Temperature Dependent Overload Protection
When using as intended for, the power tool can-
not be subject to overload. When the load is too
high or the allowable battery temperature range
of 0–70 °C is exceeded, the speed is reduced.
The power tool will not run at full speed until
reaching the allowable battery temperature.
Protection Against Deep Discharging
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep dis-
charging by the "Electronic Cell Protection
(ECP)". When the battery is empty, the machine
is switched off by means of a protective circuit:
The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Operating Instructions
Apply the power tool to the screw only
when it is switched off. Rotating tool inserts
can slip off.
Soft Grip
The gripping surface (soft grip) 5 reduces the
danger of slipping and thereby improves the
grip on the machine and the handling.
At the same time, the rubber coating achieves a
vibration-reducing effect.
Craftsman Case (see figure D)
The craftsman case 13 can hold the power tool,
the respective battery charger, a spare battery
and additional accessories. The craftsman case
13 can be hung up with the utility clip 12.
Tips
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.
2
/
of the screw length.

Maintenance and Cleaning
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.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
When the battery is no longer operative, please
refer to an authorised after-sales service agent
for Bosch power tools.
Always keep the tool holder 2 and the insert tool
clean to ensure the locking and releasing func-
tion of the locking sleeve3.
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 order,
please always include the 10-digit article
number given on the type plate of the machine.
