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 elec-tric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

  1. Work area safety
    1. Keep work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
    2. 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.
    3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distrac-tions can cause you to lose control.
  2. Electrical safety
    1. 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.
    2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia-tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
    3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
    4. 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.
    5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for out-door use. Use of a cord suitable for out-door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
    6. If operating a power tool in a damp loca-tion is unavoidable, use a residual cur-rent device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
  3. Personal safety
    1. 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 influ-ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious person-al injury.
    2. Use personal protective equipment. Al-ways wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-tion used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
    3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or bat-tery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fin-ger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-dents.
    4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-fore turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
    5. injury.
    6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unex-pected situations.
    7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
    8. If devices are provided for the connec- tion of dust extraction and collection fa-cilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
  4. Power tool use and care
    1. Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-rect power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-signed.
    2. 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 re-paired.
    3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjust-ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
    4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfa-miliar with the power tool or these in-structions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
    5. Maintain power tools. Check for mis-alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi-tion that may affect the power tool’s op-eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
    6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
    7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these in-structions, taking into account the work-ing conditions and the work to be per-formed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
  5. Service
    1. Have your power tool serviced by a qual-ified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Drills

  • Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
  • Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur- faces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. 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 or may cause an electric shock.
  • Switch off the power tool immediately  when the tool insert jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque that can cause kick-back. The tool insert jams when:
    • the power tool is subject to overload or
    • it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
  • 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.
  • Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate- rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.
  • 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.
  • Never use the machine with a damaged ca- ble. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable is dam-aged while working. Damaged cables in-crease the risk of an electric shock.

Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fit-ted in its place by an authorised customer serv-ice agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be in-serted into a mains socket elsewhere. Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a resid-ual current device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

Noise/Vibration Information
Measured sound values determined according to EN 60745.
Typically the A-weighted sound pressure level of the product is 79 dB(A). Uncertainty K=3 dB. The noise level when working can exceed 80 dB(A).

Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) deter-mined according to EN 60745:
Drilling into metal: Vibration emission value
ah=8.5 m/s2, Uncertainty K=4.0 m/s2,
Screwdriving: Vibration emission value
ah<2.5 m/s2, Uncertainty K=1.5 m/s2, Tapping: Vibration emission value ah<2.5 m/s2, Uncertainty K=1.5 m/s2.
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized 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 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 vibra-tion should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is run-ning but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the to-tal 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.

Replacing the Drill Chuck

  • Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.
  • Removing the Securing Screw
  • The keyless chuck 1 as well as the key type drill chuck 14 is secured with a securing screw 17 against unintentional loosening from the drill spindle. Completely open the
  • keyless chuck 1 or the key type drill chuck 14 and unscrew the se-curing screw 17 in clockwise direction. Please note that the securing screw has a left-hand thread.
  • If the securing screw 17 is seated tightly, apply a screwdriver to the screw head and loosen the securing screw by giving a blow onto the handle of the screwdriver.

Dismounting the Key Type Drill Chuck
(see figure E)
To dismount the key type drill chuck 14, position an open-end spanner 18 (size 17 mm) against the spanner flats of the drive spindle.
Place the machine on a firm surface, e. g. a work bench. Insert the chuck key 13 into one of the three holes of the key type drill chuck 14 and loosen the key type drill chuck 14 with this lever by turning in anticlockwise direction. A tightly seated key type drill chuck is is loosened with a light blow on the chuck key 13. Remove the chuck key 13 from the key type drill chuck and completely unscrew it from the machine.
Dismounting the Keyless Chuck
To remove the keyless chuck 1, clamp an Allen key into the keyless chuck 1 and position the open-end wrench 18 (size 17) against the span-ner flats of the drive spindle. Place the machine on a firm surface, e.g. a workbench. Hold the open-end wrench 18 firmly and loosen the key-less chuck 1 by turning the Allen key in anti-clockwise direction. A tightly sitting keyless chuck is loosened with a light blow onto the long end of the Allen key. Remove the Allen key from the keyless chuck and completely unscrew it from the machine.

Mounting the Drill Chuck
The keyless chuck/key type drill chuck is mount-ed in reverse order.
The drill chuck must be tightened with a tightening torque of approx. 15 Nm.

Screw securing screw 17 in anticlockwise direc-tion into the open keyless/key type drill chuck. Always use a new securing screw, as the thread-locking compound on its thread loses its effect after multiple usage.

Dust/Chip Extraction
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 aller-gic 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.

  • Provide for good ventilation of the work-ing place.
  • It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.

Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked.

Operation

Starting Operation

  1. Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must agree with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

Reversing the Rotational Direction
(GBM 10-2 RE/GBM 13-2 RE)
The rotational direction switch 7 is used to re-verse the rotational direction of the machine. However, this is not possible with the On/Off switch 6 actuated.
Right rotation: Press the rotational direction switch 7 through to the right stop (for drilling and driving screws).
Left rotation: Press the rotational direction switch 7 through to the left stop (for loosening and unscrewing screws and nuts).

Gear Selection, Mechanical
The gear selector 8 can be actuated at standstill or when the machine is running. However, this should not be done while op-erating at full load or maximum speed.

Two-speed ranges can be preselected with the gear selector 8.
Gear I:
Low-speed range; for working with large drilling diameter or for driving in screws.
Gear II:
High-speed range; for working with small drilling diameter.
If the gear selector 8 cannot be fully engaged, lightly rotate the drive spindle with the drill bit by twisting the drill chuck.

Preselecting the Speed
(GBM 10-2 RE/GBM 13-2 RE)
The required speed can be preselected with the thumbwheel 5 (also while running).
The required speed depends on the material to be worked and the diameter of the tool. Deter-mine the optimum setting through practical testing.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 6 and keep it pressed.
To lock the pressed On/Off switch 6, press the lock-on button 4.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 6 or when it is locked with the lock-on button 4, briefly press the On/Off switch 6 and then release it.

Adjusting the Speed
(GBM 10-2 RE/GBM 13-2 RE)
The speed of the switched on power tool can be variably adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch 6 is pressed.Light pressure on the On/Off switch 6 results in a low rotational speed. Further pressure on the switch results in an increase in speed.

Working Advice
Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only when it is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
For drilling in metal, use only perfectly sharp-ened HSS drill bits (HSS=high-speed steel). The appropriate quality is guaranteed by the Bosch accessories program.
Twist drills from 2.5–10 mm can easily be sharpened with the drill bit sharpener (see ac-cessories).
We recommend the use of a drill stand (see ac-cessories) for work where greater precision is particularly required.
The machine vice, which is available as an acces-sory, enables secure clamping of workpieces. This prevents the workpiece from turning and any accidents this would cause.
