Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Assembly
Before carrying out any work on the power tool (e.g.
u
maintenance, tool change etc.), remove the battery
from the power tool. There is risk of injury from uninten-
tionally pressing the on/off switch.
Auxiliary handle
Do not operate your power tool without the auxiliary
u
handle (13).
Make sure that the auxiliary handle is always
u
tightened. Otherwise you could lose control of the power
tool when working.
Swivelling the auxiliary handle (see figure A)
You can swivel the auxiliary handle (13) to any angle for a
safe work posture that minimises fatigue.
– Turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (13)
anticlockwise and swivel the auxiliary handle (13) into
the required position. Then turn the lower gripping end of
the auxiliary handle (13) clockwise to retighten it.
Make sure that the retaining strap of the auxiliary handle
slots into the corresponding groove of the housing.
Changing the Tool
The dust protection cap (3) largely prevents the penetration
of drilling dust into the tool holder during operation. When
inserting the tool, make sure that the dust protection cap (3)
does not become damaged.
Bosch Power Tools
Replace a damaged dust protection cap immediately.
u
It is recommended that you have use an after-sales
service for this.
Changing the Tool SDS plus
Capacity
Inserting the SDS plus Application Tool (see figure B1)
80–100 %
The SDS plus drill chuck (1) enables you to change the ap-
plication tool easily and conveniently without needing to use
60–80 %
additional tools.
40–60 %
– Clean and lightly grease the shank of the application tool.
20–40 %
– Insert the application tool into the tool holder (2) while
5–20 %
turning it until it locks automatically.
0–5 %
– Check that it is locked by pulling on the tool.
As a requirement of the system, the SDS plus application
tool can move freely. This causes a certain radial run-out at
no-load, which has no effect on the accuracy of the drill hole,
as the drill bit centres itself upon drilling.
Removing the SDS plus Application Tool (see figure B2)
– Push the locking sleeve (4) back and remove the applica-
tion tool.
Dust/Chip Extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Dust extraction with GDE 18V-16 (see figure G)
The GDE 18V-16 dust extraction attachment is required for
extracting concrete dust and stone dust.
This dust extraction system is not suitable for dust from
wood, metal and plastic or for dust which is harmful to one's
health (e.g. asbestos).
Operation
Start-up
Ensure that the cover of the Bluetooth
u
ule GCY 42 is closed during operation. This will prevent
dust from getting in.
Setting the Operating Mode
The operating mode of the power tool is selected using the
impact/mode selector switch (7).
