• Lead from lead-based paints

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

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.

BM 2609140358 12-05 12/6/05 3:28 PM Page 11

The optional belt clip accessory will allow you to conveniently attach your tool to your belt. This feature will allow you to have both hands free when climbing a ladder or moving to another work area.

The belt clip can be attached to either side of the tool by securing it with a mounting screw. Always make sure you securely tighten the mounting screw before use.

To open clip, squeeze both release buttons and the clip will spring up automatically (Fig. 4). To use clip, turn tool upside down and attach to your belt.

SWIVEL LIGHTING SYSTEM

Your tool is equipped with integrated light source in the knurled thumbwheel. The light will go ON as soon as you squeeze trigger switch, unless the thumbwheel is in the 0 position (Fig. 5).

The light beam can be adjusted to 3 positions in front of the chuck for the desired bit being used.

Position 1: The focus of the beam is

approximately 20 mm.

Position 2: The focus of the beam is

approximately 150 mm.

Position 3: The focus of the beam is

INSERTING AND RELEASING

BATTERY PACK

Release battery pack from tool by pressing on both sides of the battery release tabs and pull downward. Before inserting battery pack,

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

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.

remove protective cap from battery pack. To insert battery, align battery and slide battery pack into tool until it locks into position. Do not force (Fig. 1).

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 will void the warranty.

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. 12).

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”

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. (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

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 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.

DRIVING WITH VARIABLE SPEED

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.

Always hold the machine straight on the bolt to be tightened.

The best method to determine the right impacting/tightening duration is by means of a trial. For small screws, the right impacting/tightening duration can be reached in less then 0.5 Sec. Therefore, work with low RPM and switch the machine off immediately when the screw is tight and the impacting sound can be heard.

For screwing larger, longer wood screws into hard material, pre-drilling is the best method.

TIGHTENING TORQUE

The tightening torque depends on the duration of the impacting/tightening action.

The largest tightening torque is achieved

after approx. 6 to 10 Sec. impacting/

tightening action.

The torque build-up depends on the

ollowing factors:

• Hardness of the bolts/nuts.

• Type of washer (disk washer, spring washer, seal).

• Hardness of the material to be joined.

• Lubricating effect at the surfaces of the junction.

This leads to the following application cases:

Hard case: The joining of metal to metal with a disk washer. The maximum torque is reached after a relative short impacting/ tightening action.

Medium case: The joining of metal to metal where spring ring washer, disk spring washer, stud bolts or bolts/nuts with conical seats are used.

Soft case: The joining of e.g. metal to wood or insulation material.

For middle or soft joining cases, the maximum tightening torque is less as for hard cases. Therefore, a longer impacting/ tightening action is necessary to arrive at the maximum tightening torque.

FASTENING WITH SCREWS

This procedure shown in (Fig. 13) will enable you to fasten materials together with your tool 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

Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated and is ready for use.

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. Rotate brush cap at the rear part of housing counter-clockwise with a coin or screwdriver and remove cap (Fig. 14).

Lift out the brushes; note which way they face, so that the brushes can be returned to their original position. New brushes can also be inserted turned 180º. Clean the brush holder openings with compressed air or a clean cloth and replace the brushes and brush covers.

After replacing brushes the tool should be run at no-load and run it freely at full speed for 2 minutes before using the tool. This will allow the brushes to “seat” properly and will give you more hours of life from each set of brushes.

Only genuine Bosch replacement brushes specially designed for your tool should be used.

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.
