Recommendations for Optimal
Handling of the Battery Pack
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
Protect the battery against heat (e.g.,
against continuous intense sunlight), fire,
water, and moisture. There is a risk of explo-
sion.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery
u
pack, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and
seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
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.
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.
Do not short-circuit the battery. There is a risk of explo-
u
sion.
Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a
u
soft, clean and dry brush.
Charge the machine only with the supplied battery
u
charger.
Safety Warnings for Battery
Chargers
Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the safety warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
Use the battery charger only when you fully understand and
can perform all functions without limitation, or have received
appropriate instructions.
Bosch Power Tools
Never allow children, persons with physical, sensory or
u
mental limitations or a lack of experience and/or know-
ledge and/or people unfamiliar with these instructions to
use the battery charger. Local regulations may restrict the
age of the operator.
Supervise children at all times. This will ensure that
u
children do not play with the battery charger.
Charge only Bosch lithium-ion batteries with a capacity
u
above 1.3 Ah (10 battery cells or more). The battery
voltage must match the battery charging voltage of the
charger. Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries. Oth-
erwise there is a danger of fire and explosion.
Keep the battery charger away from rain or
moisture. Penetration of water in the battery
charger increases the risk of an electric shock.
Keep the charger clean. Dirt poses a risk of electric
u
shock.
Always check the charger, cable and plug before use.
u
Stop using the charger if you discover any damage. Do
not open the charger yourself, and have it repaired
only by a qualified specialist using only original re-
placement parts. Damaged chargers, cables and plugs
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not operate the charger on an easily ignited sur-
u
face (e.g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in a flammable envir-
onment. There is a risk of fire due to the charger heating
up during operation.
Do not cover the ventilation slots of the battery char-
u
ger. Otherwise, the battery charger can overheat and no
longer operate properly.
For increased electrical safety, we recommend using a re-
u
sidual current device with a max. tripping current of 30
mA. Before using, always check your residual current
device.
