General Power Tool
Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in elec-
tric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia-
tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or bat-
tery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-
tating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a)
Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application.
The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with anoth-
er battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any oth-
er battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can make a con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additional-
ly seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Machine-specific
Safety Warnings
f Wear hearing protection. Exposure to noise
can cause hearing loss.
f Always use the auxiliary handle supplied
with the machine. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
f Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can
lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an
electric shock.
f When working with the machine, always
hold it firmly with both hands and provide
for a secure stance. The power tool is guided
more secure with both hands.
f Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
f Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
f Take protective measures when dust can
develop during working that is harmful to
one’s health, combustible or explosive.
Example: Some dusts are regarded as carci-
nogenic. Wear a dust mask and work with
dust/chip extraction when connectable.

Technical Data
Noise/Vibration Information
Measured values determined according to
EN 60745.
Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the prod-
uct are: Sound pressure level 91 dB(A); Sound
power level 102 dB(A). Uncertainty K=3 dB.
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN 60745:
Hammer drilling into concrete: Vibration emis-
sion value a
h
=20 m/s
2
, Uncertainty K=1.5 m/s
2
,
Chiselling: Vibration emission value a
h
=13 m/s
2
,
Uncertainty K=1.5 m/s
2
.
The vibration emission level
given in this information sheet
has been measured in accordance with a stand-
ardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used
to compare one tool with another.
The vibration emission level will vary because of
the ways in which a power tool can be used and
may increase above the level given in this infor-
mation sheet. This could lead to a significant un-
derestimate of exposure when the tool is used
regularly in such a way.
Note: To be accurate, an estimation of the level
of exposure to vibration experienced during a
given period of work should also take into ac-
count the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running but not actually doing the
job. This may significantly reduce the exposure
level over the total working period.

Battery Charging
f Use only the battery chargers listed on the
accessories page. Only these battery charg-
ers are matched to the lithium ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full capacity of the battery, complete-
ly charge the battery in the battery charger be-
fore using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium ion battery can be charged at any
time without reducing its service life. Interrupt-
ing the charging procedure does not damage the
battery.
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep dis-
charging by the “Electronic Cell Protection
(ECP). When the battery is empty, the machine
is switched off by means of a protective circuit:
The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the
On/Off switch after the machine
has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
Removing the Battery
The battery 16 is equipped with two locking lev-
els that should prevent the battery from falling
out when pushing the battery unlocking button
11 unintentionally. As long as the battery is in-
serted in the power tool, it is held in position by
means of a spring.
To remove the battery 16:
Push the battery against the base of the pow-
er tool (1.) and at the same time press the
battery unlocking button 11 (2.).
Pull the battery out of the power tool until a
red stripe becomes visible (3.).

The auxiliary handle 18 can be set to any position
for a secure and low-fatigue working posture.
Turn the bottom part of the auxiliary handle 18
in counterclockwise direction and swivel the
auxiliary handle 18 to the desired position. Then
retighten the bottom part of the auxiliary handle
18 by turning in clockwise direction.
Pay attention that the clamping band of the aux-
iliary handle is positioned in the groove on the
housing as intended for.
Adjusting the Drilling Depth (see figure B)
The required drilling depth X can be set with the
depth stop 17.
Press the button for the depth stop adjustment
12 and insert the depth stop into the auxiliary
handle 18.
The knurled surface of the depth stop 17 must
face downward.
Insert the SDS-plus drilling tool to the stop into
the SDS-plus tool holder 3. Otherwise, the mov-
ability of the SDS-plus drilling tool can lead to
incorrect adjustment of the drilling depth.
Pull out the depth stop until the distance be-
tween the tip of the drill bit and the tip of the
depth stop correspond with the desired drilling
depth X.
Selecting Drill Chucks and Tools
For hammer drilling and chiselling, SDS-plus
tools are required that are inserted in the SDS-
plus drill chuck.
For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ce-
ramic and plastic as well as for screwdriving and
thread cutting, tools without SDS-plus are used
(e.g., drills with cylindrical shank). For these
tools, a keyless chuck or a key type drill chuck
are required.
GBH 36 VF-LI: The SDS-plus quick change chuck
2 can easily be replaced against the quick
change keyless chuck 1 provided.
Changing the Key Type Drill Chuck
(GBH 36 V-LI)
To work with tools without SDS-plus (e.g., drills
with cylindrical shank), a suitable drill chuck
must be mounted (key type drill chuck or key-
less chuck, accessories).
Mounting the Key Type Drill Chuck
(see figure C)
Screw the SDS-plus adapter shank 21 into a key
type drill chuck 20. Secure the key type drill
chuck 20 with the securing screw 19. Please ob-
serve that the securing screw has a left-hand
thread.
Inserting the Key Type Drill Chuck
(see figure D)
Clean the shank end of the adapter shank and
apply a light coat of grease.
Insert the key type drill chuck with the adapter
shank into the tool holder with a turning motion
until it automatically locks.
Check the locking effect by pulling the key type
drill chuck.

(see figure E)
Pull the lock ring for the quick change chuck 6
toward the rear, hold it in this position and pull
off the SDS-plus quick change chuck 2 or the
quick change keyless chuck 1 toward the front.
After removing, protect the replacement chuck
against contamination.
Inserting the Quick Change Chuck
(see figure F)
Before inserting, clean the quick change chuck
and apply a light coat of grease to the shank end.
Grasp the SDS-plus quick change chuck 2 or the
quick change keyless chuck 1 completely with
your hand. Slide the quick change chuck with a
turning motion onto the drill chuck mounting 22
until a distinct latching noise is heard.
The quick change chuck is automatically locked.
Check the locking effect by pulling the quick
change chuck.
Changing the Tool
The dust protection cap 4 largely prevents the
entry of drilling dust into the tool holder during
operation. When inserting the tool, take care
that the dust protection cap 4 is not damaged.
f A damaged dust protection cap should be
changed immediately. We recommend hav-
ing this carried out by an after-sales service.
Inserting SDS-plus Drilling Tools (see figure G)
The SDS-plus drill chuck allows for simple and
convenient changing of drilling tools without the
use of additional tools.
GBH 36 VF-LI: Insert the SDS-plus quick change
chuck 2.
Clean and lightly grease the shank end of the
tool.
Insert the tool in a twisting manner into the tool
holder until it latches itself.
Check the latching by pulling the tool.
As a requirement of the system, the SDS-plus
drilling tool can move freely. This causes a cer-
tain radial run-out at no-load, which has no ef-
fect on the accuracy of the drill hole, as the drill
bit centres itself upon drilling.
Removing SDS-plus Drilling Tools
(see figure H)
Push back the locking sleeve 5 and remove the
tool.
Inserting Drilling Tools without SDS-plus
(GBH 36 V-LI)
Note: Do not use tools without SDS-plus for

Dust Extraction with the Dust
Extraction Attachment (Accessory)
Mounting the Dust Extraction Attachment
(see figure K)
For dust extraction, the dust extraction attach-
ment (accessory) is required. When drilling, the
dust extraction attachment retracts so that the
attachment head is always close to the surface
at the drill hole.
Press the button for depth stop adjustment 12
and remove the depth stop 17. Press button 12
again and insert the dust extraction attachment
into the auxiliary handle 18 from the front.
Connect an extraction hose (diameter 19 mm,
accessory) to the extraction sleeve 25 of the
dust extraction attachment.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det-
rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
Adjusting the Drilling Depth on the Dust
Extraction Attachment (see figure L)
The required drilling depth X can also be adjust-
ed when the dust extraction attachment is
mounted.
Insert the SDS-plus drilling tool to the stop into
the SDS-plus tool holder 3. Otherwise, the mov-
ability of the SDS-plus drilling tool can lead to
incorrect adjustment of the drilling depth.
Loosen the wing bolt 29 on the dust extraction
attachment.
Without switching the power tool on, apply it
firmly to the drilling location. The SDS-plus drill-
ing tool must face against the surface.
Position the the guide pipe 30 of the dust ex-
traction attachment in its holding fixture in such
a manner that the head of the dust extraction at-
tachment faces against the surface to be drilled.
Do not slide the guide pipe 30 further over the
telescopic pipe 28 of the dust extraction attach-
ment than required, so that as much as possible
of the scale 28 on the telescopic pipe remains
visible.
Retighten the wing bolt 29 again. Loosen the
clamping screw 26 on the depth stop of the dust
extraction attachment.
Move the depth stop 27 on the telescopic pipe
28 in such a manner that the clearance X shown
in the figure corresponds with the required drill-
ing depth.
Tighten the clamping screw 26 in this position.

chine can be damaged.
To change the operating mode, push the release
button 9 and turn the mode selector switch 10
to the requested position until it can be heard to
latch.
Reversing the Rotational Direction
(see figure M)
The rotational direction switch 7 is used to re-
verse the rotational direction of the machine.
However, this is not possible with the On/Off
switch 8 actuated.
Right rotation: Push the rotational direction
switch 7 left to the stop.
Left rotation: Push the rotational direction
switch 7 right to the stop.
Set the direction of rotation for hammer drilling,
drilling and chiselling always to right rotation.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 8.
When starting the machine for the first time, a
starting delay is possible, as the electronic sys-
tem of the power tool has to configure itself first.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off
switch 8.
Setting the Speed/Impact Rate
The speed/impact rate of the switched on pow-
er tool can be variably adjusted, depending on
how far the On/Off switch 8 is pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 8 results in
low speed/impact rate. Further pressure on the
switch increases the speed/impact rate.
Overload Clutch
f If the tool insert becomes caught or
jammed, the drive to the drill spindle is in-
terrupted. Because of the forces that occur,
always hold the power tool firmly with both
hands and provide for a secure stance.
f If the power tool jams, switch the machine
off and loosen the tool insert. When switch-
ing the machine on with the drilling tool
jammed, high reaction torques can occur.
Temperature Control Indicator
The red LED of the temperature control indica-
tor 13 signals that the battery or the electronics
of the power tool (when the battery is inserted)
are not within the optimum temperature range.
In this case, the power tool will not operate at
full capacity.
Temperature control of the battery:
The red LED 13 lights up continuously after
inserting the battery into the charger: The
battery is not within the charging tempera-
ture range between 0 °C and 45 °C and can-
not be charged.
The red LED 13 flashes when pushing button
15 or pressing the On/Off switch 8 (when the
battery is inserted): The battery is not wihin
the temperature range for operation of
10 °C to +60 °C.
The battery switches off at a temperature
above 70 °C until the optimum temperature
range is reached again.
Temperature control of the power tool elec-
tronics:
The red LED
13
lights up continuously when
pressing the On/Off switch
8
: The temperature
of the power tool electronics is above 75°C.
At a temperature above 90 °C , the electronics
of the power tool switch off until the temper-
ature is within the allowable temperature
range again.
Position for hammer drilling in con-
crete or stone
Position for drilling without impact
in wood, metal, ceramic and plastic
as well as for screwdriving and
thread cutting.

Operating Instructions
Changing the Chiselling Position (Vario-Lock)
The chisel can be locked in 36 positions. In this
manner, the optimum working position can be
set for each application.
Insert the chisel into the tool holder.
Turn the mode selector switch 10 to the “Vario-
Lock position (see “Setting the Operating
Mode, page 27).
Turn the tool holder to the desired chiselling po-
sition.
Turn the mode selector switch 10 to the “chisel-
ling position. The tool holder is now locked.
For chiselling, set the rotation direction to right
rotation.
Inserting Screwdriver Bits (see figure N)
f Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only
when it is switched off. Rotating tool inserts
can slip off.
To work with screwdriver bits, a universal bit
holder 31 with SDS-plus shank (accessory) is re-
quired.
Clean the shank end of the adapter shank and ap-
ply a light coat of grease.
Insert the universal bit holder with a turning mo-
tion into the tool holder until it automatically locks.
Check the locking effect by pulling the universal
bit holder.
Insert a screwdriver bit into the universal bit
holder. Use only screwdriver bits that match the
screw head.
To remove the universal bit holder, pull the lock-
ing sleeve 5 toward the rear and remove the uni-
versal bit holder 31 out of the tool holder.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling
of the Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature
range between 0 °C and 45 °C. As an example,
do not leave the battery in the car in summer.
Occasionally clean the venting slots of the bat-
tery using a soft, clean and dry brush.
A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the battery is used and
must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
f Before any work on the machine itself (e.g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, remove the
battery from the power tool. There is danger
of injury when unintentionally actuating the
On/Off switch.
f For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
f A damaged dust protection cap should be
changed immediately. We recommend hav-
ing this carried out by an after-sales service.
Clean the tool holder 3 each time after using.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an after-sales service
centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order,
please always include the 10-digit article
number given on the type plate of the machine.
