Safety Notes

General Power Tool Safety Warnings 

WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
  There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
  Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
  Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
  Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Battery tool use and care

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Hammer Safety Warnings

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage.
• When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
• Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
• Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
  Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.
• In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
• Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch power tool. This measure alone protects the battery against dangerous overload.
• The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit can occur and the battery can burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

Noise/Vibration Information

Sound emission values determined according to EN 60745-2-6.

Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are: Sound pressure level 90 dB(A); sound power level 101 dB(A). Uncertainty K=3 dB.

Wear hearing protection!

Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and uncertainty Kdetermined according to EN 60745-2-6:
Hammer drilling into concrete: ah=14.5 m/s2, K=1.5 m/s2,
Chiselling: ah= 9.5 m/s2, K= 1.5 m/s2.
Drilling into metal: ah<2.5 m/s2, K=1.5 m/s2
Screwdriving without impact: ah<2.5 m/s2 , K =1.5 m/s2.

The vibration level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or insertion tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

Technical Data

Assembly

Battery Charging (see figure A)

• Use only the battery chargers listed on the accessories page. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of your power tool.

Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.

The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery.

The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.

• Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the machine has been automatically switched off. The battery can be damaged.

Removing the battery
The battery 11 is equipped with two locking levels that should prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery unlocking button 18 unintentionally. As long as the battery is inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a spring.

To remove the battery 11:

• Push the battery against the base of the power tool (1.) and at the same time press the battery unlocking button 18 (2.).
• Pull the battery out of the power tool until a red stripe becomes visible (3.).
• Press the battery unlocking button 18 again and pull out the battery completely.

Battery Charge-control Indication

The three green LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator 20 indicate the charge condition of the battery 11. For safety reasons, it is only possible to check the status of the charge condition when the machine is at a standstill.

• Push button 21 to indicate the charge condition (also possible when the battery is removed). The battery charge control indicator automatically goes out after approx. 5 seconds.

When no LED lights up after pushing button 21, then the battery is defective and must be replaced.

During the charging procedure, the three green LEDs light up one after the other and briefly go out. The battery is fully charged when the three green LEDs light up continuously. The three LEDs go out again approx. 5 minutes after the battery has been fully charged.

Auxiliary Handle

• Operate your machine only with the auxiliary handle 16.

Changing the position of the auxiliary handle (see figure B)

The auxiliary handle 16 can be set to any position for a secure and low-fatigue working posture.

• Turn the bottom part of the auxiliary handle 16 in counterclockwise direction and swivel the auxiliary handle 16 to the desired position. Then retighten the bottom part of the auxiliary handle 16 by turning in clockwise direction.

Pay attention that the clamping band of the auxiliary handle is positioned in the groove on the housing as intended for.
Selecting Drill Chucks and Tools For hammer drilling and chiselling, SDS-plus tools are required that are inserted in the SDS-plus drill chuck.

For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and plastic as well as for screwdriving, tools without SDS-plus are used (e.g., drill bits with cylindrical shank). For these tools, a keyless chuck or a key type drill chuck are required.

Inserting/Removing the Key Type Drill Chuck (GBH 36 V-LI Plus)

To work with tools without SDS-plus (e.g., drills with cylindrical shank), a suitable drill chuck must be mounted (key type drill chuck or keyless chuck, accessories).

Mounting the Key Type Drill Chuck (see figure C)

• Screw the SDS-plus adapter shank 24 into a key type drill chuck 23. Secure the key type drill chuck 23 with the securing screw 22. Please observe that the securing screw has a left-hand thread.

Inserting the Key Type Drill Chuck (see figure C)

• Clean the shank end of the adapter shank and apply a light coat of grease.
• Insert the key type drill chuck with the adapter shank into the tool holder with a turning motion until it automatically locks.
• Check the locking effect by pulling the key type drill chuck.

Removing the Key Type Drill Chuck

• Push the locking sleeve 5 toward the rear and pull out the key type drill chuck 23.

Removing/Inserting the Quick Change Chuck (GBH 36 VF-LI Plus)

The SDS-plus quick change chuck 2 can easily be replaced against the quick change keyless chuck 1 provided.

Removing the Quick Change Chuck (see figure D)

• Pull the lock ring for the quick change chuck 6 toward the rear, hold it in this position and pull off the SDS-plus quick change chuck 2 or the quick change keyless chuck 1 toward the front.
• After removing, protect the replacement chuck against contamination.

Inserting the Quick Change Chuck (see figure E)

• Use only model-specific original equipment and pay attention to the number of identification grooves 26.Only quick-change chucks with two or three identification grooves are permitted. When an unsuitable quick-change chuck is used, the application tool could fall out during operation.
• Before inserting, clean the quick change chuck and apply a light coat of grease to the shank end.
• Grasp the SDS-plus quick change chuck 2 or the quick change keyless chuck 1 completely with your hand. Slide the quick change chuck with a turning motion onto the drill chuck mounting 25 until a distinct latching noise is heard.
• The quick change chuck is automatically locked. Check the locking effect by pulling the quick change chuck.

Changing the Tool

The dust protection cap 4 largely prevents the entry of drilling dust into the tool holder during operation. When inserting the tool, take care that the dust protection cap 4 is not damaged.

• A damaged dust protection cap should be changed immediately. We recommend having this carried out by an after-sales service.

Changing the Tool (SDS-plus)

Inserting SDS-plus Drilling Tools (see figure F)

The SDS-plus drill chuck allows for simple and convenient changing of drilling tools without the use of additional tools.

• GBH 36 VF-LI Plus: Insert the SDS-plus quick change chuck 2.
• Clean and lightly grease the shank end of the tool.
• Insert the tool in a twisting manner into the tool holder until it latches itself.
• Check the latching by pulling the tool.

As a requirement of the system, the SDS-plus drilling 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 SDS-plus Drilling Tools (see figure G)

• Push back the locking sleeve 5 and remove the tool.

Changing the Tool (without SDS-plus) (GBH 36 V-LI Plus)

Inserting (see figure H)

Note: Do not use tools without SDS-plus for hammer drilling or chiselling! Tools without SDS-plus and their drill chucks are damaged by hammer drilling or chiselling.

• Insert a key type drill chuck 23 (see “Inserting/Removing the Key Type Drill Chuck”, page 18).
• Open the key type drill chuck 23 by turning until the tool can be inserted. Insert the tool.
• Insert the chuck key into the corresponding holes of the key type drill chuck 23 and clamp the tool uniformly.
• Turn the mode selector switch 13 to the “drilling” position.

Removing (see figure I)

• Turn the sleeve of the key type drill chuck 23 with the drill chuck key in anticlockwise direction until the drilling tool can be removed.

Changing the Tool (without SDS-plus)
(GBH 36 VF-LI Plus)

Inserting (see figure J)

Note: Do not use tools without SDS-plus for hammer drilling or chiselling! Tools without SDS-plus and their drill chucks are damaged by hammer drilling or chiselling.

• Insert the quick change keyless chuck 1.
• Firmly hold the retaining ring 29 of the quick change chuck. Open the tool holder by turning the front sleeve 28 until the tool can be inserted. Tightly hold the retaining ring 29 and firmly turn the front sleeve 28 in the direction of the arrow until a distinct latching noise can be heard.
• Check the tight seating by pulling the tool.

Note: If the tool holder was opened to the stop, then the latching noise possibly may be heard while closing the tool holder and the tool holder will not close.
In this case, turn the front sleeve 28 once in the opposite direction of the arrow. Afterwards, the tool holder can be closed (tightened) again.

• Turn the mode selector switch 13 to the “drilling” position.

Removing (see figure K)

• Firmly hold the retaining ring 29 of the quick change chuck. Open the tool holder by turning the front sleeve 28 in the direction of the arrow until the tool can be removed.

Dust Extraction with GDE 16 Plus (Accessory)

• Dusts 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 dusts can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or bystanders.
  Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
  • As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable for the material.
  • Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
  • It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
    Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked.
• Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can easily ignite.

A GDE 16 Plus (accessory) is required for dust extraction. The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being worked.

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.

Operation

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery

• Set the rotational direction switch 8 to the centre position to protect the power tool against accidental starting.
• Insert the charged battery pack 11 from the rear into the base of the power tool. Press the battery pack completely into the base until the red stripe can no longer be seen and the battery pack is securely locked.

Setting the operating mode

The operating mode of the power tool is selected with the mode selector switch 13.

Note: Change the operating mode only when the machine is switched off! Otherwise, the machine can be damaged.

• To change the operating mode, push the release button 12 and turn the mode selector switch 13 to the requested position until it can be heard to latch.

The mode selector switch 13 does not latch in this position.

Position for chiselling

Reversing the rotational direction
The rotational direction switch 8 is used to reverse the rotational direction of the machine. However, this is not possible with the On/Off switch 10 actuated.

Right rotation: Move the rotational direction switch 8 all the way to position .
Left rotation: Move the rotational direction switch 8 all the way to position .

Set the direction of rotation for hammer drilling, drilling and chiselling always to right rotation.

Switching On and Off
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

• To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 10.

When starting the machine for the first time, a starting delay is possible, as the electronic system of the power tool has to configure itself first.

• To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 10.

Setting the Speed/Impact Rate
The speed/impact rate of the switched on power tool can be variably adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch 10 is pressed.

Light pressure on the On/Off switch 10 results in low speed/impact rate. Further pressure on the switch increases the speed/impact rate.

Electronic Precision Control (EPC) (see figure L)

EPC assists you when working with impact in sensitive materials by ensuring slow start-up and reduced operating speed.

• Slide the EPC switch 30 to the desired position.

Position for maximum operating speed

Position for slow start-up and reduced operating speed

 

Overload Clutch

• If the tool insert becomes caught or jammed, the drive to the drill spindle is interrupted. Because of the forces that occur, always hold the power tool firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance.
• If the power tool jams, switch the machine off and loosen the tool insert. When switching the machine on with the drilling tool jammed, high reaction torques can occur.

Rapid Shut-off (ERC)
The rapid shut-off feature enables better control of the power tool. The power tool shuts off in case of sudden and unexpected rotation of the power tool around the drilling axis.

Rapid shut-off is indicated by flashing of the worklight 14 on the power tool.

• To restart the machine, release the On/Off switch and then actuate again.
• Rapid shut-off can trigger only when the power tool is running at maximum operating speed and can rotate freely around the drill bit axis. Choose a suitable work position for this. Otherwise, rapid shut-off will not be ensured.

Temperature Control Indicator

The red LED of the temperature control indicator 19 signals that the battery or the electronics of the power tool (when the battery is inserted) are not within the optimum temperature range. In this case, the power tool will not operate at full capacity.

Temperature control of the battery:

• The red LED 19 lights up continuously after inserting the battery into the charger: The battery is not within the charging temperature range between 0 °C and 45 °C and cannot be charged.
• The red LED 19 flashes when you press the 21 button or the On/Off switch 10 (with battery inserted): The battery is outside of the permitted operating temperature range.
• For battery temperatures over 70 °C, the power tool switches off until the battery is in the optimal temperature range again.

Temperature control of the power tool electronics:

• The red LED 19 lights up continuously when pressing the On/Off switch 10: The temperature of the machine’s electronics is below 5 °C or above 75 °C.
• At a temperature above 90 °C , the electronics of the power tool switch off until the temperature is within the allowable temperature range again.

Working Advice

Adjusting the Drilling Depth (see figure M)

The required drilling depth X can be set with the depth stop 17.

• Press the button for the depth stop adjustment 15 and insert the depth stop into the auxiliary handle 16.
  The knurled surface of the depth stop 17 must face downward.
• Insert the SDS-plus drilling tool to the stop into the SDSplus tool holder 3. Otherwise, the movability of the SDSplus drilling tool can lead to incorrect adjustment of the drilling depth.
• Pull out the depth stop until the distance between the tip of the drill bit and the tip of the depth stop corresponds with the desired drilling depth X.

Changing the Chiselling Position (Vario-Lock)
The chisel can be locked in 36 positions. In this manner, the optimum working position can be set for each application.

• Insert the chisel into the tool holder.
• Turn the mode selector switch 13 to the “Vario-Lock” position (see “Setting the operating mode”, page 20).
• Turn the tool holder to the desired chiselling position.
• Turn the mode selector switch 13 to the “chiselling” position. The tool holder is now locked.
• For chiselling, set the rotation direction to right rotation.

Inserting Screwdriver Bits (see figure N)

• Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only when it is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.

To work with screwdriver bits, a universal bit holder 31 with SDS-plus shank (accessory) is required.

• Clean the shank end of the adapter shank and apply a light coat of grease.
• Insert the universal bit holder with a turning motion into the tool holder until it automatically locks.
• Check the locking effect by pulling the universal bit holder.
• Insert a screwdriver bit into the universal bit holder. Use only screwdriver bits that match the screw head.
• To remove the universal bit holder, pull the locking sleeve 5 toward the rear and remove the universal bit holder 31 out of the tool holder.

Vibration Damper

The integrated vibration damper reduces occurring vibrations.

The soft grip handle increases the safety against slipping off and thus provides for a better grip and handling of the power tool.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery

Protect the battery against moisture and water.

Store the battery only within a temperature range between

• 20 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the battery in the car in summer.

Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a soft, clean and dry brush.

A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the battery is used and must be replaced. Observe the notes for disposal.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
  There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating the On/Off switch.
• For safe and proper working, always keep the machine and ventilation slots clean.
• A damaged dust protection cap should be changed immediately. We recommend having this carried out by an after-sales service.
  • Clean the tool holder 3 each time after using.
