Practical Advice; Maintenance And Service; Maintenance And Cleaning - Bosch EasyDrill 18V-40 Manual Original

The LED (8) lights up when the on/off switch (10) 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 (10).
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.
Preselecting the Torque
The torque presetting ring (3) can be used to preselect the
required torque in 20 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, you can select a higher setting or
set the tool to the symbol.
Mechanical Gear Selection
You can press the gear selector switch (5) with the
u
power tool off or on. You should not do this at full load
or maximum torque, however.
Gear I:
Low speed range; for working with a large drilling diameter
or for screwdriving.
Gear II:
High speed range; for working with a small drilling diameter.

Bosch Power Tools
Fully automatic spindle lock (Auto-Lock)
The drill spindle, and therefore the tool holder (1), are
locked when the on/off switch (10) is not pressed.
This enables screws to be screwed in even when the battery
(7) is empty and allows the power tool to be used as a
screwdriver.
Temperature-dependent overload protection
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. If the power tool is overloaded or the permitted bat-
tery temperature is exceeded, the electronics of the power
tool will switch off until the temperature returns to within the
optimum operating temperature range.

Practical advice

Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the
u
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.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
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.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
