Changing the Tool, Overload Clutch | Bosch Power Tools GBH 24 V

Auxiliary Handle/Depth Stop (see figure C )

■Operate the machine only with the auxiliary handle 10.

Loosen the handle by turning to the left. Rotate the auxiliary handle 10 and adapt to the working position. Make sure that the clamping band 11 of the auxiliary handle remains in the groove.

Afterwards tighten the handle again by turn- ing in clockwise direction.

The drilling depth can be set with the depth stop 3.

For this, press the push-button for the depth-stop adjustment 4, adjust the required drilling depth X and release the push-button for the depth-stop adjustment 4 again.

The ribbing on depth stop 3 must point upwards.

Changing the Tool

■Before any work on the machine itself, re- move the battery.

With the SDS-plus tool holder, simpler and easier tool changing is possible without additional aids.

☞Greaselarly. the shank end of the tool regu-

The dust protection cap 1 largely prevents the entry of drilling dust during operation. When in- serting the tool, take care that the dust protection cap 1 is not damaged.

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

☞As a requirement of the system, the SDS-plus tool must rotate freely. At no-load speed, this leads to a certain amount of ra- dial run-out.

This does not affect the accuracy of the drill hole, as the bit is automatically centred dur- ing drilling.

Inserting (see figure A )

Clean and grease the shank end of the tool.

Insert the tool in a twisting manner into the tool holder until it locks. Check if it has locked by pull- ing the tool.

Removing (see figure B )

Push back the locking sleeve 2 of the tool holder and remove the tool.

Initial Operation

Inserting the Battery

Set the rotational direction switch 7 to the centre position (lock-off). Insert the charged battery 8 into the handle until it can be felt to engage and is seated flush on the machine.

Switching On and Off

To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 6 and keep it depressed.

The machine runs with variable speed between 0 and maximum, depending on the pressure applied to the On/Off switch 6. Light pres- sure on the On/Off switch 6 results in low rotational speed, thus allow- ing drilling to begin in a smooth, controlled manner. Further pres- sure on the switch results in an in- crease in speed.

To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 6.

Do not strain the machine so heavily that it comes to a standstill.

■The machine is not suitable for stationary op- eration, e. g., in a drill stand.

Overload Clutch

If the drill bit jams or edges, the drive to the drill spindle is interrupted.

Due to the arising forces always hold the machine firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance.

Before pulling out a stuck tool insert, first remove the machine from it.
