Starting Operation

  • Use only original Bosch lithium-ion batteries with the voltage stated on the type plate of your power tool. Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard.

Set the rotational direction switch (7) to the middle position to avoid unintentionally switching it on. Insert the charged battery (4) into the handle until you feel it engage and it is flush with the handle.

The rotational direction switch (7) is used to change the rotational direction of the power tool. However, this is not possible while the on/off switch (8) is being pressed.

Right rotation: To drive in screws and tighten nuts, press the rotational direction switch (7) through to the left stop.

Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts, press the rotational direction switch (7) through to the right stop.

To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch (8).

The LED lights up when the on/off switch (8) is lightly or fully pressed, meaning that the work area is illuminated in poor lighting conditions.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (8).

You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (8) to varying extents.

A light pressure on the on/off switch (8) results in a low rotational speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an increase in speed.
