Depth Control; Depth Adjustment - Bosch GTB18V-45 Operating/Safety Instructions Manual

Depth Control

The depth adjusting sleeve (3) should
be adjusted so that the drywall screw is
set slightly below the drywall surface.

Depth Adjustment

Your driver will continue to drive as long
as enough pressure is applied to the bit
(1) to keep the clutch engaged. The
depth adjusting sleeve (3), upon
contacting the work, prevents further
pressure on the bit. Driving then stops
regardless of pressure continued by the
operator (Fig. 12).
1. Rotate the depth adjusting sleeve
(3) until the depth stop reaches the
desired position.
2. Before beginning, always test-drive a
sample screw into a piece of scrap
installation material to check desired
depth setting.

Xtend Drive
The Xtend Drive mode allows the tool to
lock-on without running the motor until
pressure is placed on the bit tip. This
can help save battery life as well as
reduce the amount of noise during use.
1. Activate the Xtend Drive by pressing
the Xtend Drive on/off button (13)
on the foot of the tool (Fig. 1, Fig
13). This will light up the Xtend Drive
on/off indicator light (14) at the foot
of the tool (Fig. 1, Fig. 13). If the
light is on, then the Xtend Drive is
activated.

ON" button (6) (Fig. 8 and Fig. 9).
3. Press the bit tip to the workpiece.
The clutch becomes engaged and
the motor will activate once
pressure is placed on the bit tip.
4. To turn off the Xtend drive, push the
trigger (7) to disengage the "Lock-
ON" button (6) (Fig. 8). Then press
the Xtend Drive on/off button (13),
and the indicator light (14) will turn
off (Fig. 13). If the tool is unused for
30 minutes, the tool will go in sleep
mode and the Xtend Drive on/off
indicator light (14) will automatically
go out.
5. To re-activate the Xtend Drive,
release the trigger (7). Then pull the
trigger (7) again and set the "Lock-
ON" button (6) (Fig. 8). This will
light up the Xtend Drive on/off
indicator light (14) again.
