General Safety Rules

! WARNING Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in

all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 or 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.

Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator.

If operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used to supply the power to your tool. GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety.

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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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 these devices can reduce dust- related hazards.

1005VSR, 1004VSR specifications

Bosch Power Tools is renowned for its innovation and reliability, and two models that stand out in their lineup are the Bosch 1004VSR and the Bosch 1005VSR. Both tools exemplify the company’s commitment to high quality, efficiency, and user-friendly features, making them essential for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.

The Bosch 1004VSR is a powerful 1/2-inch corded drill/driver that combines an impressive 7.0 amp motor with the versatility needed for various applications. With a variable-speed trigger, users can easily control the speed from 0 to 2,800 RPM, ensuring they have the right power for every task. The drill also features a 1/2-inch single-sleeve chuck for easy bit changes and enhanced bit gripping strength. This model is designed for both drilling and driving, with a maximum torque of 600 in-lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty tasks.

On the other hand, the Bosch 1005VSR is a step up in terms of features and technology. It includes a 7.5 amp motor, delivering additional power while maintaining a lightweight profile for ease of use. Like the 1004VSR, it offers a variable-speed trigger, but reaches speeds of 0 to 3,000 RPM. This increased speed capability makes it particularly effective for professionals who require fast drilling and driving solutions. The keyless chuck allows for quick bit changes, while a two-speed transmission provides flexibility between high torque and high speed.

Both models are equipped with enhanced ergonomics, making them comfortable to use for extended periods. They feature soft-grip handles that reduce user fatigue and improve overall control. The compact design of each tool allows for work in tight spaces, a vital characteristic in many construction and renovation projects.

In terms of durability, Bosch has integrated advanced materials and engineering into these tools, ensuring they can withstand rigorous job site conditions. They are designed with heat-resistant motors that help extend their lifespan, providing long-lasting performance.

With features like built-in LED lights and built-in anti-slip clutches, the Bosch 1004VSR and 1005VSR are designed to improve user experience and enhance job efficiency. These tools represent Bosch's ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, reliable power solutions for both professional tradespeople and home improvement enthusiasts.
