Working safely with this machine is
possible only when the operating
and safety information are read
completely and the instructions

Dust produced while working can be detrimental to
health, inflammable or explosive. Suitable protection
measures are required.
Examples: Some dusts are considered to be carcino-
genic. Use suitable dust/chip extraction and wear a
dust protection mask.
Light metal dust can burn or explode. Always keep the
work place clean since material mixtures are especially
dangerous.
If the cable is damaged or cut through while working,
do not touch the cable but immediately pull the mains
plug. Never use the machine with a damaged cable.

1 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
FOR DRILL HAMMERS
English–1
Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines
or call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical
shock. Damaging a gas line can result in an explosion.
Penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage
or an electrical shock.
Operate the machine only with the auxiliary handle 11.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
Place the machine on the nut/screw only when
switched off.
For screws, work using the first gear or with a low
speed.
Be careful when screwing in long screws; danger of
sliding off.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance.
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 able to ensure flawless functioning of the ma-
chine only if the original accessories intended for it are
used.
