Safety Information For Multifunction Tools; Product Description And Specifications; Intended Use - Bosch AdvancedMulti 18 Manual Original

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
u
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-
tery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
u
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excess-
u
ive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
130°C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
u
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-
u
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.

Safety information for multifunction tools

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
u
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contact-
ing a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
u
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it un-
stable and may lead to loss of control.
Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water entering
u
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Warning: Danger of fire! Avoid overheating the work-
u
piece and the sander. Always empty the dust collector
before taking a break from work. Sanding dust in the
dust bag, microfilter, paper bag (or in the filter bag or va-
cuum cleaner filter) can spontaneously combust under
certain conditions, for example if flying sparks are cre-
ated when sanding metals. This risk is increased if the
sanding dust is mixed with paint or polyurethane residue
or with other chemical substances and if the workpiece is
hot as a result of prolonged work.
Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach
u
under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can
lead to injuries.
Clean the air vents on your power tool regularly. The
u
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and ex-

cessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause elec-
trical hazards.
Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hid-
u
den supply lines or contact the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause
fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to ex-
plosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make
u
sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be
more securely guided with both hands.
When changing the application tool, wear protective
u
gloves.Application tools can become hot when used for
prolonged periods of time.
Do not scrape any dampened materials (e.g. wallpa-
u
per) or on damp surfaces. Water entering a power tool
increases the risk of electric shock.
Do not treat the surface you will be working on with
u
any fluids that contain solvents. Poisonous vapours
may develop due to the materials heating up when being
scraped.
Take particular care when handling scrapers and
u
blades. The application tools are very sharp. Danger of in-
jury.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
u
pours may be emitted. Ensure the area is well-ventilated
and seek medical attention should you experience any ad-
verse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory
system.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
u
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g.
against continuous intense sunlight, fire,
water and moisture. There is a risk of explo-
sion.
