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 jew- ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex- traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con- nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re- duce dust-related hazards.
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 in- jury within a fraction of a second.

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 de- signed.
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 re- move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing ac- cessories, 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 and accessories. Check for mis- alignment 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main- tained 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, taking into ac- count the working conditions and the work to be per- formed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
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.

Battery tool use and care

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu- facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated bat- tery 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 oc- curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi- tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat- tery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excess- ive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
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.

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.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat- tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Safety information for screwdriversSafety instructions for all operations

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting ac- cessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring. Cut- ting 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.

Safety instructions when using long drill bits

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 contact- ing the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
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 contact- ing the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.

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.

Additional safety information

Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com- plete stop before placing it down. The application tool can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
Switch the power tool off immediately if the applica- tion tool becomes blocked. Be prepared for high torque reactions which cause kickback. The applica- tion tool becomes blocked when it becomes jammed in the workpiece or when the power tool becomes over- loaded.
Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hid- den supply lines or contact the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to ex- plosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
Hold the power tool securely. When tightening and loosening screws be prepared for temporarily high torque reactions.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va- pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex- plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit- ing.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Only use the battery with products from the manufac- turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short- circuiting.
▶ Caution! When using the power tool with Bluetooth ®, a fault may occur in other devices and systems, aero- planes and medical devices (e.g. pacemakers, hearing aids). Also, damage to people and animals in the im- mediate vicinity cannot be completely excluded. Do not use the power tool with Bluetooth ® in the vicinity of medical devices, petrol stations, chemical plants, areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere or in blasting areas.

The vibration level and noise emission value given in these instructions have been measured in accordance with a standardised measuring procedure and may be used to com- pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary estimation of vibration and noise emissions.

The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres- ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other applications, with different ap- plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually being used should also be taken into account. This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper- ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm, and organising workflows correctly.

Assembly

Remove the battery from the power tool before carry- ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re- moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

Inserting the Bluetooth ® Low Energy Module GCY 30-4 (Accessory)

Read the corresponding operating instructions for informa- tion about the Bluetooth ® Low Energy Module GCY 30-4.

Charging the Battery

Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of your power tool.

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the batteryis discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates.

Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the power tool has automatically switched off. The battery can be damaged.

Follow the instructions on correct disposal.

Removing the Battery

The battery (6) is equipped with two locking levels to pre- vent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery re- lease button (7) unintentionally. As long as the battery is in- serted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a spring.
To remove the battery (6) , press the release button (7) and pull the battery out of the power tool. Do not use force to do this.

Battery charge indicator

The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only possible to check the state of charge when the power tool is not in operation.
Press the button for the battery charge indicator or to show the state of charge. This is also possible when the bat- tery is removed.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci- nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment ad- ditives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

  • Provide for good ventilation of the working
  • It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class

Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the ma- terials to be worked.

Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.

Operation

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery

Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your power tool can lead to malfunctions or damage to the power tool.
Set the rotational direction switch (9) to the middle position to avoid unintentionally switching it on. Insert the charged battery (6) into the handle until you feel it engage and it is flush with the handle.

Setting the rotational direction (see figure G)

Only operate the rotational direction switch (9) when the power tool is not in use.

The rotational direction switch (9) is used to change the ro- tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos- sible while the on/off switch (10) is being pressed.
Right rotation: To drill and to drive in screws, press the ro- tational direction switch (9) through to the left stop.
Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts, press the rotational direction switch (9) through to the right stop.

Preselecting the Torque

The torque presetting ring (3) can be used to preselect the required torque in 15 stages. When the correct setting is used, the application tool will be stopped when the screw is driven flush into the material or once the set torque has been reached. In position  the overload clutch is deactivated,e.g. for drilling.
When unscrewing screws, it may be advisable to select a higher setting or the symbol.

Mechanical gear selection

Only operate the gear selector (4) when the power tool is not in use.

You can preselect two speed ranges with the gear selector

(4).First gear:

Low speed range; for working with a large drilling diameter or for screwdriving.

Second gear:

High speed range; for working with a small drilling diameter.

Always push the gear selector switch as far as it will go. Otherwise, the power tool may become damaged.

Switching on/off

To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch(10).

The worklight (8) lights up when the on/off switch (10) is lightly or fully pressed, allowing the work area to be illumin- ated in poor lighting conditions.
The worklight (8) will remain lit for approximately ten seconds after the on/off switch (10) has been released.

Adjusting the Speed

You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (10) to varying extents.
A light pressure on the on/off switch (10) results in a low ro- tational speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an increase in speed.

Fully automatic spindle lock (Auto-Lock)

The drill spindle, and therefore the holder (1) , are locked when the on/off switch (10) is not pressed.
This enables screws to be screwed in even when the battery is empty and allows the power tool to be used as a screw- driver.

Temperature-dependent overload protection

In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over- loaded. If the power tool is overloaded or not kept within the permitted battery temperature range, the power output is reduced or the power tool is switched off. The power tool will not run at full power output again until the permitted bat- tery temperature has been reached.

In conjunction with the Bluetooth ® Low Energy Module

GCY 30-4 , the following connectivity functions are available for the power tool:

  • Registration and personalisation
  • Status check, output of warning messages
  • General information and settings
  • Management

Read the corresponding operating instructions for informa- tion about the Bluetooth ® Low Energy Module GCY 30-4.

Practical advice

▶ With the GCY 30-4 Bluetooth ® Low Energy Module, the power tool is

equipped with a radio interface. Local operating restrictions, e.g. in aircraft or hospitals, must be observed.
Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the tool is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
After working at a low speed for an extended period, you should operate the power tool at the maximum speed for ap- proximately three minutes without load to cool it down.

When drilling into metal, only use sharpened HSS drills (HSS
= high-speed steel) which are in perfect condition. The
Bosch accessory range guarantees appropriate quality.
Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard materials, it is advisable to pre-drill a pilot hole with the core diameter of the thread to approx. 2/3 of the screw length.
