Bosch GSB 19-2 RE Original Instructions Manual page 15

Screwdriving tools (see figure E)
You should always use a universal bit holder (16) when using
screwdriver bits (15). Only use screwdriver bits that fit the
screw head.
For screwdriving, make sure the "drilling/impact drilling" se-
lector switch (2) is always set to the "drilling" symbol.
Changing the drill chuck
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Removing the Drill Chuck (see figure F)
Remove the auxiliary handle and set the gear selector switch
(7) to the middle position between first and second gear.
Insert a steel pin with a diameter of 4 mm and a length of ap-
prox. 50 mm into the hole on the spindle collar to lock the
drill spindle in place.
Clamp a hex key (17) in the keyless chuck (1), leading with
the short shaft.
Place the power tool on a firm surface, e.g. a work bench.
Hold the power tool in place and loosen the keyless chuck
(1) by turning the hex key (17) in the rotational direction ➊.
A tightly seated keyless chuck is loosened with a light blow
on the long shaft of the hex key (17). Remove the hex key
from the keyless chuck and completely unscrew the keyless
chuck from the machine.
For power tools with a keyed chuck, removal is carried out as
described above.
For power tools with a keyless chuck, an open-ended span-
ner (width across flats 19 mm) can be mounted on the drill
chuck instead of the hex key (22).
Fitting the Drill Chuck (see figure G)
To assemble the keyless chuck, perform the same steps in
reverse order.
The drill chuck must be tightened using a tight-
ening torque of approx. 50–55 Nm.
After successfully fitting the drill chuck, remove the
u
steel pin from the hole again.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one's
health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci-
nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment ad-
ditives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the ma-
terials to be worked.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Bosch Power Tools
Operation
Starting Operation
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Setting the Rotational Direction (see figure H)
Only push the rotational direction switch (3) when the
u
power tool is not in use.
The rotational direction switch (3) is used to change the ro-
tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
sible while the on/off switch (6) is being pressed.
Clockwise rotation: To drill and drive in screws, slide the
rotational direction switch (3) downwards on the left-hand
side and upwards on the right-hand side at the same time.
Anti-clockwise rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and
nuts, slide the rotational direction switch (3) upwards on the
left-hand side and downwards on the right-hand side at the
same time.
Setting the Operating Mode
Drilling and screwdriving
Set the selector switch (2) to the "drilling"
symbol.
Impact drilling
Set the selector switch (2) to the "impact
drilling" symbol.
The selector switch (2) clicks into place and
can also be actuated when the motor is running.
Mechanical Gear Selection
You can press the gear selector switch (7) with the
u
power tool running at a low speed. You should not do
this at full load or maximum torque, or when the tool is
not in use, however.
You can preselect two speed ranges with the gear selector
(7).
First gear:
Low speed range; for working with a large
drilling diameter or for screwdriving.
Second gear:
High speed range; for working with a small
drilling diameter.
If the gear selector (7) cannot be swivelled all the way to the
stop, turn the drive spindle slightly with the drill.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(6).
Press the lock-on button (4) to lock the on/off switch (6) in
this position.
