For All Battery Operated Tools
WARNING
!
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep by-standers, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.

balance enable better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye

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.
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.
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.

Remove battery pack before changing
accessories. Accidental starting may occur
because battery appliances with a battery

Be prepared for a reaction torque when
“seating” or removing a fastener. The
screwdriver housing may tend to twist in the
opposite direction of bit rotation when
“seating” or removing a fastener depending
on the torque setting of the tool.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories. When installing an accessory,
insert the shank of the bit well within the
collet. Be sure the collet has locked onto the
bit correctly.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at
your side. A spinning bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may result.
Place the tool onto the fastener only when
the screwdriver is switched off. Rotating
driver tools can slide off the fastener.
Do not use this tool as a drill. Tools
equipped with shut-off clutches are not
designed for drilling applications. The clutch
can shut off automatically and without
warning.
Be careful when driving long screws –
there is a risk of sliding off the fastener
head depending on type of socket or bit
used.
First test the run-down of a fastener

INTENDED USE
This tool is intended for the fastening and
loosening of bolts, nuts and various threaded
fasteners. This tool is not intended for use
as a drill.
COLLET LOCKING SLEEVE
Insert a tool holder or screwdriver bit into the
chuck. Pull the collet locking sleeve forward.
Insert the desired bit into the chuck and
release the collet locking sleeve. The collet
accepts only standard 1/4” hexagonal shank
accessories with power groove. Do not use
this tool as a drill. Tools equipped with shutoff clutches are not designed for drilling
applications. The clutch can shut off
automatically and without warning.
Attempting to restart drilling after shut-off has
been reached can cause the tool to twist out
of your hand until the clutch again reaches
shut-off. Do not attempt to insert quickchange type drill bits into this chuck.
REMOVING A TOOL HOLDER, SOCKET

When you begin the charging process of the

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.
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.
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.
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.
-10-
Page 11
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
following 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. 6) 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
clearance hole in the first piece allows the
screw head to pull the pieces tightly together.
RUNNING NUTS AND BOLTS
Variable speed control must be used with
caution for driving nuts and bolts with socket
set attachments. The technique is to start

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
