Tips
Torque rods have shanks with precisely calibrat-
ed, reduced diameters. Thus, they act torque-lim-
iting. A torque rod is placed between the impact
wrench and the bit.
Rule of thumb for the application: Core diameter
of the screw/bolt = effective diameter of the
torque rod. The impact duration is to be deter-
mined through practical testing.
The thumbwheel 2 must be set to max.
For hanging up, a suspension hook 1 is mounted
at the machine's centre of gravity.
At temperatures below the freezing point, run
the machine for approx. 3 minutes at no-load to
improve its lubricating capacity.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
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.
In all correspondence and spare parts order,
please always include the 10-digit article number
