The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-
ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the
power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-
plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.
Assembly
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Auxiliary handle (see figure A)
Do not operate your power tool without the auxiliary
u
handle (7).
You can swivel the auxiliary handle (7) to any angle for a safe
work posture that minimises fatigue.
Turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (7) anti-
clockwise and swivel the auxiliary handle (7) into the re-
quired position. Afterwards, turn the lower gripping end of
the auxiliary handle (7) clockwise to retighten it.
Setting the drilling depth (see figure A)
You can use the depth stop (8) to set the required drilling
depth X.
Turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (7) anti-
clockwise and set the depth stop (8).
Pull the depth stop (8) far enough out that the distance
between the drill bit tip and the edge of the depth stop (8)
corresponds to the required drilling depth X.
Then turn the lower gripping end of the auxiliary handle (7)
clockwise to retighten it.
The fluting on the depth stop (8) must face upwards.
Changing the tool
Wear protective gloves when changing tools. The drill
u
chuck may heat up significantly when it is used for long
periods.
Keyless chuck (see figure B)
The drill spindle is locked when the on/off switch (5) is not
pressed. This makes it possible to change the application
tool in the drill chuck quickly, conveniently and easily.
Open the keyless chuck (1) by turning it in the direction of
rotation ➊ until the tool can be inserted. Insert the tool.
1 609 92A 7YN | (06.07.2022)
Firmly tighten the sleeve of the keyless chuck (1) by turning
it by hand in the rotational direction ➋ until it stops clicking.
This will automatically lock the drill chuck.
The lock will disengage again if you turn the sleeve in the op-
posite direction to remove the tool.
Keyed chuck (see figure C)
Open the keyed chuck (10) by turning it until the tool can be
inserted. Insert the tool.
Insert the chuck key (9) into the corresponding holes of the
keyed chuck (10) and clamp the tool evenly.
Screwdriving tools (see figure D)
You should always use a universal bit holder (12) when using
screwdriver bits (11). Only use screwdriver bits that fit the
screw head.
For screwdriving, make sure the "drilling/impact drilling" se-
lector switch (2) is always set to the "drilling" symbol.
Changing the drill chuck
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
If your power tool does not have a drill spindle locking
u
mechanism, you must have the drill chuck changed by an
authorised after-sales service centre for Bosch power
tools.
Removing the Drill Chuck (see figure E)
Remove the auxiliary handle (7).
Insert a steel pin with a diameter of 4 mm and a length of ap-
prox. 50 mm into the hole on the spindle collar to lock the
drill spindle in place. Clamp a hex key (13) in the keyless
chuck (1), leading with the short shaft.
Place the power tool on a firm surface, e.g. a work bench.
Hold the power tool in place and loosen the keyless chuck
(1) by turning the hex key (13) in the rotational direction ➊.
A tightly seated keyless chuck is loosened with a light blow
on the long shaft of the hex key (13). Remove the hex key
from the keyless chuck and completely unscrew the keyless
chuck from the power tool.
Fitting the Drill Chuck (see figure F)
To fit the keyless chuck (1), perform the same steps in re-
verse order.
After successfully fitting the drill chuck, remove the
u
steel pin from the hole again.
The drill chuck must be tightened using a tight-
ening torque of approx. 30–35 Nm.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one's
health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci-
nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment ad-
