PRIMARY USES
1. Versatile Drilling and Light Chiselling for Construction and Renovation
Primary Use: A compact 18V cordless rotary hammer (2.0 J impact energy, SDS-plus) used for drilling in concrete, brick, wood, and steel, as well as for light chiselling tasks. Essential for electricians, plumbers, and construction professionals requiring cordless freedom and a lightweight tool for overhead work.
How it helps: For tradespeople, the brushless motor delivers a lasting performance with no sparks and less heat generation. The powerful impact system with 2.0 Joules of impact energy and three operating modes makes it versatile for various applications. The lightweight design (2.3 kg without battery) provides comfortable handling, especially when drilling overhead, and the increased runtime per battery charge (20% more than the previous model) ensures longer work sessions.
2. Three Operating Modes for Maximum Versatility
Primary Use: Features three operating modes for drilling, hammer drilling, and chiselling, allowing users to tackle a wide range of applications with a single tool.
How it helps: The rotary selector switch allows easy switching between functions. The hammer drilling mode delivers efficient progress in concrete with a drilling diameter of 4-20mm (optimal range 6-10mm) using SDS-plus bits. The chiselling mode enables light chiselling tasks such as tile removal or chasing. The drilling mode with rotation only allows for drilling into wood (up to 30mm) and steel (up to 13mm) using round shank bits.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear safety goggles, hearing protection, and heavy-duty gloves. Use respiratory protection when drilling in materials that generate dust.
Electrical Safety: Use with original Bosch Professional 18V batteries and chargers only. Do not use damaged batteries or chargers.
Dust Hazard: Drilling in concrete and masonry generates silica dust. Use appropriate respiratory protection (at least P2 or N95 mask) and dust extraction where possible.
Kickback Hazard: Maintain a firm grip and proper stance. Be prepared for sudden reactions if the bit jams.
Maintenance: Remove battery before changing bits or performing maintenance. Allow the tool to cool before storing.
Training requirement: Operators should be familiar with correct usage and safety procedures.
2. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Injury (debris): Do not rub. Rinse immediately with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention.
Cut Injury: Apply direct pressure to stop bleeding. Clean wound with clean water. Cover with sterile dressing. Seek medical attention if bleeding is profuse or the wound is deep.
Skin Contact (dust): Wash skin with soap and water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention.
Inhalation of Dust: Move a person to fresh air. If symptoms persist (coughing, difficulty breathing), seek medical attention.
3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability: The tool casing may burn if exposed to fire. Lithium-ion batteries can leak or rupture if exposed to high temperatures.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide (CO₂) for fires involving tools.
Fire Response: In event of fire, evacuate the area and call emergency services. Use appropriate extinguishers; water may be used for general fires but not for electrical fires where live equipment is involved.
