General instructions
Bosch Drills GBM 13-2 and GBM 13 RE have been devel-
oped to execut the mor different drilling typs in: steel, alu-
minium, wood and others.
The GBM 13 RE has an electronic switch that allows a grad
-
uation on the speed and lever for speed reversion that al
-
lows the use of this drill as screw driver.
By using other accessories, you will be able to do small jobs
of: sanding, polishing, griding, brushing, etc.
Safety
• Read with attention and understand all the in-
structions of this manual.
• Before connecting the plug to any electrical
outlet, be sure that the voltage matches the in-
dications on the tool’s name plate.
• Never connect the plug to the electric supply
with the tool switched on.
• Always check the general conditions of your
tool’s cord, plugs and of the electrical outlets. In
case of damage, have them replaced immediately.
• In case of power cord replacement always use P/N as in-
dicated in Parts List included in product documentation.
• Do not remove the plug from the electric cord; it will pro-
tect you against electric shocks and short-circuits from
the mains.
• Unplug the tool before servicing and when changing ac-
cessories.
• Wear all the protective equipment recommended, such
as apron and gloves, safety goggles, ear-plugs, etc.
• Don’t use damaged accessories such as stiff bits, worn
out sanding paper, split grinding wheels, etc.
• Do not work materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is
considered carcinogenic.
• Take protective measures when dust can develop dur-
ing working that is harmful to one’s health, combustible
or explosive. Example: Some dusts are regarded as car-
cinogenic. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip ex-
traction when connectable.
• Don’t use your tool in damp locations.
• Don’t use your tool in the presence of flamable
fluids or gases. Danger of explosion!
• Before drilling walls and ceilings, be sure
there are no water pipes, electric conduits, gas
lines, etc.
• Watch out for the initial torque reaction of the
drill, especially when drill bit is tight.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
• Do not wear loose clothing.
• Keep proper and safe footing when handling
the tool.
• Do not place such loads on the machine that it ceases to
turn. Damage the motor.
• Consult general safety instructions in the page 13.
Operation
Before connecting the plug to any electrical single-phase
outlet, be sure that the voltage matches the indications on
the tool’s name plate. A voltage in excess will increase the
revolution/peripheral of accesories speed; a smaller voltage
will reduce the power. Of tool’s in both cases, the tool’s mo-
tor will be damaged and the user will be exposed to haz-
ards.
Switch
Its basic function is to switch the motor ON
(intermittent or continuous) and
OFF.
