FAQs
What is the main advantage of the brushless motor?
The brushless motor provides increased efficiency, longer runtime per charge, and a longer tool lifespan compared to brushed motors.

Yes, this drill is compatible with all Bosch Professional 18V Li-Ion batteries, except for older, lower-capacity types.
What types of materials can this drill work with?

Troubleshooting
Tool does not power on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check if the battery contacts are clean.
Reduced power or performance
The battery may be low on charge. Recharge the battery. Ensure the drill bit is sharp and not binding. Check for any debris obstructing the ventilation slots.
Chuck is difficult to open or close
Ensure there is no debris inside the chuck. Try gently tapping the chuck while attempting to adjust it. If the issue persists, professional servicing may be required.
Overheating during use
