Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 4 and keep it
pressed.
Lock the pushed On/Off switch 4 by
pushing the lock-on button 3 upward.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 4 or
when it is locked with the lock-on button 3, briefly press the
On/Off switch 4 and then release it.
Adjusting the Speed
The speed of the switched on power tool can be variably ad-
justed, depending on how far the On/Off switch 4 is pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 4 results in a low rotation-
al speed. Further pressure on the switch results in an increase
in speed.

Working Advice

After longer periods of working at low speed, allow the ma-
chine to cool down by running it for approx. 3 minutes at max-
imum speed with no load.
For drilling in metal, use only perfectly sharpened HSS drill
bits (HSS=high-speed steel). The appropriate quality is guar-
anteed by the Bosch accessories program.
Twist drills from 2.5–10 mm can easily be sharpened with
the drill bit sharpener (see accessories).
We recommend the use of a drill stand (see accessories) for
work where greater precision is particularly required.
The machine vice, which is available as an accessory, enables
secure clamping of workpieces. This prevents the workpiece
from turning and any accidents this would cause.

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 replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to
be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-
der to avoid a safety hazard.
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.
