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
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords may create a fire.
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may
be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use
of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
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.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with 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 enable 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. A tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position 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.

General Safety Rules -
For All Battery Operated Tools
Safety Rules for Cordless Hammer Drills
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
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 shock or injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its 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.
Always use auxiliary handle for maximum control over torque reaction or kick-back.
High torque 3/8" and larger chuck capacity drills are equipped with auxiliary handles.
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for applications which generate dust.
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.
Secure the material being drilled. Never hold it in your hand or across legs.
Unstable support can cause the drill bit to bind causing loss of control and injury.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any assembly, adjustments or changing accessories.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
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 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.
When installing a drill bit, insert the shank of the bit well within the jaws of the

When batteries are not in tool or charger, keep them
away from metal objects. For example, to
protect terminals from shorting DO NOT place batteries in a tool box or pocket with nails, screws, keys, etc. Fire or injury may result.
To prevent fire or injury when batteries are not in
tool or charger, always place protective cap onto end of battery pack. Protective
cap, guards against terminal shorting.
DO NOT PUT BATTERIES INTO FIRE OR EXPOSE TO HIGH HEAT. They may
explode.
Do not attempt to disas­semble the battery or
remove any component projecting from the battery terminals. Fire or injury may
result. Prior to disposal, protect exposed terminals with heavy insulating tape to prevent shorting.

chuck. If the bit is not inserted deep
enough, the grip of the jaws over the bit is reduced and the loss of control is increased.
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.
Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the drill before switching the tool "ON". Keys or
wrenches can fly away at high velocity striking you or a bystander.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at your side. A spinning drill bit could 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 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
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed trigger switch. The tool speed can be controlled from the minimum to the maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase the speed and release pressure to decrease speed. This accurate speed control enables you to drill without center punching. It also permits you to use as a power screwdriver. Bits are available for driving screws as well as running bolts and nuts.
FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER &
TRIGGER LOCK
Your tool is equipped with a forward/ reversing lever and trigger lock located above the trigger (Fig. 1). This lever was designed for changing rotation of the chuck, and for locking the trigger in an “OFF” position to help prevent accidental starts and accidental battery discharge. For forward rotation, (with chuck pointed away from you) move the lever to the far left. For reverse rotation move the lever to the far right. To activate trigger lock move lever to the center off position.
Do not change direction of rotation until the tool
comes to a complete stop. Shifting during
rotation of the chuck can cause damage to the tool.
GEAR SHIFTING
Your tool is equipped with two separate gear ranges, low gear and high gear. Low gear provides high-torque and slower drilling speeds for heavy duty work or for driving screws. High gear provides faster speeds for
drilling lighter work. To change speeds slide switch, to the high or low position.
ATTENTION: If your tool appears to be running, but the chuck will not turn, check to make sure the gear shifting switch is pushed fully into desired setting.
ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH
Your tool features 15 clutch settings. Output torque will increase as the clutch ring, is rotated from 1 to 15. The drill “ ” position will lock up the clutch to permit drilling and driving heavyduty work, and also enables bits to be changed quickly and easily in the keyless chuck.
The hammer drill position locks up the clutch for hammer drilling.
The clutch ring allows the tool to be set for various drilling /hammer drilling applications. Rotate the clutch ring to the drill or hammer drill symbol depending on the below applications).
Drilling mode: For drilling in woods, metals, plastics or other non concrete materials.
Hammer drilling mode: For drilling in brick, block, mortar, concrete, asphalt,
tile or other similar hard materials.
BRAKE
When the trigger switch is released it activates the brake to stop the chuck quickly. This is especially useful in the repetitive driving and removal of screws.
BIT STORAGE ADAPTER
Your tool is equipped with a bit storage adapter that will allow you to store a longer bit if desired. To install bit adapter, remove bit from standard storage area, then snap adapter into it’s place. To use, hold bit adapter in place when removing bit (Fig. 1).

CAUTION
CHARGING BATTERY PACK (1 HOUR CHARGER)
Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet. Before inserting battery pack, remove protective cap, then insert battery pack into charger (Fig. 4).
The charger’s green indicator will begin to “BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will automatically stop when the battery pack is fully charged.
When the indicator light stops “BLINKING” (and becomes a steady green light) fast charging is complete.
When you begin the charging process of the battery pack, a steady green light could also mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.
The purpose of the 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 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 handle.
To prevent fire or injury when batteries are not in tool or charger, always place protective cap onto end of battery pack.

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 drills are available for screw sizes No. 6, 8, 10 and 12.
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 unusually hard nonmetals. Use continuous heavy feed pressure when employing carbide tip bits.
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.
DRILLING METAL
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. 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 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.
Before using an accessory,
be certain that its maximum safe operating speed is not exceeded by the nameplate speed of the tool. Do not exceed the recommended wheel diameter.
SANDING AND POLISHING
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.
TETHER HOOK
The purpose of the tether hook is to secure the tool when working on ladders, scaffolding, or elevated heights to prevent the tool from hitting the ground if accidentally dropped. For best results, it is recommended to use 1/4" braided nylon rope or similar material.
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 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 the speed as the bit “bites” into the work by 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 snugly by slowing to a stop. Prior to driving screws, pilot and clearance holes should be drilled.

1. The battery pack accepts only about 80% of its maximum capacity with its first few charge cycles. However, after the first few charge cycles, the battery will charge to full capacity.
2. The charger was designed to fast charge the battery only when the battery temperature is between 40˚F (4˚C) and 105˚F (41˚C).
3. 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.
4. If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month or more) of non-use of your tool, it is best to run your tool down until it is fully discharged before storing your battery pack. After a long period of storage, the capacity at first recharge will be lower. Normal capacity will be restored in two or three charge/discharge
cycles. Remember to unplug charger during storage period.
5. 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 may void the warranty.
