OBJ_BUCH-149-002.book Page 5 Wednesday, April 19, 2006 8:15 AM
Adjusting the Speed
The speed of the switched on power tool can be varia-
bly adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch
13 is pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 13 results in a low
rotational speed. Further pressure on the switch results
in an increase in speed.
Run-on Brake
When the On/Off switch 13 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 release the On/Off
switch 13. By doing so, the head of the screw does not
penetrate into the material.
Operating Instructions
Apply the power tool to the screw only when
it is switched off.
Soft Grip
The gripping surface (soft grip) 7 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 vibra-
tion-reducing effect.
Replacing the Drill Chuck
For machines without spindle lock, the drill chuck must
be replaced through an authorized after-sales service
agent for Bosch power tools.
The drill chuck must be tightened with a
tightening torque of approx. 30–35 Nm.
Tips
After longer periods of working at low speed, allow 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 sharpened HSS
drill bits (HSS=high-speed steel). The appropriate
quality is guaranteed by the Bosch accessories pro-
gram.
Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard mate-
rials, it is advisable to predrill a pilot hole with the core
diameter of the thread to approx.
length.

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, set the rotational
direction switch to the centre position. Unin-
tentional actuation of the On/Off switch can lead to
injuries.
For safe and proper working, always keep the
machine and ventilation slots clean.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in man-
ufacturing 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.
