Removing the Battery
The battery 8 is equipped with two locking levels
that should prevent the battery from falling out
when pushing the battery unlocking button 7 un-
intentionally. As long as the battery is inserted in
the power tool, it is held in position by means of
a spring.
To remove the battery 8, press the unlocking but-
ton 7 and pull out the battery toward the front.
Do not exert any force.
Auxiliary Handle (GSR 18 VE-2 LI/
GSB 18 VE-2 LI) (see figure A)
Operate your machine only with the auxiliary
handle 5.
The auxiliary handle 5 can be set to any position
for a secure and low-fatigue working posture.
Turn the bottom part of the auxiliary handle 5 in
counterclockwise direction and swivel the auxil-
iary handle 5 to the desired position. Then
retighten the bottom part of the auxiliary handle
5 by turning in clockwise direction.
The clamping band 12 of the auxiliary handle
must be seated in the corresponding groove.
Changing the Tool (see figure B)
Before any work on the machine (e. g., main-
tenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, set the rotational di-
rection switch to the centre position. Unin-
tentional actuation of the On/Off switch can
lead to injuries.
The drill spindle is locked when the On/Off
switch 11 is not pressed. This makes quick, con-
venient and easy changing of the tool in the drill
chuck possible.
Bosch Power Tools
Open the keyless chuck 1 by turning in rotation
direction , until the tool can be inserted. Insert
the tool.
Firmly tighten the collar of the keyless chuck 1 by
hand in rotation direction
tion ("click") is no longer heard. This automati-
cally locks the chuck.
The locking is released again to remove the tool
when the collar is turned in the opposite direc-
tion.
Replacing the Drill Chuck
Before any work on the machine (e. g., main-
tenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, set the rotational di-
rection switch to the centre position. Unin-
tentional actuation of the On/Off switch can
lead to injuries.
Removing the Securing Screw (see figure C)
The keyless chuck 1 is secured with a securing
screw 14 against unintentional loosening from
the drill spindle. Completely open the keyless
chuck 1 and unscrew the securing screw 14 in ro-
tation direction . Please note that the securing
screw has a left-hand thread.
Removing the Drill Chuck (see figure D)
Clamp the short end of an Allen key 15 into the
keyless chuck 1.
Place the machine on a stable surface (e. g. a
workbench). Hold the machine firmly and loosen
the keyless chuck 1 by turning the Allen key 15 in
rotation direction . Loosen a tight-seated key-
less chuck by giving the long end of the Allen key
15 a light blow. Remove the Allen key from the
keyless chuck and completely unscrew the key-
less chuck.
Mounting the Drill Chuck (see figure E)
The keyless chuck is mounted in reverse order.
The drill chuck must be tightened with a
tightening torque of approx. 15–25 Nm.
Screw the securing screw 14 in anti-clockwise di-
rection into the opened keyless chuck, tightening
torque approx. 2.5–3.5 Nm. Always use a new se-
curing screw, as the threads are covered with a
thread-locking compound that loses its effect af-
ter multiple usage.
