Safety Notes General Power Tool Safety Warnings Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in elec- tric 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.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut- tered 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. Distrac- tions 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, radia- tors, 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 out- door use. Use of a cord suitable for out- door use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp loca- tion is unavoidable, use a residual cur- rent device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 influ- ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious person- al injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Al- ways wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec- tion 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 bat- tery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fin- ger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites acci- dents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be- fore turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal inju- ry. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unex- pected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth- ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. WARNING OBJ_BUCH-208-004.book Page 15 Thursday, October 14, 2010 9:51 AM16 | English 2 609 140 815 | (14.10.10) Bosch Power Tools g) If devices are provided for the connec- tion of dust extraction and collection fa- cilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor- rect 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. 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 re- paired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjust- ments, 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 unfa- miliar with the power tool or these in- structions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis- alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi- tion that may affect the power tool’s op- eration. 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. Prop- erly 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 in- structions, taking into account the work- ing 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.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with anoth- er battery pack. b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any oth- er battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like pa- per clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to anoth- er. Shorting the battery terminals togeth- er may cause burns or a fire. d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additional- ly seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qual- ified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Safety Warnings for Drills and Screw- driver f Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur- faces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fastener may con- tact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory and fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. f Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company 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 damage or may cause an electric shock.

Be prepared for high reaction torque that can cause kick- back. The tool insert jams when: — the power tool is subject to overload or — it becomes wedged in the workpiece. f Hold the machine with a firm grip. High re- action torque can briefly occur while driving in and loosening screws. f Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. f 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. f Do not open the battery. Danger of short- circuiting. Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. Danger of explosion. f Use only original Bosch batteries with the voltage listed on the nameplate of your power tool. When using other batteries, e. g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or other brands, there is danger of injury as well as property damage through exploding batter- ies.

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) deter- mined according to EN 60745: Drilling into metal: Vibration emission value

The vibration emission level given in this infor- mation sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. OBJ_BUCH-208-004.book Page 17 Thursday, October 14, 2010 9:51 AM18 | English 2 609 140 815 | (14.10.10) Bosch Power Tools The declared vibration emission level repre- sents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may signifi- cantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibra- tion should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is run- ning but not actually doing the job. This may sig- nificantly reduce the exposure level over the to- tal working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

To remove the battery 6 press the unlocking but- tons 5 and pull out the battery downwards. Do not exert any force. The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature control which allows charging only within a tem- perature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery service life is achieved in this man- ner. A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the battery is used and must be replaced. Observe the notes for disposal. Changing the Tool (see figure A) f Before any work on the machine (e. g., maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and storage, set the rota- tional direction switch to the centre posi- tion. Unintentional actuation of the On/Off switch can lead to injuries. The drill spindle is locked when the On/Off switch 8 is not pressed. This makes quick, con- venient and easy changing of the tool in the drill chuck possible. Open the keyless chuck 1 by turning in rotation direction n, until the tool can be inserted. Insert the tool. Firmly tighten the collar of the keyless chuck 1 by hand in rotation direction o until the locking action (“click”) is no longer heard. This automat- ically locks the chuck. The locking is released again to remove the tool when the collar is turned in the opposite direc- tion. Replacing the Drill Chuck f Before any work on the machine (e. g., maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and storage, set the rota- tional direction switch to the centre posi- tion. Unintentional actuation of the On/Off switch can lead to injuries. Removing the Securing Screw (see figure B) The keyless chuck 1 is secured with a securing screw 11 against unintentional loosening from the drill spindle. Completely open the keyless chuck 1 and unscrew the securing screw 11 in rotation direction n. Please note that the se- curing screw has a left-hand thread. Removing the Drill Chuck (see figure C) Clamp the short end of an Allen key 12 into the keyless chuck 1. Place the machine on a stable surface (e. g. a workbench). Hold the machine firmly and loos- en the keyless chuck 1 by turning the Allen key 12 in rotation direction n. Loosen a tight-seated keyless chuck by giving the long end of the Allen key 12 a light blow. Remove the Allen key from the keyless chuck and completely unscrew the keyless chuck. Mounting the Drill Chuck (see figure D) The keyless chuck is mounted in reverse order. The drill chuck must be tightened with a tightening torque of approx. 20–25 Nm. Screw the securing screw 11 in anti-clockwise direction into the opened keyless chuck. Always use a new securing screw, as the threads are covered with a thread-locking compound that loses its effect after multiple usage. Dust/Chip Extraction f Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one’s health. Touch- ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller- gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec- tions of the user or bystanders. Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment additives OBJ_BUCH-208-004.book Page 19 Thursday, October 14, 2010 9:51 AM20 | English 2 609 140 815 | (14.10.10) Bosch Power Tools (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists. – Provide for good ventilation of the work- ing place. – It is recommended to wear a P2 filter- class respirator. Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked. f Prevent dust accumulation at the work- place. Dusts can easily ignite. Operation Starting Operation Inserting the Battery f Use only original Bosch O-pack batteries with the voltage given on the type plate of your machine. The use of other batteries can lead to injuries and danger of fire. Set the rotational direction switch 7 to the cen- tre position in order to avoid unintentional start- ing. Insert the charged battery 6 into the handle so that it can be felt to engage and faces flush against the handle. Reversing the Rotational Direction (see figure E) The rotational direction switch 7 is used to re- verse the rotational direction of the machine. However, this is not possible with the On/Off switch 8 actuated. Right Rotation: For drilling and driving in screws, push the rotational direction switch 7 left to the stop. Left Rotation: For loosening or unscrewing screws, push the rotational direction switch 7 right to the stop. Setting the Torque With the torque presetting ring 2 the required torque setting can be preselected in 20 steps. With the correct setting, the insert tool is stopped as soon as the screw is screwed flush into the material or when the adjusted torque is reached. The safety clutch is deactivated in the “ ” position, e. g. for drilling. Select a higher setting or switch to the “ ” symbol when unscrewing screws. Gear Selection, Mechanical f Actuate the gear selector 3 only when the machine is at a standstill. Two speed ranges can be preselected with the gear selector 3. Gear I: Low speed range; for screwdriving or working with large drilling diameter. Gear II: High speed range; for working with small drilling diameter. If the gear selector 3 cannot be pushed through to the stop, lightly turn the drill chuck with drill. Switching On and Off To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 8 and keep it pressed. To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 8. Adjusting the Speed The speed of the switched on power tool can be variably adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch 8 is pressed. Light pressure on the On/Off switch 8 results in a low rotational speed. Further pressure on the switch results in an increase in speed. Fully automatic spindle locking (Auto-lock) When the On/Off switch 8 is not pressed, the drill spindle and thus the tool holder are locked. This enables screws to be screwed in, even when the battery is empty and allows for the machine to be used as a screwdriver. OBJ_BUCH-208-004.book Page 20 Thursday, October 14, 2010 9:51 AMEnglish | 21 Bosch Power Tools 2 609 140 815 | (14.10.10) Run-on Brake When the On/Off switch 8 is released, the chuck brakes to a stop, thus preventing the run-on of the tool. When driving in screws, wait until the screw is screwed in flush with the material and then re- lease the On/Off switch 8. By doing so, the head of the screw does not penetrate into the material. Working Advice f Apply the power tool to the screw only when it is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off. After longer periods of working at low speed, al- low the machine to cool down by running it for approx. 3 minutes at maximum speed with no load. For drilling in metal, use only perfectly sharp- ened HSS drill bits (HSS=high-speed steel). The appropriate quality is guaranteed by the Bosch accessories program. Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard materials, it is advisable to predrill a pilot hole with the core diameter of the thread to approx.

of the screw length. Maintenance and Service Maintenance and Cleaning f Before any work on the machine (e. g., maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and storage, set the rota- tional direction switch to the centre posi- tion. Unintentional actuation of the On/Off switch can lead to injuries. f For safe and proper working, always keep the machine and 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.
