1. Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

b. 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.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

d. 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.

e. 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.

f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the

risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a. 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.

b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection

used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal

injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use of dust collection

can reduce dust-related hazards.

h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of

tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool

safety principles. A careless action can cause severe

injury within a fraction of a second.

4. Power tool use and care

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or

remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.

d. 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.

e. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of

parts and any other condition that may aﬀect the power

tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to

bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in

accordance with these instructions, 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.

h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and

free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping

surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the

tool in unexpected situations.

5. Battery tool use and care

a. 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.

b. Use power tools only with specifically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and ﬁre.

c. 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.

d. 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.

e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or

modiﬁed. Damaged or modiﬁed batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behavior resulting in ﬁre, explosion or

risk of injury.

f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to ﬁre

or excessive temperature. Exposure to ﬁre or

temperature above 265 °F may cause explosion.

g. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge

the battery pack or tool outside the temperature

range specified in the instructions. Charging

improperly or at temperatures outside the specified

range may damage the battery and increase the risk of

ﬁre.

a. Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to

noise can cause hearing loss.

b. Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause

personal injury.

c. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the cutting

accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring.

Cutting accessory or fasteners contacting a "live" wire

may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and

could give the operator an electric shock.

d. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding

the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable

and may lead to loss of control.

e. 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.

f. Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when

using this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for

applications which generate dust.

g. 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.

h. 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.

i. Disconnect battery pack from tool before making any

assembly, adjustments or changing accessories. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the

tool accidentally.

j. 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.

k. 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.

l. Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close

to the spinning chuck or drill bit. Your hand may be

lacerated.

m. When installing a drill bit, insert the shank of the

bit well within the jaws of the 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.

n. Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. Dull

or damaged bits have a greater tendency to bind in the

workpiece.

o. 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.

Safety Rules for Cordless Drill/Drivers

6. Service

a. 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.

b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of

battery packs should only be performed by the

manufacturer or authorized service providers.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

p. 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.

q. Do not run the tool while carrying it at your side. A

spinning drill bit could become entangled with clothing

and injury may result.

Safety instructions when using long

drill bits

a. Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed

rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to

bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the

workpiece, resulting in personal injury.

b. Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in

contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is

likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting

the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.

c. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not

apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage

or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician’s

rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your

personal safety.

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.

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.

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.

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.

Some dust created by power

sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-

ing, and other construction activities contains chemi-

cals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other repro-

ductive 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.

cause damage to the tool.

Operating Instructions

(16)

FIG. 8

Gear Shifting

Your tool is equipped with two separate gear ranges,

low gear 1 and high gear 2. 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 (7),

to the high 2 or low position 1 (Fig. 9).

ATTENTION: If your tool appears to be running, but the

chuck will not turn, check to make sure the gear shifter

is pushed fully into desired setting. (7)

Setting depth: After the auxiliary handle is installed,

make sure the drill bit has been fully inserted into the

chuck before setting the depth gauge.

To adjust depth: turn the wing nut counter-clockwise to

loosen depth gauge, slide depth gauge to desired depth X,

and securely tighten wing nut clockwise (Fig. 14).

Temperature Overload Protection

Avoid using battery operated tools continuously,

for long periods of time, while subjecting the tool to

overload conditions, such as drilling with large diameter

accessories into hard materials. Using battery powered

tools at extreme loads, may cause the battery to exceed

its allowable operating temperature range. When the

battery exceeds normal operating temperature caused

by overload, the speed of the tool may be reduced and

the tool may appear to lose power. To regain the tool's

full performance, the battery must be allowed to cool,

until the operating temperature returns to normal.

User Interface

STATUS INDICATOR LED

The LED bar at the top of the user interface illuminates

in various colors to help the user identify the status of

the tool. When the status indicator LED (20) is green

the tool and battery pack are operating normally and

temperatures are ok. If the indicator changes to yellow it

means that the tool or battery temperatures have risen

to a critical level. It is best to back oﬀ the load and give

the tool a chance to cool down. If the indicator turns red

the tool will shut oﬀ to protect itself and/or the battery

pack from an overheating situation.

The status indicator LED (20) will also blink blue when

the leveling function (18) or KickBack Control (22)

buttons are held for 7 seconds. This will reset the tool

settings to factory default.

KICKBACK CONTROL (RAPID SHUT-OFF)

To ensure better control of the tool during

operation, this tool is design to shut-oﬀ while

in use if a sudden or unexpected bind up

situation occurs. Bind up occurs when the bit gets

jammed during operation, which forces the bit to stop

spinning abruptly. If this occurs, the tool will shut down

and the KickBack Control will be indicated by ﬂashing

LED lights on the tool.

KickBack Control can be turned oﬀ by the user. Button

(22) on the user interface (14) will toggle the feature

on and oﬀ. Status is indicated with "On" and "Oﬀ" LEDS

(21) on the User Interface (14). If the power tool is

not used for longer than 5 minutes, or if the battery is

removed, KickBack Control automatically turns back on.

Please note that the indicator light may not be visible

from all directions or in bright sunlight.

When the switch trigger is pressed, operator is notiﬁed

about the KickBack Control.

LEVELING FUNCTION

With the leveling function, a slope angle can be

preselected for power tool detection and indication

during work. This means it is possible to drill or

screw perpendicular to sloped surfaces, for example.

The leveling function is con-trolled via the user

interface(14).

Select an angle (45°, 60°, user-defined) on the user

interface(14). Note: The default user-deﬁned angle is

90°. This angle can be adjusted via the Bosch Toolbox

app using connectivity

module GCY42 (sold separately). To adjust the

angle, press the button for the leveling function(18)

repeatedly until the LED of the required slope

angle(19) starts ﬂashing.

In addition to the LED of the required slope angle

(19), the LED of the leveling function(8) also starts

to flash yellow. Now position the power tool on the

reference surface and hold it as still as possible. Note:

If the power tool is not held still during the initiating

process, the initiating process will automatically end

after 10seconds and the last set value is restored.

The power tool will start the initiating process once it

is positioned. The reference surface is set as o° during

the initiating process. The initiating process is complete

when the LED of the leveling function(8) lights up green

for approximately 1second and then goes out, and the

LED of the slope angle(19) lights up continuously.

Remove the power tool from the surface. Align the

power tool with the reference surface at the required

slope angle. The LED(20) lights up yellow if the tool

angle lies in the range +/-10° from the preset slope

angle.

If a tool angle is within +/-3° of the preset slope

angle, the LED (8) lights up green. To end the

leveling function, press the button for the leveling

function(18) repeatedly until none of the LEDs for

angle selection(19) are lit up (45°  60°  User-deﬁned

 Off). The set angle and reference surface are saved

even when changing the battery or when waking up the

power tool from sleep mode.

Driving Nuts and Bolts

Variable speed control must be used with caution for

driving nuts and bolts with socket set attach ments. 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.

Drilling

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 oper a tion, 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 variable speed trigger allows you to slowly increase

RPM. By using a slow starting speed, you are able to

keep the bit from “wander ing”. 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. Prior to driving screws,

pilot and clearance holes should be drilled. Place the

threaded end of the screw in the pilot or clearance hole

and start driving the screw slowly, increasing the speed

as the screw runs down. Set the screw snugly by slowing

to a stop.

Fastening with Screws

The procedure shown in Fig. 16 will enable you to fasten

materials together using your drill without stripping,

splitting or separating the material.

First, clamp the pieces together and drill the 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 hole in the top

piece of wood again to the same diameter as the shank

of the screw.

Third, if ﬂat head screw is used, countersink the hole to

make the screw ﬂush with the surface. Realign the holes

on the two pieces and 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.

Electronic Angle Detect

Orientation of the tool while calibrating the surface will

determine the reference for the angle. On a vertical

wall, if the tool is calibrated with the chuck pointing

upward, a target angle will be established in an upward

orientation (e.g. +45°). If the tool is calibrated with

the chuck pointing downward, a target angle will be

established in a downward orientation (e.g. -45°).

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 ma terials.

CARBIDE TIPPED BITS: Used for drilling stone, con-

crete, plaster, cement and other unusually hard

nonmetals. Use continuous heavy feed pres sure when

employing carbide tip bits.
