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
Grounded tools must be plugged into an
outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding
prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the tools should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user. Improper
grounding can shock, burn or electrocute.
Grounded tools are equipped with three
conductor cord and three prong type plugs.
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.
Combination 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.
BM 1619929548 2/03 2/12/03 12:37 PM Page 3
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.
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.
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
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.
When the power cord is unplugged from
the mains outlet or when branch-circuit
power is interrupted, the electronic
controller will automatically reset the tool
to maximum speed and impact force.
Unexpected starting at maximum operating
speed and impact force could startle the
operator and lead to potential injury.
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 chemically-
treated 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 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 pressure to
decrease speed (Fig. 1).
Your tool is also equipped with a "Lock-ON"
feature when the selector dial is in the
Hammering Only mode which allows
continuous operation without holding the
trigger.
TO LOCK TOOL “ON”: turn the selector dial
to the Hammering Only mode and squeeze
the trigger switch until it locks.
TO TURN TOOL: “OFF“ press the trigger
release switch and the trigger will return to
the “OFF” position automatically.
To increase switch life, do not turn switch on
and off while tool is under load.
AUTO-MAX ™
The patented Bosch Auto-Max system
insures that each time your tool is plugged in
and receiving power, it will operate at
maximum speed and impact force.
When the power cord is
unplugged from the mains
outlet or when branch-circuit power is
interrupted, the electronic controller will
automatically reset the tool to maximum
speed and impact force. Unexpected
starting at maximum operating speed and
impact force could startle the operator and
lead to potential injury.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
dial. The speed and impact force can be
adjusted by rotating the dial. Higher speeds
and impact force work best for faster
penetration when drilling or chiseling in hard
masonry material. Slower speeds work best
to reduce breakout when bits exit material

being drilled or chiseling material such as
plaster or tile.
Regardless of the pressure applied on the
trigger, the tool will not operate any faster than
maximum speed setting selected.
"TURBO" FEATURE
In the "Hammer Only" mode power is
automatically increased 20% when the tool
is turned on to provide maximum chiselling
performance.
CONSTANT RESPONSE CIRCUITRY
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.
SELECTOR LEVER
The selector lever allows the tool to be set
for various applications as listed in the
following chart, (Fig. 4).
When using demolition or chipping bits such
as bull points, chisels, spades, gouges, etc.
the “Hammer Only” mode must be selected.
SELECTOR LEVER - “VARIO-LOCK”
The vario-lock can be set in any one of twelve
positions (30˚ increments). Choose a position
which is best suited for your operation. The
Vario-Lock position is intended for use with
chipping bits such as bull points, spades,
gouges, etc.
Turn the selector lever, to the “vario-lock”
setting. Next, rotate the locking sleeve,
along with the accessory, to the desired
position. Then turn the selector lever to the
“hammer only” setting and slightly turn the
locking sleeve to have it automatically lock
into a definite position.
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.
POWER INDICATOR LIGHT
When you plug your tool into the power
source, the power indicator light will go
“ON” indicating the tool is receiving power.

"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 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 combination 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.

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
After about 300-400 hours of operation, or at
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.
REPLACEMENT OF CORD AND
CARBON BRUSHES
Your tool is designed to provide a qualified
service technician optimal access to replace
the carbon brushes and the cord. This
provides the service technician the ability to
replace these components without the need
of disassembling the entire tool housing.
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
and solvents damage
plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household
detergents that contain ammonia.
