For long hair, wear hair protection.
Work only with closely fitting clothes.
Wear ear protection.
Wear safety goggles.
Insert the mains plug only when
the machine is switched off.
Always direct the cable to the rear away
3
from the machine.
When drilling use the auxiliary handle.
3
Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces
3
when performing an operation where thecut-
ting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
Do not work materials containing asbestos.
3
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
Take protective measures when dust can
3
develop during working that is harmful to
one's health, combustible or explosive.
Example: Some dusts are regarded as car-
cinogenic. Wear a dust mask and work with
dust/chip extraction when connectable.
If the drilling tool jams it will cause the tool
3
to jolt. If this occurs switch the tool off
immediately.
When working with the machine, always
3
hold it firmly with both hands and provide
for a secure stance.
Be careful when screwing in long screws; dan-
3
ger of sliding off. (GSB 13 RE and GSB 16 RE)
For screws, work using the first gear or with
3
a low speed. (GSB 13 RE and GSB 16 RE)
Place the machine on the screw/nut only when
3
switched off. (GSB 13 RE and GSB 16 RE)
Always switch off the machine and allow to
3
come to a stop before placing it down.
Never allow children to use the machine.
3
Bosch is only able to ensure perfect
3
functioning of the machine if the original
accessories intended for it are used.
Auxiliary handle
When drilling use the auxiliary handle 9.
Depending on the application, the auxiliary
handle can be adjustable in different positions.

the depth stop 10 in the auxiliary handle and
to adjust the according to your necessity.
Inserting the accessory
Key type chuck (fig. A)
3
Open the chuck wide enough so that the tool
can be inserted.
Insert the accessory and tighten all 3 bores
equally with the chuck key.
Caution! The chuck may be very hot:
During longer working periods, espe-
cially when impact drilling, the chuck can
become very hot. In this case we recom-
mend wearing protective gloves.
Screwdriver Tools (fig.B)
3
When using screwdriver bits 13, a bit holder
14 should always be used. Use only the
screwdriver bits that fit the screw head.
Set selector switch 2 to the drill symbol for
the screwing function.
Initial operation
Do not drill, fasten or cut into blind areas
where electric, gas or water lines may exist.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
these lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance.
Contacting electric lines may cause fire or
electric shock.
Striking a gas line will probably result in explo-
sion. Breaking into a water pipe will cause prop-
erty damage or may cause an electric shock.
Check for correct mains voltage: The
voltage of the power source must agree with
the voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine.

STEPLESS SPEED CONTROL (GSB 13 RE
3
and GSB 16 RE)
The machine runs with variable speed
between 0 and maximum depending on the
pressure applied to the On/Off switch 4.
