1 609 92A 04C | (14.12.12) Bosch Power Tools

Switching On and Off

–To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 9.

When starting the machine for the first time, a starting delay

is possible, as the electronic system of the power tool has to

configure itself first.

–To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 9.

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

Setting the Speed/Impact Rate

The speed/impact rate of the switched on power tool can be

variably adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch 9

is pressed.

Light pressure on the On/Off switch 9 results in low speed/im-

pact rate. Further pressure on the switch increases the

speed/impact rate.

Safety Clutch

 If the tool insert becomes caught or jammed, the drive

to the drill spindle is interrupted. Because of the forces

that occur, always hold the power tool firmly with both

hands and provide for a secure stance.

 If the power tool jams, switch the machine off and loosen

the tool insert. When switching the machine on with the

drilling tool jammed, high reaction torques can occur.

Temperature Control Indicator

The red LED of the temperature control indicator 14 signals

that the battery or the electronics of the power tool (when the

battery is inserted) are not within the optimum temperature

range. In this case, the power tool will not operate at full ca-

pacity.

Temperature control of the battery:

–The red LED 14 lights up continuously after inserting the

battery into the charger: The battery is not within the

charging temperature range between 0 °C and 45 °C and

cannot be charged.

–The red LED 14 flashes when pushing button 16 or press-

ing the On/Off switch 9 (when the battery is inserted): The

battery is not wihin the temperature range for operation of

–10 °C to +60 °C.

– For battery temperatures over 70 °C, the power tool

switches off until the battery is in the optimal temperature

range again.

Temperature control of the power tool electronics:

–The red LED 14 lights up continuously when pressing the

On/Off switch 9: The temperature of the machine’s elec-

tronics is below 5 °C or above 75 °C.

– At a temperature above 90 °C , the electronics of the pow-

er tool switch off until the temperature is within the allow-

able temperature range again.

Working Advice

Changing the Chiselling Position (Vario-Lock)

The chisel can be locked in 36 positions. In this manner, the

optimum working position can be set for each application.

– Insert the chisel into the tool holder.

– Turn the mode selector switch 11 to the “Vario-Lock” posi-

tion (see “Setting the operating mode”, page 19).

– Turn the tool holder to the desired chiselling position.

– Turn the mode selector switch 11 to the “chiselling” posi-

tion. The tool holder is now locked.

– For chiselling, set the rotation direction to right rotation.

Inserting Screwdriver Bits (see figure N)

 Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only when it is

switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.

To work with screwdriver bits, a universal bit holder 32 with

SDS-plus shank (accessory) is required.

– Clean the shank end of the adapter shank and apply a light

coat of grease.

– Insert the universal bit holder with a turning motion into

the tool holder until it automatically locks.

– Check the locking effect by pulling the universal bit holder.

– Insert a screwdriver bit into the universal bit holder. Use

only screwdriver bits that match the screw head.

– To remove the universal bit holder, pull the locking sleeve

5 toward the rear and remove the universal bit holder 32

out of the tool holder.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery

Protect the battery against moisture and water.

Store the battery only within a temperature range between

0 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the battery in the

car in summer.

Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a soft,

clean and dry brush.

A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-

cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.

Observe the notes for disposal.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

 Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-

nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport

and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.

There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating

the On/Off switch.

 For safe and proper working, always keep the machine

and ventilation slots clean.

 A damaged dust protection cap should be changed im-

mediately. We recommend having this carried out by

an after-sales service.

– Clean the tool holder 3 each time after using.

If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufac-

turing 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 in-

clude the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of

the machine.
