attention that the application tool is firmly
seated on the tool holder. When the applica-
tion tool is not firmly connected with the tool
holder, it can come loose again and not be
controlled.
Be careful when long screws are screwed
in. Depending on the type of screw and the
tool bit used, there is a danger of slipping.
Long screws are often difficult to control and
the danger exists that the tool bit may slip off
the fastener head and cause injury.
Pay attention to the direction of rotation
that is set before switching on the power
tool. For example, when a screw is to be loos-
ened and the direction of rotation is set so
that the screw is tightened, this can lead to a
strong torque reaction of the power tool.
Do not use this tool as a drill. Tools equipped
with shutoff clutches are not designed for drill-
ing applications. The clutch can shut off auto-
matically and without warning.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-
circuiting.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treat-
ed lumber.

Protect the battery against heat, e. g.,
against continuous intense sunlight, fire,
water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate
the area and seek medical help in case of
complaints. The vapours can irritate the re-
spiratory system.
Use the battery only in conjunction with
your Bosch power tool. This measure alone
protects the battery against dangerous over-
load.
Use only original Bosch batteries with the
voltage listed on the nameplate of your
power tool. When using other batteries, e.g.
imitations, reconditioned batteries or other
brands, there is danger of injury as well as
property damage through exploding batteries.
The battery can be damaged by pointed
objects such as nails or screwdrivers or
by force applied externally. An internal short
circuit can occur and the battery can burn,
smoke, explode or overheat.
Additional Safety Warnings
Your risk from these exposures varies, de-
pending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
