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
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(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.
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.
If operating the power tool in damp
locations is unavoidable a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used to
supply the power to your tool.
GFCI and
personal protection devices like electrician’s
rubber gloves and footwear will further
enhance your personal safety.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating 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 safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in 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 control of the power tool in unexpected
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 these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term “power tool”
in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Slippery hands cannot safely
c
ontrol the power tool.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. 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 cannot be controlled with the switch 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 tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
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 and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool,
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.
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
s
table platform.
H
olding the work by hand
o
r against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Battery tool use and care
Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack.
Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer.
A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
Use battery tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
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 burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard
return springs may be improperly
mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc.
may damage plastic parts.

Safety Rules for Cordless Drill / Drivers
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tools may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator.
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 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.
Always hold the tool with both hands. If
the bit jams two hands will give you
maximum control over 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.
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 bit, insert the shank of
the bit well within the collet.
If the bit is not
inserted deep enough, the grip of the collet
over the bit is reduced and the loss of control
is increased. After bit insertion, pull on bit to
ensure it is locked.
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 drill 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
The Bosch model PS10 Cordless Drill/Driver
has a collet that accepts only standard 1/4”
hexagonal shank accessories with power
groove. The low RPM capability of this model
is not a deficiency. On the contrary, low speed
means high torque and high torque is a definite
plus for efficient drilling and driving. The low
speed also provides more control to prevent
stripout of the screw and damage to the work
surface.
COLLET LOCKING SLEEVE
To avoid loss of control,
ensure bit is locked in collet
by pulling on bit after it has been inserted.
Your tool is equipped with a quick release
collet locking sleeve. To insert a accessory,
simply pull collet locking sleeve forward, insert
desired accessory into chuck and release
collet locking sleeve (Fig. 2).
To remove an accessory, pull collet locking
sleeve forward and simply remove it.
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. 3).
REVERSING SWITCH BUTTON
The reversing switch button is located above
the trigger switch and is used to reverse
rotation of the bit. For forward rotation, (with the
chuck pointed away from you) move button to
the far left. For reverse rotation move the button
to the far right (Fig. 3).
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.
PRECISION CLUTCH™
Your tool features 7 clutch settings. Output
torque will increase as the button is raised or
lower from settings 1 to 7. The drill “ ”
position will lock up the clutch to permit
drilling and driving heavyduty work, When the
clutch is activated, user will feel several
pulses at the trigger and the tool will stop.
The trigger must be released to reset the
clutch (Fig. 4).
ARTICULATION BUTTON
Your tool also features a 5 position articulating
head. To adjust, depress articulation button
and move head to desired position (Fig. 5).

FASTENING WITH SCREWS
The procedure shown in figure. 6 will enable
you to fasten materials together with your
Cordless Screwdriver 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 a 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.
-10-
Y
ou 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
t
he 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.
TOOL HANGER
To avoid personal injury,
do not use tool hanger as
a tether
. Hanger is meant to be used for
storage.
Operating Tips
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.
!
WARNING
2. Drill same
diameter as
screw shank.
3. Countersink
same diameter
as screw head.
1. Drill 2/3 diameter and
2/3 of screw length for
soft materials, full
length for hard
materials.
Screw
Apply a slight
even pressure
when driving
screws.

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
c
utting 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.
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
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.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
INSERTING AND RELEASING BATTERY PACK
Release battery pack from tool by pressing
on both sides of the battery release tabs and
pull downwards.
To insert battery, align battery and slide
battery pack into tool until it locks into
position. Do not force.
1. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery
temperature is between 32˚F (0˚C) and
140˚F (60˚C). If the battery pack is too hot or
too cold, the charger will not fast charge the
battery. (This may happen if the battery pack
is hot from heavy use). When the battery
temperature returns to between 32˚F (0˚C)
and 140˚F (60˚C), the charger will
automatically begin charging.
2. 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.
3. Remember to unplug charger during
storage period.
4. 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.

If the indicator lights are “OFF”, the charger
is not receiving power from power supply
outlet.
If the green indicator light is
“ON”, the charger is plugged in
but the battery pack is not
inserted, or the battery pack is fully charged
and is being trickle charged.
If the green indicator light is
“BLINKING”, the battery pack is
being fast-charged. Fast-
charging will automatically stop when the
battery pack is fully charged.
If the red indicator light is “ON”,
the battery pack is too hot or
cold for fast-charging. The
charger will switch to trickle charge, until a
suitable temperature is reached, at which
time the charger will switch automatically to
fast-charging.
If the red indicator light is
“BLINKING”, the battery pack
cannot accept a charge or the
contacts of the charger or battery pack are
contaminated. Clean the contacts of the
charger or battery pack only as directed in
these operating instructions or those
supplied with your tool or battery pack.
CHARGER INDICATORS, SYMBOLS AND MEANING
Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet, then insert battery pack into charger
(Fig. 7).
The charger’s green indicator light 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.
The battery pack may be used even though
the light may still be blinking. The light may
require more time to stop blinking depending
on temperature.
When you begin the
charging process of the battery pack, a
steady red light could also mean the battery
pack is too hot or too cold.
The purpose of the green 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 charging several batteries in
sequence, the charge time may slightly
increase.
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.
