This enables screws to be screwed in, even
when the battery is empty and allows for the
machine to be used as a screwdriver.
Run-on Brake
When the On/Off switch 11 is released, the
chuck brakes to a stop, thus preventing the run-
on of the tool.
When driving in screws, wait until the screw is
screwed in flush with the material and then re-
lease the On/Off switch 11. By doing so, the
head of the screw does not penetrate into the
material.
Temperature Dependent Overload Protection
When using as intended for, the power tool can-
not be subject to overload. When the load is too
high or the allowable battery temperature of
70 °C is exceeded, the electronic control
switches off the power tool until the tempera-
ture is in the optimum temperature range again.
Working Advice
Apply the power tool to the screw only
when it is switched off. Rotating tool inserts
can slip off.
When the power tool is electrostatically
charged, the built-in electronic control switches
it off. To restart the power tool, press the
On/Off switch 11 again.
Note: Pay attention that no metal particles enter
the power tool.
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 venting slots of the bat-
tery 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 itself (e. g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, remove the
battery from the power tool. There is danger
of injury when unintentionally actuating the
On/Off switch.
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 given on the type plate of the machine.
Replacing the Carbon Brushes (see figure F)
The power tool stops automatically when the
carbon brushes are used. For replacing the car-
bon brushes, loosen the two screws in the cover
lid 18 and take off the cover lid 18. Place a
screwdriver or a similar tool into the clip of the
brush holder 17 and lever it out with caution.
Take out the used brushes and replace them.
The new brushes can also be mounted turned by
180 degrees. Press the mounted brushes slight-
ly down until they engage audibly. Then replace
the cover lid 18 again.
