This document serves as a comprehensive manual for the Bosch Uneo, a cordless rotary hammer designed for a variety of drilling and screwdriving tasks. The manual provides detailed instructions for safe operation, maintenance, and proper use of the tool and its accessories.
The Uneo is primarily intended for hammer drilling in concrete, brick, and stone, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications where impact force is required. Beyond its primary function, it also excels at drilling without impact in softer materials such as wood, metal, ceramic, and plastic. This versatility is further enhanced by its screwdriving capability, allowing it to function as a multi-purpose tool for construction, renovation, and DIY projects. The integrated light on the power tool is designed to illuminate the immediate work area, ensuring better visibility during operation, though it is not intended for general room illumination.
For safe and efficient operation, the Uneo incorporates several key features. The battery charge-control indicator, a three-colour illuminating LED, provides a quick visual check of the battery's remaining capacity. This indicator lights up for a few seconds when the On/Off switch is partially or fully pressed, showing green for ≥66% charge, orange for >33%–66%, continuous red for >11%–33%, and flashing red for ≤11%. This feature helps users manage their work and avoid unexpected power interruptions. The tool also features a rotational direction switch, which should be set to the centre position when transporting or storing the device to prevent accidental activation.
The Uneo is designed to be used with specific battery packs and chargers recommended by Bosch to ensure optimal performance and safety. Using non-specified battery packs can pose a risk of injury and fire. The battery itself is a Li-ion type, which requires careful handling. It should be protected from heat, intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture to prevent explosion. In case of damage or improper use, the battery may emit vapours, necessitating ventilation of the area and medical attention if complaints arise. The battery is supplied partially charged and should be fully charged before its first use to ensure maximum capacity.
The tool holder is designed for SDS-Quick drilling tools, which are easily inserted and secured by pulling the tool to check latching. For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic, and plastic, users can also employ suitable SDS-Quick tools or application tools with a hexagon shank. The manual provides clear instructions for inserting and removing various application tools, including those with hexagon shanks and round shanks, as well as the keyless chuck.
Operating modes and rotation direction can be selected via a dedicated switch, allowing users to adapt the tool to the specific task at hand. The maximum torque is achieved in the screwdriving operating mode (1st gear), while the maximum no-load speed is reached in the drilling and hammer drilling modes. Users are advised to apply the power tool to the screw only when it is switched off to prevent rotating tool inserts from slipping off.
Maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the Uneo. The manual emphasizes keeping the machine and its ventilation slots clean. After each use, the application tool, tool holder, and all ventilation slots (power tool and battery) should be cleaned. This prevents dust accumulation, which can easily ignite and affect performance. The dust protection cap, which largely prevents drilling dust from entering the tool holder, should be replaced immediately if damaged. When inserting tools, care must be taken not to damage this cap.
Personal safety is paramount when operating the Uneo. Users are warned to wear ear protectors to prevent hearing loss due to noise exposure. Auxiliary handles, if supplied, must be used to maintain control and prevent personal injury. When performing operations where cutting accessories or fasteners might contact hidden wiring, the tool should be held by its insulated gripping surfaces to avoid electric shock. It is also recommended to use appropriate detectors to locate hidden utility lines (electrical, gas, water) before drilling to prevent fire, electric shock, explosion, or property damage.
The manual also highlights the importance of maintaining a clean and well-lit work area, keeping children and bystanders away, and avoiding operation in explosive atmospheres. Users should stay alert, use common sense, and avoid operating the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. Personal protective equipment, including eye protection, dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, and hearing protection, should always be worn.
In case the application tool becomes blocked, the machine should be switched off immediately and the tool loosened. Switching on the tool with a blocked drilling tool can result in high torque reaction. The workpiece should always be secured with clamping devices or in a vice, as this provides a more secure hold than by hand. To save energy, the power tool should only be switched on when actively in use.
The Bosch after-sales service and application service are available for questions regarding maintenance, repair, and spare parts. Exploded views and information on spare parts can be found on the Bosch Power Tools website. When contacting service, the 10-digit article number from the product's nameplate should always be provided. This ensures that users receive the correct parts and support for their specific device.
