IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. The charger was designed to fast charge the battery only when the battery temperature is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). If the battery pack is too hot or too cold, the charger will not fast charge the battery. (This may happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy use). When the battery temperature returns to between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C), the charger will automatically begin charging.
2. A substantial drop in operating time per charge may mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of its life and should be replaced.
3. Remember to unplug charger during storage period.
base where it is always handy and unlikely to get lost or misplaced (Fig. 1).
Press the battery pack release button again and slide the battery pack completely out of tool housing (Fig. 8).
FIG. 8
4. If battery does not charge properly:
a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in
some other electrical device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a light switch which turns power “off” when lights are turned off.
c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt. Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging, take or send tool, battery pack and charger to your local Bosch Service Center. See “Tools, Electric” in the Yellow Pages for names and addresses.
Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not sold by Bosch will void the warranty.
CHARGER INDICATORS, SYMBOLS AND MEANING (Model BC630)
If the indicator lights are “OFF”, the charger is not receiving power from power supply outlet.
If the green indicator light is “ON”, the charger is plugged in but the battery pack is not inserted, or
the battery pack is fully charged.
If the green indicator light is “BLINKING”, the battery pack is
being fast-charged. Fast-charging will automatically stop when the battery pack is fully charged.
If the red indicator light is “ON”, the battery pack is too hot or cold
for fast-charging. The charger will automatically switch to fast-charging once a suitable temperature is reached.
If the red indicator light is
“BLINKING”, the battery pack
cannot accept a charge or the contacts of the charger or battery pack are contaminated. Clean the contacts of the charger or battery pack only as directed in these operating instructions or those supplied with your tool or battery pack.

CHARGING BATTERY PACK (Model BC630)
Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet.
With no battery pack inserted, the charger’s green indicator light will go ON. This indicates the charger is receiving power and the charger is ready for operation.
When you insert the battery pack into the charger. The charger’s green indicator light will begin to “BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is receiving a fast charge (Fig. 9).
When the indicator light stops “BLINKING” (and becomes a steady green light) fast charging is complete. The battery pack is fully charged and can be removed from the charger.
The battery pack may be used even though the light may still be blinking. The light may require more time to stop blinking depending on temperature.
The purpose of the green light is to indicate that the battery pack is fast-charging. It does not indicate the exact point of full charge. The light will stop blinking in less time if the battery pack was not completely discharged.
When you begin the charging process of the battery pack, a steady red light could also mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.
Fast charging is only possible when the temperature range of the battery pack is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). When needed, the internal fan of the charger will turn on to aid the charging process and speed.
As soon as the battery pack reaches the correct temperature range, the battery charger will automatically switch to fast charging.
If the red indicator light is “BLINKING”, the battery pack cannot accept a charge.
• Check to make sure the battery pack is
inserted into the charger properly.
• Clean the contacts of the charger or battery
pack (e. g. by inserting and removing the battery several times) or replace the battery pack, as required.
When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the charger (unless you're charging another battery pack) and slip the battery pack back into the tool.

Operating Tips
You will extend the life of your bits and do neater work if you always put the bit in contact with the work before pulling the t
rigger. During the operation, hold the tool firmly and exert light, steady pressure. Too much pressure at low speed will stall the tool. Too little pressure will keep the bit from cutting and cause excess friction by sliding over the surface. This can be damaging to both tool and bit.
DRILLING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
The trigger controlled variable speed feature will eliminate the need for center punches in hard materials. The variable speed trigger
allows you to slowly increase RPM. By using a slow starting speed, you are able to keep the bit from “wandering”. You can increase t
he speed as the bit “bites” into the work by
squeezing the trigger.
Variable speed drills will double as a power screwdriver by using a screwdriver bit in the drill mode. The technique is to start slowly, increasing the speed as the screw runs down. Set the screw snugly by slowing to a stop. Prior to driving screws, pilot and clearance holes should be drilled.
DRIVING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
FASTENING WITH SCREWS
This procedure shown in (Fig. 11) will enable you to fasten materials together with your Cordless Drill/Screwdriver without stripping, splitting or separating the material.
First, clamp the pieces together and drill the first hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. If the material is soft, drill only 2/3 the proper length. If it is hard, drill the entire length.
Second, unclamp the pieces and drill the second hole the same diameter as the screw shank in the first or top piece of wood.
Third, if flat head screw is used, countersink the hole to make the screw flush with the surface. Then, simply apply even pressure when driving the screw. The screw shank clearance hole in the first piece allows the screw head to pull the pieces tightly together.
The adjustable screw drill accessory will do all of these operations quickly and easily. Screw
DRILL BITS
Always inspect drill bits for excessive wear. Use only bits that are sharp and in good condition.
TWIST BITS: Available with straight and reduced shanks for wood and light duty metal drilling. High speed bits cut faster and last longer on hard materials.
CARBIDE TIPPED BITS: Used for drilling stone, concrete, plaster, cement and other
drills are available for screw sizes No. 6, 8, 10 and 12.
FASTENING WITH SCREWS
1. Drill 2/3 diameter and 2/3 of screw length for soft materials, full length for hard materials.
Screw
Apply a slight even pressure when driving screws.
2. Drill same diameter as screw shank.
3. Countersink same diameter as screw head.

DRILLING WOOD
Be certain workpiece is clamped or anchored firmly. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the drill bit. Maintain enough pressure to keep the drill “biting”.

When drilling holes in wood, twist bits can be used. Twist bits may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from flutes.
Use a “back-up” block of wood for work that is likely to splinter, such as thin materials.
You will drill a cleaner hole if you ease up on the pressure just before the bit breaks through the wood. Then complete the hole from the back side.
There are two rules for drilling hard materials. First, the harder the material, the greater the pressure you need to apply to the tool. Second, the harder the material, the slower the speed.
WARNING
!
safe operating speed is not exceeded by the nameplate speed of the tool. Do not exceed the recommended wheel diameter.
Fine sanding and polishing require “touch”. Select the most efficient speed.
When using polishing bonnets, always be sure the excess string that secures the bonnet is tucked well within the bonnet during operation.
Work with brushes requires high speeds.
1. Remember, the tips of a wire brush do the work. Operate the brush with the lightest pressure so only the tips of the wire come in contact with the work.
2. If heavier pressures are used, the wires will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping action; and if this is continued, the life of the brush will be shortened due to wire fatigue.
3. Apply the brush to the work in such a way that as much of the brush face as possible is in full contact with the work. Applying the side or edge of the brush to the work will

Here are a couple of tips for drilling in metal. Lubricate the tip of the bit occasionally with cutting oil except when drilling soft metals such as aluminum, copper or cast iron. If the hole to be drilled is fairly large, drill a smaller hole first, then enlarge to the required size, it’s often faster in the long run. Maintain enough p
ressure to assure that the bit does not just spin in the hole. This will dull the bit and greatly shorten its life.
Soft materials such as brick are relatively easy to drill. Concrete however, will require much more pressure to keep the bit from spinning. Be sure to use carbide tip bits for all masonry work.
result in wire breakage and shortened brush life.
INCORRECT: Excessive pressure can cause wire breakage.
Variable speed control must be used with caution for driving nuts and bolts with socket set attachments. The technique is to start slowly, increasing speed as the nut or bolt runs down. Set the nut or bolt snugly by slowing the drill to a stop. If this procedure is not followed, the tool will have a tendency to torque or twist in your hands when the nut or bolt seats.

Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated and is ready for use.
The motor in your tool has been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend it be examined every six months. Only a genuine Bosch replacement motor specially designed for your tool should be used.
The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service.
If your tool runs sporadically, loses power, makes unusual noises or runs at a reduced speed, check the brushes. To continue using the tool in this condition will permanently damage your tool.
Check both brushes. Usually the brushes will not wear out simultaneously. If one brush is worn out, replace both brushes.
To check brushes: Disconnect battery pack from tool. Remove brush cover at the rear part of housing by loosening screws (Fig. 12).
