FAQs

What is the impact energy of the Bosch GBH 18V-26F?

The tool delivers a maximum impact energy of 2.6 Joules.

Can I use this hammer drill for demolition work?

Yes, it is suitable for light to medium chiseling tasks in masonry and concrete. For heavy demolition, a larger, corded hammer might be more appropriate.

What type of chuck does this rotary hammer use?

It features an SDS Plus chuck for hammer drilling and chiseling. A 13 mm quick-change chuck is also included for standard drilling applications.

Is a battery included with the tool?

Batteries and chargers are typically sold separately as part of the Bosch Professional 18V System. Please check the specific product package details.

How do I activate the KickBack Control?

KickBack Control is an electronic safety feature that automatically activates when the tool detects a bind-up situation. There is no manual activation required; it works passively to protect the user.

What is the warranty period for Bosch Professional tools?

Bosch Professional tools typically come with a standard warranty. Please refer to the official Bosch Professional warranty terms for the most accurate and up-to-date information, which often includes options for extended warranties upon registration.

Can I use the GDE 18V-16 dust extraction unit with this hammer?

Yes, the GDE 18V-16 Professional dust extraction unit is an optional accessory designed to integrate with the GBH 18V-26F for a mobile, dust-free working experience.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not start.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the tool's protection systems (e.g., EMP) have been triggered. Verify the on/off switch is functioning correctly.

Reduced drilling or chiseling power.

Check battery charge level. Ensure the drill bit is sharp and not damaged. Clean the SDS Plus chuck and bit receiver for debris. Verify the correct mode (drilling, hammer drilling, chiseling) is selected.

Kickback Control activated frequently.

This indicates the tool is encountering significant resistance. Ease pressure and ensure the bit is correctly centered and sharp. Use the appropriate drilling diameter for the bit and material. Reduce the drilling depth if necessary.

Excessive vibration.

Ensure the auxiliary handle is properly secured. Check the condition of the drill bit. Use the Vibration Control features as intended.

Pros and Cons

  • Enhanced user safety with KickBack Control.
  • Versatile for drilling and chiseling in various materials.
  • Cordless design offers maximum mobility.
  • Compatible with the Bosch Professional 18V system.

Cons

  • Requires Bosch Professional 18V batteries and charger (sold separately).
  • Impact energy might be lower than corded models for extremely demanding tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure a fully charged Bosch Professional 18V battery is securely attached. Insert the appropriate SDS Plus bit or chuck (SDS Plus or the included 13 mm quick-change chuck for non-hammer drilling) firmly until it locks. Attach the auxiliary handle and set the depth gauge to the desired drilling depth.

Compatibility: This tool is part of the Bosch Professional 18V System and is compatible with all Bosch Professional 18V batteries and chargers. It also works with the AMPShare alliance batteries. The optional GDE 18V-16 Professional dust extraction unit is designed for seamless integration.

Care: Keep the tool clean, especially the SDS Plus chuck and ventilation slots. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning the exterior. Regularly check for and clean any dust buildup. Store in the provided L-BOXX when not in use. Ensure bits are kept clean and lubricated as per bit manufacturer recommendations.
