Trade designation
Until a few years ago, the trade designation for BOSCH power tools was contained in the ten digit order number.
Example:
angle grinder, order number 0 601 347 003 trade designation 1347
Today, the trade designation is composed alphanumerically and independent of the order number. It consists of four main elements.
Example:
| G | WS | 9-125 | CE |
| | | | | | | | |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
The first letter assigns the machine to its range of possible applications:
A = outdoor tool
C = DIY (Combi)
G = for trade and industry
M = micro-tool, etc.
P = DIY (Profi)
U = professional (Universal)
The following group consists of two letters only. It defines the machine in German language for example:
BH = rotary hammer (Bohrhammer)
BM = drill (Bohrmaschine)
SH = demolition hammer (Schlaghammer)
ST = jigsaw (Stichsäge)
WS = angle grinder (Winkelschleifer), etc.
The following numbers represent the key technical data, often abbreviated.
Example:
GWS 7-115
  7  750 watt
115115 mm disc diameter
The following letters represent certain features.
Example:
GST 60 PAE
P = orbital action (Pendelung)
A = dust extraction (Absaugung)
E = electronic control (Steuerelectronic)
Some letters can have multiple meanings, depending on the type of tool, for example:
R = Right/left rotation (Reversible), for example in drills, or vibRator in vacuum cleaners
B = Bow handle on jigsaws or Brake in chainsaws
The following two letters always have the same meaning:
E = Electronic control
C = Constant-Electronic
