-change chuck(2) or the keyless quick-change chuck(1) out from the front. – Once the quick-change chuck is removed, protect it from dirt. Inserting the Quick-Change Chuck (seefigureD) – Before insertion, clean the quick-change chuck and lightly grease the shank. – Wrap your whole hand around the SDS plus quick-change chuck(2) or the keyless quick-change chuck(1). Use a turning motion to push the quick-change chuck into the drill chuck holder(21) until you hear it click into place. – The quick-change chuck is automatically locked. Check that it is locked by pulling on the quick-change chuck. Changing the Tool The dust protection cap (4) largely prevents the penetration of drilling dust into the tool holder during operation. When inserting the tool, make sure that the dust protection cap (4) does not become damaged. u Replace a damaged dust protection cap immediately. It is recommended that you have use an after-sales service for this. Changing the tool (SDS plus) Inserting SDS plus application tools (seefigureE) The SDS-plus drill chuck enables you to change the applica- tion tool easily and conveniently without needing to use ad- ditional tools. – GBH 2-24 DFR: Insert the SDS plus quick-change chuck(2). Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 77M | (22.12.2021)10 | English – Clean and lightly grease the shank of the application tool. – Insert the application tool into the tool holder while turn- ing it until it locks automatically. – Check that it is locked by pulling on the tool. As a requirement of the system, the SDS-plus application tool can move freely. This causes a certain radial run-out at no-load, which has no effect on the accuracy of the drill hole, as the drill bit centres itself upon drilling. Removing SDS-plus application tools (seefigureF) – Push the locking sleeve (5) back and remove the applica- tion tool. Changing the keyed chuck

Dust/Chip Extraction The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health. Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac- tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in people in the near vicinity. Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain- ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists. – Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma- terial wherever possible. – Provide good ventilation at the workplace. – It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask. The regulations on the material being machined that apply in the country of use must be observed. u Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite. Dust extraction with the dust extraction attachment (accessory) Fitting the dust extraction attachment (see figure I) For dust extraction, the dust extraction attachment (access- ory) is required. When drilling, the dust extraction attach- ment retracts so that the attachment head is always close to the surface at the drill hole. – Press the button for depth stop adjustment (12) and re- move the depth stop (13). Press the button (12) again and insert the dust extraction attachment into the auxili- ary handle (14) from the front. – Connect an extraction hose (diameter 19mm, accessory) to the suction opening (24) of the dust extraction attach- ment. The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being worked. When extracting dust that is dry, especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor. Setting the drilling depth on the dust extraction attachment (see figure J) You can also set the required drilling depth X when the dust extraction attachment is fitted. – Push the SDS-plus application tool into the SDS-plus tool holder (3) as far as it will go. Otherwise, the movability of the SDS-plus drilling tool can lead to incorrect adjustment of the drilling depth. – Loosen the wing bolt (28) on the dust extraction attach- ment. – Without switching it on, press the power tool firmly against the surface you wish to drill. The SDS-plus applic- ation tool must be touching the surface. 1 609 92A 77M | (22.12.2021) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 11 – Position the guide tube (29) of the dust extraction attach- ment in its holder such that the head of the dust extrac- tion attachment rests on the surface to be drilled. Do not slide the guide tube (29) further than necessary over the telescopic tube (27), so that as much as possible of the scale remains visible on the telescopic tube (27). – Retighten the wing bolt (28). Loosen the clamping screw (25) on the depth stop of the dust extraction attachment. – Slide the depth stop (26) onto the telescopic tube (27) so that the distance X shown in the illustration matches your required drilling depth. – Tighten the clamping screw (25) in this position. Operation u Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid- ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current of 30 mA or less. Start-up u Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked with 230V can also be operated with 220V.
