Quick guide from the manual
The Bosch GSR 12V-15 FC Professional is a cordless drill/driver designed for driving and loosening screws, as well as drilling in wood, metal, and plastic. It features a modular design compatible with four different adapters: GFA 12-W (angle), GFA 12-E (off-set angle), GFA 12-X (bit holder), and GFA 12-B (drill chuck).
Device description
The tool includes a tool holder, torque presetting ring, gear selector, battery release buttons, rotational direction switch, on/off switch, battery charge indicator, and a worklight.
Assembly
Charging the battery: Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. The battery is supplied partially charged; charge it fully before first use. The Li-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by Electronic Cell Protection (ECP).
Changing the tool: Always remove the battery before performing any work on the tool (maintenance, tool change, etc.) or for transport/storage.
Fitting the adapter: Remove the application tool. Insert the adapter into the holder (1) and turn the locking ring (14) until it clicks into place.
Operation
Start-up: Set the rotational direction switch (6) to the middle position to prevent accidental starting. Insert the charged battery (5) into the handle until it engages.
Setting the rotational direction: Use the switch (6) to change the direction. Right rotation for drilling/screwing; left rotation for loosening.
Torque preselection: Use the ring (2) to select the torque in 15 stages. The overload clutch is deactivated in the drill position.
Mechanical gear selection: Use the gear selector (3) only when the tool is at a standstill. Gear I is for low speed (screwdriving/large drilling diameters), and Gear II is for high speed (small drilling diameters).
Maintenance and cleaning
Always remove the battery before maintenance. Keep the tool and ventilation slots clean for safe and efficient operation.
