General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or 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 children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
us e a ny adapter pl ug s with earthe d
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
Do not 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
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of
an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
us e co mmon sense w hen opera ting a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
sw itch is in th e o ff-po sitio n b efore
connecting to power source and / or battery
pa ck, picki ng up or carrying the t ool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
co ntrol of the power to ol in unexpe ct ed
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not forc e the power to ol. Use the
correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
ca nn ot be co nt ro ll ed wi th th e swi tc h is
dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use.
Ma ny acci de nt s a re caus ed by poorly
maintained power tools.
Safety Rules for Drills
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by in sul ate d gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidde n wiring or i ts own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring ma y ex ist. If this s it ua tion is
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
Always wea r s af ety gogg le s o r e ye
protection when using this tool. Use a
dust mask or respirator for applications
which generate dust.
Secure the material being drilled. Never
hold i t in yo ur hand or ac ro ss legs.
Unstable support can cause the drill bit to
bind causing loss of control and injury.
Ne ve r leave the tr ig ge r locked "O N" .
Before plugging the tool in, check that the
trigger lock is "OFF". Accidental start-ups
could cause injury.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
re pa ir person using o nl y id en ti ca l
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Position the cord clear of rotating bit. Do
not wrap the cord around your arm or
wrist. If you lose control and have the cord
wrapped around your arm or wrist it may
entrap you and cause injury.
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 b it be comes b ou nd in the
workpie ce , release the tr ig ger
im mediately , revers e the dir ection of
rotation and slowly squeeze the trigger to
back out the bit. Be ready for a strong
reaction torque. The drill body will tend to
twist in the opposite direction as the drill bit is
rotating.
Do not grasp the tool or place your hands
too close to the spinning chuck or drill
bit. Your hand may be lacerated.
Do not use the switch "Lock-ON" feature
in situ ations where dr ill bit bind ing is
likely. (For example: just before the bit is
re ady t o b re ak th ro ugh t he ma te rial,
anytime when using a "Hole Saw", auger
bits........ etc.) When the bit binds, the drill's
bo dy wi ll twist or ki ck -b ac k in opposi te
direction and the release of the trigger "LockON" may be difficult.
Be aware of the location and setting of
the switch "Lock-ON" button. If the switch

is locked "ON" during the use, be ready for
emergency situations to switch it "OFF", by
first pul ling the trigger then immediately
releasing it without pressing the "Lock-ON"
button.
When installing a drill bit, insert the shank
of th e bit we ll wi th in th e jaws of the
chuck. If th e bi t is no t inse rt ed dee p
enough, the grip of the jaws over the bit is
reduced and the loss of control is increased.
Do not use dul l or da ma ged 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 w ith s ki n and u se prope r
protective gloves when grasping the bit
or accessory. Accessories may be hot after
prolonged use.
Check to see tha t keys and adj ustin g
wr en ch es ar e r em oved from the dr il l
Additional Safety Warnings
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stab le
platform. Holding the work by hand or against
your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
th e tool since inter nal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
sp rings ma y be impro perly mo unted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, a mmonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
before switching the tool "ON". Keys or
wr en ch es ca n fly away at h ig h vel oc it y
striking you or a bystander.
Do not run the drill while carrying it at
your side. A spinning drill bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may result.
This tool may be used with sanding and
polishing disks, grin ding wheels, wire
wheel and wire cup br us he s. Th es e
accessories must be rated for at least the
speed recommended on the tool warning
label. Wheels a nd other ac ce ssori es
running over rated speed can fly apart and
cause injury.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheels,
discs or brushes especially when working
corners, sharp edges, etc. This can cause
loss of control and kickback.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only
be serviced by a Bosch Factory Service Center
or Autho rized Bosch Service Station.

Operating Instructions
TRIGGER CONTROLLED VARIABLE SPEED
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool speed can be controlled
from minimum to maximum nameplate rated
RPM by the pressure you apply to the trigger.
Apply more pressure to increase the speed and
release pres sure to decrease speed (Fig. 1).
Your tool is also equipped with a “Lock-ON”
button located on the left side of the trigger
handle that allows for operation at maximum
RPM without holding the trigger (Fig. 1).
TO LOCK TRIGGER "ON": squeeze trigger,
depress button and release trigger.
TO UNLOCK THE TRIGGER: squeeze trigger
and release it without depressing the "LockON" button.
!
the trigger can not be released.
For small bits, open jaws enough to insert the
bit up to the flutes. For large bits, insert the bit
as far as it will go. Center the bit as you close
th e ja ws b y hand. Th is p ositi ons the bi t
properly, giving maximum contact between the
chuck jaws and the bit shank.
To tighten, hold the chuck collar firmly with one
hand and securely tighten the chuck sleeve
with the other hand (Fig. 2).

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 trigger. During
the oper a tion, 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 “wander ing”. You can increase the
speed as the bit “bites” into the work b y
squeezing the trigger.

DRIVING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
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 snug ly by slowing to a stop. Prior
to driving screws, pilot and clearance holes
should be drilled.
FASTENING WITH SCREWS
The procedure shown in (Fig. 3) will enable
you to fasten materials together with your
hammer dr il l in the dril l mo de with ou t
stripping, splitting or sepa rating the material.
First, clamp the pieces together and drill the
first hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. If the
mater ial is soft, drill on ly 2 /3 t he p roper
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
DRILL BITS
Always inspect drill bits for excessive wear.
Use only bits that are sharp and in good
condition.
TWIST B ITS: Available with straight a nd
reduced shanks for wood and light duty metal
drilling. High speed bits cut faster and last
longer on hard ma terials.
CARBIDE TIPPED BITS: Used for drilling
stone, con crete, plaster, cement and other
unusually hard nonmetals. Use continuous
heavy feed pres sure when employing carbide
tip bits.
DRILLING WOOD
Be certain workpiece is clamped or anchored
firm ly. 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.
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 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.

Drill
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.
DRILLING METAL
There are two rules for drilling hard materials.
First, the harder the material, the greater the
pres sure you need to apply to the tool. Second,
the harder the material, the slower the speed.
Here are a couple of tips for drilling in metal.
Lubri cate the tip of the bit occasionally with
cutting oil except when drilling soft metals such
as alu minum, cop per 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
fa ster in the long run. Main tain enough
pressure to assure that the bit does not just
spin in the hole. This will dull the bit and greatly
shorten its life.
DRILLING MASONRY
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.

Operating Tips — cont.
WARNING
!
safe operating speed is not exceeded by the
nameplate speed of the tool. Do not exceed
the recommended wheel diameter.
You will find the “Lock-ON” button feature a
convenience for the continuous operation
required for rough sanding. Fine sanding and
polishing re quire “touch”. Select the most
efficient speed.
When using polishing bonnets, alway be sure
the excess string that secures the bonnet is
tucked well within the bonnet during operation.
Work with brushes requires high speeds. Use
of the “Lock-ON” button feature will provide a
much easier operation.
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
result in wire breakage and shortened brush
life.
CORRECT: Wire tips doing the work.
INCORRECT: Excessive pressure can cause wire breakage.
RUNNING NUTS AND BOLTS
Variable speed control must be used with
caution for driving nuts and bolts with socket
set attach ments. 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.
