If the cable is damaged or cut through while work-
ing, do not touch the cable but immediately pull the
mains plug. Never use the machine with a dam-
aged cable.

Bosch is able to ensure flawless functioning of the
machine only if the original accessories intended
for it are used.
Take care that the dust protection cap 2 is not
damaged when changing tools.
SDS-plus Tools
The SDS-plus tool is designed to be freely movable.
This causes eccentricity when the machine is off-load.
However, the drill automatically centres itself during
operation. This does not affect drilling precision.
Inserting (Fig.
)
Clean and lightly oil the tool before inserting.
Insert the dust-free tool into the tool holder
1
with
twisting until it latches.
The tool locks itself. Check the locking by pulling on
the tool.
Removing (Fig.
)
Pull the locking sleeve
3
to the rear
(a)
and hold while
removing the tool
(b)
.
Tools without SDS-plus
Do not use tools without SDS-plus for hammer
drilling or chiselling!
To work with tools without SDS-plus (e.g., drills with
cylindrical shafts), a drill chuck
10
with a SDS-plus
chuck shaft
11
(optional accessory) must be inserted
into the tool holder (Fig.
).
Insert the dust-free, assembled chuck into the tool
holder
1
with twisting until it latches (Fig.
).
The chuck locks itself. Check the locking by pulling on
the chuck.
Srewdriver Bits (Fig.
)
For screwdriver bits, use the SDS-plus adapter
12
(op-
tional accessory).
