Power Tool Safety Rules

	!	WARNING	Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
			listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
			SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double Insulation

eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. Before plugging in the tool, be certain the outlet voltage supplied is within the voltage marked on the nameplate. Do not use “AC only” rated tools with a DC power supply.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. If operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter must be used to supply the power to your tool. Electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety.

Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A"

or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. Refer to “Recommended sizes of Extension Cords” in the Accessory section of this manual.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is “OFF” before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch “ON” invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool “ON”. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in a dangerous condition.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

Service

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. For example: internal wires may be misplaced or pinched, safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted.

When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.

Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.

Rotary Hammer Safety Rules

Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or it own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.

Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.

Use a metal detector to determine if there are gas or water pipes hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance before beginning the operation.

Striking or cutting into a gas line will result in explosion. Water entering an electrical device may cause electrocution.

Always use the side handle for maximum control over torque reaction or kick-back. Never attempt to operate this tool with one

hand. The slip clutch engages if you firmly control the tool during a torque reaction or kickback.

Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for applications which generate dust. Safety goggles or eye protection will help deflect fragments of the material that may be thrown toward your face and eyes. Dust generated or gases released from the material you are cutting (i.e. asbestos insulated pipes, radon) may cause respiratory difficulties.

Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the exposure time by taking frequent rest periods. Vibration caused by hammer-drill action may be harmful to your hands and arms.

Position the cord clear of rotating bit. Do not wrap the cord around your arm or wrist. If cord becomes entangled with the spinning bit it could entrap you causing serious personal injury.

BM 1619929219 2/03 2/12/03 8:21 AM Page 4

Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool or side handle and walls or posts. Should the bit become bound or jammed in the work, the reaction torque of the tool could crush your hand or leg.

If the bit becomes bound in the workpiece, release the trigger immediately, reverse the direction of rotation and slowly squeeze the trigger to back out the bit. Be ready for a strong reaction torque. The hammer body will tend to twist in the opposite direction as the bit is rotating. (Note use only if your tool has reversing feature.)

Do not strike the bit with a handheld hammer or sledge hammer when attempting to dislodge a bound or jammed bit. Fragments of metal from the bit could dislodge and strike you or bystanders.

Never place the tool down until the bit or accessory have come to a complete stop.

Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. Dull or damaged bits have a greater tendency to bind in the workpiece.

When removing the bit from the tool avoid contact with skin and use proper protective

-4-

gloves when grasping the bit or accessory.

Accessories may be hot after prolonged use.

Do not run the tool while carrying it at your side. The spinning drill bit may become entangled with clothing and injury may result.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction

activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•Lead from lead-based paints,

•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

•Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Operating Instructions

TRIGGER "ON-OFF" SWITCH

To turn the tool “ON” squeeze the trigger switch. To turn the tool “OFF”, release the trigger switch, which is spring loaded and will return to the “OFF” position automatically.

To increase switch life, do not turn switch on and off while tool is under load.

VARIABLE SPEED DIAL

Your tool is equipped with a variable speed dial. The impact rate (BPM) and rotating speed (RPM) can be varied according to the type of work being performed by setting the variable speed dial to the selected setting. The chart below will help you to determine which setting to use for your application. However, a pre-test will determine the best speed setting, as the chart is intended only as a guide. Once the proper setting is determined the impact rate and rotating speed is kept constant by means of the "Electronic Feedback Circuitry". The variable speed dial can be adjusted while the motor is running with the tool free from work, allowing the operator to adjust the impact rate and rotating speed according to the actual application.

Chipping (Demolition)

Area of application	Control setting
Plaster work	1 - 2
Removing tiles	3
Brick work	4
Concrete	5 - 6
Drilling Holes
Lower speeds	Higher speeds
Larger holes	Smaller holes
Accurate starts	Faster penetration
Minimize breakouts
when the bit exits
the material.

ELECTRONIC FEEDBACK

CIRCUITRY (EFC)

The internal electronic feedback system provides a "soft start", which will reduce the stresses that occur from a high torque start.

The system also helps to keep the preselected impact rate and rotating speed virtually constant between no-load and load conditions.

INSTALLING ACCESSORIES

Clean the insert shank end of the accessory to remove any debris, then lightly grease with a light oil or lubricant.

Insert accessory into the tool holder through the dust shield, while twisting and pushing inward until it locks automatically into place. Pull outward on the acessory to be certain it is locked into the tool holder (fig. 2).

NOTE: You may notice some “wobble” or “run out” of the bit when run in a no load condition. This is due to the quick change SDS tool holder assembly. However, once the bit has a load placed upon it, the bit automatically centers itself to produce an accurate hole.

NOTE: The high efficiency available from the rotary hammers can only be obtained if sharp and undamaged accessories are used. The "cost" to maintain sharp and undamaged accessories is more than offset by the "time saved" in operating the tool with sharp accessories.

REMOVING ACCESSORIES

! WARNING Accessories may be hot after use. Avoid contact

with skin and use proper protective gloves or cloth to remove.

To remove an accessory, pull and hold locking sleeve backward and pull bit forward. All accessories should be wiped clean after removing.

SELECTOR DIAL

The selector dial allows the tool to be set for various applications as listed in the following chart, (Fig. 3).

When using demolition or chipping bits such as bull points, chisels, spades, gouges, etc. the “Hammer Only” mode must be selected.

= drilling only: used for... drilling wood, steel, etc.

= drilling/hammering: used for... drilling concrete

= hammering only: used for... light chipping work

= vario-lock:

allows for 36 desired positions of “hammer” accessories

SELECTOR DIAL - “VARIO-LOCK”

Adjusting the Vario-Lock: The vario-lock can be set in any one of thirty-six (10˚ increments) positions. Choose a position which is best suited for your operation.

Depress release button and turn the selector dial, to the “vario-lock” setting. Next, rotate the locking sleeve, along with the accessory, to the desired position. Then turn the selector dial to the “hammer only” setting and slightly turn the locking sleeve to have it automatically lock into a definite position.

QUICK CHANGE SDS TOOL-HOLDER

This tool features a removable tool holder which allows a rapid change from the SDS tool holder, which is

standard equipment, to optional accessory tool holders.

To remove the SDS tool holder assembly, rotate the locking sleeve in the rotational direction of the bit (clockwise) until it

-8-

stops. When the locking sleeve stops, pull the whole SDS tool holder assembly outward until it pulls free from the tool’s spindle mount.

To install an optional accessory tool holder or re-install the SDS tool holder, align the steel balls inside the accessory with the grooves in the front of the tool’s spindle mount. Next rotate the accessorie’s locking sleeve in the rotational direction of the bit (clockwise) until it stops. When the locking sleeve stops, release it and the accessory tool holder will automatically rotate back and lock itself into place.

SLIP CLUTCH

The tool has a internal pre-set slip clutch. The output spindle will stop rotating if the accessory binds and overloads the tool.

AUXILIARY HANDLE

The tool must be supported with the auxiliary handle, which can be swiveled 360˚. To reposition and/or swivel the handle, loosen the hand grip, move the handle to the desired position along the barrel and securely retighten the hand grip.

DEPTH GAUGE

Your drilling depth can be pre-set and/or repeated by using the depth gauge.

Setting depth: After the auxiliary handle is installed, slide the depth gauge to desired depth and securely tighten wing knob.

TOOL TIPS

For the best penetration rates in concrete, run the tool with a steady pressure, but do not use excessive force as this will decrease the efficiency of the tool.

All grease packed hammers require a short period of time to warm up. Depending on the room temperature, this time may vary from approximately 15 seconds (90˚F) to 2 minutes (32˚F). A new hammer requires a break-in period before full performance is realized. This period may require up to 5 hours of operation.

A rotary hammer is likely to be the most expensive portable tool at the construction job. The long wear and efficient operation of the BOSCH hammers will more than justify the cost for tools of this type. As earlier pointed out, sharp accessories as well as clean air vents are necessary for efficient operation. Establish and follow a set maintenance program.

Maintenance

Service

Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing

of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by a Bosch Factory Service Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station.

SERVICE REMINDER LIGHT

When the service reminder light lights up or blinks, this will indicate that the cut-out carbon brushes will switch off the tool in approximately 8 hours. After that period, the light will go off and the tool will stop running. The tool must then be sent to a service center for service.

TOOL LUBRICATION

Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated and is ready to use. It is recommended that tools with gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant at every brush change.

CARBON BRUSHES

The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend every two to six months the brushes be examined. Only genuine Bosch replacement

brushes specially designed for your tool should be used.

BEARINGS

Every second brush change, the bearings should be replaced at Bosch Factory Service Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station. Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy load or very abrasive material cutting) should be replaced at once to avoid overheating or motor failure.

Cleaning

To avoid accidents always disconnect the tool from the power supply before cleaning or

performing any maintenance. The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.

Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.

Certain cleaning agents ! CAUTION and solvents damage

plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.

Accessories

If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors that is capable

of carrying the current necessary for your tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. Grounded tools must use 3- wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.

NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
