Device Description
The GTB 12V-11 is a professional cordless screwdriver designed for driving and loosening screws. It features an adjustable depth stop, a work light for low-light conditions, and an electronic cell protection (ECP) system to protect the battery from deep discharge and overload.

For safe and proper operation, keep the tool and ventilation slots clean. Regularly clean the universal bit holder and depth stop with compressed air to ensure trouble-free operation. If the battery is no longer functional, contact an authorized Bosch service center.
Safety
Always hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing operations where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Secure the workpiece using clamps or a vice. Protect the battery from heat, fire, water, and moisture to avoid explosion risks.
