The battery requires approximately 1.5 hours for a full charge.
5.2 Installing Screwdriver Bits
The screwdriver uses standard 1/4-inch hex shank bits.
- Ensure the screwdriver is switched off.
- Push the desired screwdriver bit firmly into the bit holder until it clicks into place.
- To remove a bit, pull it straight out of the bit holder.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Powering On/Off and Direction Selection
The Bosch GO features a slide switch for selecting the rotation direction and locking the tool.
- Forward Rotation (Screwing In): Slide the switch to the 'R' (Right) position.
- Reverse Rotation (Screwing Out): Slide the switch to the 'L' (Left) position.
- Lock Position: Slide the switch to the center position to lock the tool and prevent accidental activation.
6.2 Starting the Screwdriver
The Bosch GO offers two methods to start operation:
- Push&Go Function: With the direction switch set to 'R' or 'L', simply press the screwdriver firmly against the screw head or workpiece. The motor will start automatically.
- Manual Start Button: Alternatively, with the direction switch set to 'R' or 'L', press the red power button on the side of the tool to start the motor.
6.3 Adjusting Torque Settings
The mechanical clutch allows you to select the appropriate torque for your application, preventing overtightening or damage to the screw/material.
- Locate the torque adjustment collar near the front of the screwdriver.
- Rotate the collar to select one of the five available torque settings. Lower numbers indicate lower torque, suitable for smaller screws or softer materials. Higher numbers provide more torque for larger screws or harder materials.
- For maximum power, rotate the collar to the 'MAX' setting. This bypasses the clutch for full torque delivery.
