– At a temperature above 90 °C, the electronics
of the power tool switch off until the temper-
ature is within the allowable temperature
range again.

Working Instructions

Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only
when it is switched off. Rotating tool inserts
can slip off.
Soft Grip
The gripping surface (soft grip) 4 reduces the
danger of slipping and thereby improves the grip
on the machine and the handling.
At the same time, the rubber coating achieves a
vibration-reducing effect.
Tips
After longer periods of working at low speed, al-
low the machine to cool down by running it for
approx. 3 minutes at maximum speed with no
load.
For drilling in metal, use only perfectly sharp-
ened HSS drill bits (HSS = High Speed Steel).
The appropriate quality is guaranteed by the
Bosch accessories program.
Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard
materials, it is advisable to predrill a pilot hole
with the core diameter of the thread to approx.
2
/ of the screw length.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature
range between 0 °C and 45 °C. As an example,
do not leave the battery in the car in summer.
Occasionally clean the battery venting slots using
a soft, clean and dry brush.
A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the battery is used and
must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine (e. g., main-
tenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, remove the battery
from the power tool. Unintentional actuation
of the On/Off switch can lead to injuries.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the power tool and the ventilation slots
clean.
If the power tool should fail despite the care tak-
en in manufacturing and testing procedures, re-
pair should be carried out by an after-sales ser-
vice center for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders,
please always include the 10-digit article number
given on the type plate of the power tool.
Replacing the Carbon Brushes (see figure H)
When the carbon brushes are worn, the power
tool switches off automatically. For replacement
of the carbon brushes, unscrew the screws of the
cover lids 18 and remove the cover lids 18. Insert
a screwdriver or similar into the notch of the
brush holder 19 and carefully pry it out. Remove
the used carbon brushes and replace them. The
new carbon brushes can also be inserted when
turned by 180°. Lightly press the inserted carbon
brushes downward until they can be clearly
heard to engage. Afterwards mount the cover lids
18 again.
