General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

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 residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD 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 dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   d) 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.
   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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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 dustrelated hazards.

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 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. 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. 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.

5. 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.

Machine-specific Safety Warnings

• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

• Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
  Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.

• Connect machines that are used in the open via a residual current device (RCD).

• Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.

• Hold the machine with a firm grip. High reaction torque can briefly occur while driving in and loosening screws.

  Noise/Vibration Information
  Measured values determined according to EN 60745.
  Typically the A-weighted noise level of the machine is:
  sound pressure level 85 dB(A); sound power level 96 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3 dB.
  Wear hearing protection! The typical hand/arm vibration is below 2.5 m/s².
  WARNING
  The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60 745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. The vibration emission level will vary because of the ways in which a power tool can be used and may increase above the level given in this information sheet. This could lead to a significant underestimate of exposure when the tool is used regularly in such a way.
  Note: To be accurate, an estimation of the level of exposure to vibration experienced during a given period of work should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. |
  Declaration of Conformity
  We declare under our sole responsibility that this product is in conformity with the following standards or standardization documents: EN 60745 according to the provisions of the directives 89/336/EEC, 98/37/EC.

The values given are valid for nominal voltages [U] of 230/240 V. For lower voltage and models for specific countries, these values can vary.
Please observe the article number on the type plate of your machine. The trade names of the individual machines may vary.

Assembly

Changing the Tool (see figure A)
Pull off the screwing-depth stop 4 toward the front. Pull out the screwdriver bit 1. If required, the universal bit holder 9 can also be pulled off and replaced. After changing the tool, reattach the screwing-depth stop 4.

Operation

Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must agree with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Reversing the Rotational Direction
The rotational direction switch 8 is used to reverse the rotational direction of the machine. However, this is not possible with the On/Off switch 7 actuated.
Right rotation: Push the rotational direction switch 8 left to the stop (for screwing in screws).
Left rotation: Push the rotational direction switch 8 right to the stop (for unscrewing screws).
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 7 and keep it depressed.
To lock the pressed On/Off switch 7, press the lockon button 6. To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 7 or when it is locked with the lock-on button 6, briefly press the On/Off switch 7 and then release it.
Adjusting the Speed
The speed of the switched on power tool can be variably adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch 7 is pressed. Light pressure on the On/Off switch 7 results in a low rotational speed. Further pressure on the switch results in an increase in speed. Adjusting the Screw-in Depth (see figure B)
With the adjustment sleeve 3, the screw-in depth of the screw head into the workpiece can be preset in 8 locking steps per full turn. Each step corresponds with a 0.25 mm change of the screw-in depth. Turning the adjustment sleeve 3 in clockwise direction results in a greater screw-in depth; turning in anticlockwise direction reduces the screw-in depth. The required setting is best determined by testing.
Operating Instructions
Apply the power tool to the screw only when it is switched off.
Guide the screw toward the screwdriving bit 1. The screw is held in place by the magnet pull of the universal bit holder 9. Firmly push the tip of the screw into the material to be screwed until the screwing-depth stop 4 faces against the workpiece. Switch the machine on. The screw is screwed into the material until the adjusted screw-in depth is reached. The drive is disengaged and the tool holder no longer rotates. Check the screw-in depth and readjust, if required. For unscrewing screws, set the rotational direction
switch 8 to left rotation and pull off the screwing-depth stop 4 toward the front without turning the adjustment sleeve. Working with the screwing-depth stop 4 is also possible when adapting the screw-in depth.
Belt Clip
With the belt clip 5, the machine can be hung onto a belt. The user has both hands free and the machine is always at hand.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine and ventilation slots clean.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order, please always include the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of the machine.
WARNING! Important instructions for connecting a new 3-pin plug to the 2-wire cable. The wires in the cable are coloured according to the following code:

Do not connect the blue or brown wire to the earth terminal of the plug.
Important: If for any reason the moulded plug is removed from the cable of this power tool, it must be disposed of safely.
