inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a

spring.

To remove the battery 5, press the unlocking button 6 and

pull out the battery toward the front. Do not exert any force.

Changing the Tool (see figure A–C)

 Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-

nance, 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.

 Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s

fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive ac-

cumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical haz-

ards.

GDR 14,4 V-LI/GDR 18 V-LI/GDX 14,4 V-LI/GDX 18 V-LI:

Inserting

Pull the locking sleeve 2 forward, push the insert tool to the

stop into the tool holder 1 and release the locking sleeve 2 to

lock the insert tool.

Use only screwdriver bits with ball catch 11 (DIN 3126-

E6.3). Other screwdriver bits 13 can be used with a universal

bit holder with ball catch 12.

Removing

Pull the locking sleeve 2 forward and remove the insert tool.

GDS14,4V-LI/GDS18V-LI/GDX14,4V-LI/GDX18V-LI:

 When working with an application tool, pay attention

that the application tool is connected securely on the

tool holder. When the application tool is not securely con-

nected with the tool holder, it can come off during applica-

tion.

Slide the application tool 14 onto the square drive of the tool

holder 1.

However based on the system, if the application tool 14 ap-

pears wobbly after connecting securely on the tool holder 1;

this has no influence on the function/safety.

Operation

Method of Operation

The tool holder 1 with the tool is driven by an electric motor

via a gear and impact mechanism.

The working procedure is divided into two phases:

Screwing in and tightening (impact mechanism in action).

The impact mechanism is activated as soon as the screwed

connection runs tight and thus load is put on the motor. In this

instance, the impact mechanism converts the power of the

motor to steady rotary impacts. When loosening screws or

nuts, the process is reversed.

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery

 Use only original Bosch lithium ion batteries with the

voltage listed on the nameplate of your power tool. Us-

ing other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire haz-

ard.

Set the rotational direction switch 7 to the centre position to

protect the power tool against accidental starting.

Insert the charged battery 5 from the front into the base of the

power tool until the battery is securely locked.

Reversing the rotational direction (see figure D)

The rotational direction switch 7 is used to reverse the rota-

tional direction of the machine. However, this is not possible

with the On/Off switch 8 actuated.

Right rotation: For driving in screws and tightening nuts,

press the rotational direction switch 7 through to the left stop.

Left Rotation: For loosening and unscrewing screws and

nuts, press the rotational direction switch 7 through to the

right stop.

Switching On and Off

To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 8 and keep it

pressed.

The power light 9 lights up when the On/O ff switch 8 is slightly

or completely pressed, and allows the work area to be illumi-

nated when lighting conditions are insufficient.

To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 8.

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

Adjusting the Speed

The speed of the switched on power tool can be variably ad-

justed, depending on how far the On/Off switch 8 is pressed.

Light pressure on the On/Off switch 8 results in a low rotation-

al 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.

The torque depends on the impact duration. The maximum

achieved torque results from the sum of all individual torques

achieved through impact. The maximum torque is achieved

after an impact duration of 6–10 seconds. After this dura-

tion, the tightening torque is increased only minimally.

The impact duration is to be determined for each required

tightening torque. The actually achieved tightening torque is

always to be checked with a torque wrench.

Screw Applications with Hard, Spring-loaded or Soft Seat

When in a test, the achieved torques in an impact series are

measured and transferred into a diagram, resulting in the

curve of a torque characteristic. The height of the curve corre-

sponds with the maximum reachable torque, and the steep-

ness indicates the duration in which this is achieved.
