Gear Shifting - Bosch GSR18V-800C Operating/Safety Instructions Manual

Variable Speed Controlled
Trigger Switch
(Fig. 1)
Your tool is equipped with a Variable Speed
Trigger Switch 11. The tool can be turned "ON"
or "OFF" by squeezing or releasing the trigger.
The speed can be adjusted from the minimum
to maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure
you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to
increase the speed and release pressure to de-
crease speed.
Forward/Reversing Lever &
Trigger Lock
(Fig. 5)
After tool use, lock trigger
in "OFF" position to help
prevent accidental starts and accidental dis-
charge.
Do not change direction of
rotation until the tool comes
to a complete stop. Shifting during rotation of
the chuck can cause damage to the tool.
Your tool is equipped with a Forward/Reversing
Lever and Trigger Lock 10 located above the trig-
ger. This lever was designed for changing direc-
tion of rotation of the bit, and for locking the
trigger in an "OFF" position.
For forward rotation, (with chuck pointed away
from you) move the lever to the far left.
For reverse rotation, move the lever to the far
right.
To activate trigger lock, move lever to the cen-
ter off position.

Gear Shifting

(Fig. 6)
Your tool is equipped with two separate gear
ranges, low gear 1 and high gear 2. Low gear
provides high-torque and slower drilling speeds
for heavy duty work or for driving screws. High
gear provides faster speeds for drilling lighter
work. To change speeds, slide the Gear Shifter 4
to the high 2 or low position 1.
