The declared vibration emission level represents the main ap-
plications 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 significantly in-
crease the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signif-
icantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep hands warm, organise work patterns.

We declare under our sole responsibility that the product de-
scribed under "Technical Data" is in conformity with the fol-

Battery Charging

 Use only the battery chargers listed on the accessories
page. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lith-
ium ion battery of your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The Lithium-Ion battery is protected against deep discharging
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.
 Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature control
which allows charging only within a temperature range of be-
tween 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery service life is achieved
in this manner.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Bosch Power Tools
Removing the battery
The battery 9 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button 10 unintentionally. As long as the battery is
inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a
spring.
To remove the battery 9, press the unlocking button 10 and
pull out the battery toward the front. Do not exert any force.
Changing the Tool (see figure A)
 Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
Pull off the screwing-depth stop 4 toward the front. Pull out
the screwdriver bit 1. If required, the universal bit holder 13
can also be pulled off and replaced.
After changing the tool, reattach the screwing-depth stop 4.
Operation

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery
 Use only original Bosch lithium ion batteries with the
voltage listed on the nameplate of your power tool. Us-
ing other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire haz-
ard.
Note: Use of batteries not suitable for the machine can lead to
malfunctions of or cause damage to the power tool.
Set the rotational direction switch 5 to the centre position in
order to avoid unintentional starting. Insert the charged bat-
tery 9 into the handle so that it can be felt to engage and faces
flush against the handle.
Reversing the rotational direction
The rotational direction switch 5 is used to reverse the rota-
tional direction of the machine. However, this is not possible
with the On/Off switch 7 actuated.
Rotate clockwise: Move the rotational direction switch 5
on both sides up to the stop into position
Rotate anticlockwise: Move the rotational direction
switch 5 on both sides up to the stop into position
