FAQs

What is the difference between SDS-Plus and the Quick Change Chuck?

The SDS-Plus chuck is designed for high-torque hammer drilling and chiselling with special SDS-Plus bits, allowing for quick bit changes. The 13mm Quick Change Chuck is for standard cylindrical shank drill bits used in rotary drilling mode without hammering.

Can I use this for general-purpose drilling in wood and metal?

Yes, by switching to the rotary drilling mode (hammer function off) and using the 13mm Quick Change Chuck with appropriate bits for wood or metal.

How powerful is the impact energy?

The Bosch GBH 2-28 F delivers an impact energy of 3.2 Joules.

Is dust extraction included?

Dust extraction attachments are compatible but are sold separately. It is recommended to use them for health and safety, especially when working in enclosed spaces.

What is the warranty period for this tool?

Please refer to the official Bosch Power Tools warranty documentation for the specific warranty period applicable in your region. Typically, professional tools have extended warranty periods upon registration.

What accessories come with the GBH 2-28 F?

The tool is supplied with an SDS-Plus Quick-change Chuck, a 13mm Keyless Chuck, an Auxiliary Handle, a Depth Stop, and an L-BOXX 136 with inlay.

What is the optimal drilling range in concrete?

While it can drill up to 28mm with hammer drill bits, the optimal drilling diameter for efficiency and tool longevity is between 8mm and 16mm.

Troubleshooting

Tool not powering on

Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning 240V outlet. Ensure the On/Off switch is engaged correctly.

Chuck not engaging or releasing bit

Ensure the bit is correctly inserted and seated in the SDS-Plus chuck. Clean any dust or debris from the chuck and the bit shank. Refer to the manual for specific chuck operation.

Excessive vibration or noise

This may indicate wear or damage. Ensure you are using the correct bit for the material. If the problem persists, cease use and contact authorized service.

KickBack Control activated frequently

This indicates the tool is detecting a binding situation. Ensure you are drilling straight and not applying excessive sideways force. Use the correct bit and drilling speed for the material.
