Ensure the switch is in the off position be-
fore inserting battery pack. Inserting the bat-
tery pack into power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
Convince yourself before using that the battery
is securely seated in the machine.
Do not strain the machine so heavily that it
comes to a standstill.
When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.
Operate the machine only with the auxiliary
handle 10.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing an op-
eration where the cutting tool may run into
hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the op-
erator.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assist-
ance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage.
Be careful when screwing in long screws; dan-
ger of sliding off.
Set the machine against the screw/nut only
when switched off.
When screwdriving, operate in first gear as
well as with a low speed.
Always switch the machine off and wait until it
has come to a standstill before placing it down.
Never allow children to use the machine.
Bosch is only able to ensure perfect operation
of the machine if the original accessories in-
tended for it are used.
Battery and Battery Charger
The enclosed operating instructions for the
battery charger must be read carefully!
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suita-
ble for one type of battery pack may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
Allow a heated battery to cool before charging.
Protect the battery from heat and fire: Danger
of explosion! Do not place the battery on radi-
ators or expose to strong sun rays for a longer
time; temperatures over 50 °C cause damage.
Do not open the battery, and protect it from im-
pact. Store in a dry and frost-free place.
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 con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
Do not dispose of the battery in household
waste or discard into fire or water.
The machine is intended for hammer drilling in
concrete, brick and stone. It is also suitable for
drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic
and plastic. Machines with electronic control and
right/left rotation are also suitable for screwdriv-
ing and thread cutting.
Battery Charging
A battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approximately 5 charging/discharging
cycles.
To remove the battery 8, press the unlocking but-
tons 9 and pull out the battery downwards. Do not
exert any force.
The battery is equipped with an NTC temperature
control which allows charging only within a tem-
perature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C.
A long battery service life is achieved in this man-
ner.
A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the batteries are used and
must be replaced.
Observe the notes on environmental protec-
tion.
