– Type of backing (washer, disc spring, seal)
– Strength properties of the material being screwed/bolted 

together

– Lubrication conditions at the screw/bolt connection

The following application cases result accordingly:
– A 

hard seat

 is given for metal-to-metal screw applications 

with the use of washers. After a relatively short impact du-
ration, the maximum torque is reached (steep characteris-
tic curve). Unnecessary long impact duration only causes 
damage to the machine.

– A 

spring-loaded seat

 is given for metal-to-metal screw ap-

plications, however with the use of spring washers, disc 
springs, studs or screws / nuts with conical seat as well as 
when using extensions.

– A 

soft seat

 is given for screw applications, e. g., metal on 

wood or when using lead washers or fibre washers as back-
ing.

For a spring-loaded seat as well as for a soft seat, the maxi-
mum tightening torque is lower than for a hard seat. Also, a 
clearly longer impact duration is required.

Reference Values for Maximum Screw/Bolt Tightening Torques

Calculated from the tensional cross-section; utilization of the yield point 90 % (with friction coefficient μ

total

= 0.12). As a control 

measure, always check the tightening torque with a torque wrench.

Tips

Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard materials, it is 
advisable to predrill a pilot hole with the core diameter of the 
thread to approx. 

2

/

3

 of the screw length.

Note: 

Pay attention that no metal particles enter the power 

tool.

Belt Clip

With the belt clip 

4

, the machine can be hung onto a belt. The 

user has both hands free and the machine is always at hand.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery

Protect the battery against moisture and water.

Store the battery only within a temperature range between 
0 ° C and 50 ° C. As an example, do not leave the battery in the 
car in summer.

Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a soft, 
clean and dry brush.

A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.

Observe the notes for disposal.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning



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.



For safe and proper working, always keep the machine 
and ventilation slots clean.

Replacing the Carbon Brushes (see figure E)

Check the length of the carbon brushes approx. every 
2 – 3 months and replace the carbon brushes if required.

Never replace only a single carbon brush!

Note: 

Use only carbon brushes supplied by Bosch and intend-

ed specifically for your product.

– Unscrew the caps 

16

 using a suitable screwdriver.

– Replace the spring-loaded carbon brushes 

15

 and screw 

the caps back on again.

If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufac-
turing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by 
an after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.

In all correspondence and spare parts order, please always in-
clude the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of 
the machine.
