Rechargeable Battery - Bosch GWS 18V-180 PC Professional Manual Original

Run-out brake
The power tool is fitted with the electronic
Bosch Brake System. When it is switched off,
the abrasive tool is brought to a complete stop
within a few seconds. This means that the run-
out time is significantly shorter than for angle
grinders without a run-out brake and enables the power tool
to be set down sooner.
Soft start
The electronic soft start limits the torque when the power
tool is switched on and enables a smooth start-up.
Note: If the power tool runs at full speed immediately after
being switched on, this means that the soft start and restart
protection mechanisms have failed. The power tool must be
sent to the after-sales service immediately; see the "After-
Sales Service and Application Service" section for ad-
dresses.
Restart protection
The restart protection feature prevents the power tool from
uncontrolled starting after the power supply to it has been
interrupted.
To restart the tool, set the on/off switch (8) to the off posi-
tion and then switch the power tool on again.
Impact shutdown
The integrated impact shutdown switches the power tool off
as soon as it hits the floor. To restart the tool, set the on/off
switch (8) to the "off" position and then switch the power
tool on again.

Rechargeable battery

Bosch sells some cordless power tools without a re-
chargeable battery. You can tell whether a rechargeable bat-
tery is included with the power tool by looking at the pack-
aging.
Charging the battery
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
u
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are supplied par-
tially charged according to international transport regula-
tions. To ensure full rechargeable battery capacity, fully
charge the rechargeable battery before using your tool for
the first time.
Inserting the Battery
Push the charged battery into the battery holder until it
clicks into place.

Removing the Battery
To remove the rechargeable battery, press the battery re-
lease button and pull the battery out. Do not use force to do
this.
The rechargeable battery has two locking levels to prevent
the battery from falling out if the battery release button is
pressed unintentionally. The rechargeable battery is held in
place by a spring when fitted in the power tool.
Battery charge indicator
The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the
state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only
possible to check the state of charge when the power tool is
not in operation.
Press the button for the battery charge indicator or
show the state of charge. This is also possible when the bat-
tery is removed.
If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery
charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be
replaced.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
