Recommendations for optimal handling of the battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of 0 to 50
°C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for ex-
ample.
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.
Maintenance and Servicing
Maintenance and cleaning
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
Replacing the carbon brushes (see figure D)
Check the length of the carbon brushes around every 2–3
months and replace both carbon brushes if required.
Never replace only a single carbon brush.
Note: Only used carbon brushes supplied by Bosch and in-
tended specifically for your product.
– Unscrew the caps (16) using a suitable screwdriver.
– Replace the spring-loaded carbon brushes (15) and
screw the caps back on.
If the battery is no longer working, please contact an author-
ised after-sales service agent for Bosch power tools.
