Corded drill Bosch 0 601 049 603 — 550 RPM, 550 W input, 285 W output, 4 cm wood, 1.3 cm steel, 2.1 kg

Wired Bosch drill 0 601 049 603 is a mains-powered hand drill with a nominal input power of 550 W and an idle speed up to 550 RPM. The tool is designed for general-purpose drilling tasks and delivers an output power of approximately 285 W. It is compact and relatively lightweight at 2.1 kg, and it can drill holes up to 40 mm in wood and up to 13 mm in steel. The drill includes features that support precise pilot drilling and secure handling for workshop, construction and repair tasks where a stable corded drill is preferred.

Advantages

The drill’s electronic control enables accurate, steady pilot drilling and consistent speed under load. A sturdy, long auxiliary handle provides improved grip and control for deeper or larger-diameter holes, while a two-finger pressure switch simplifies operation and reduces user fatigue. Forward/reverse rotation allows easy screwdriving and bit removal. The corded design ensures continuous power for extended work sessions without battery changes.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in wood up to 40 mm diameter

How to use

Fit a suitable drill bit in the chuck and tighten securely before connecting the drill to mains power. Select the required rotational direction using the forward/reverse control and apply light pressure using the two-finger switch to start drilling. Use the auxiliary handle to stabilise the tool and maintain a straight drilling line. For pilot holes, use the electronic control to maintain steady low speed; increase speed gradually if the material and bit permit. After drilling, release the switch, wait for the bit to stop, then remove the bit or workpiece as needed.

Recommendations

Use appropriate drill bits for the material (wood or metal) and ensure secure clamping of the workpiece. Wear eye protection and hearing protection as needed. For larger holes in wood or metal, use the auxiliary handle and moderate, steady pressure to reduce bit wear and improve hole quality. Disconnect from the mains before changing bits or performing maintenance.
