Bosch Power Tools

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using
it.
Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only when it is
switched off.
Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
If the application tool should become blocked, switch
the machine off. Loosen the application tool.
When switching on with a blocked drilling tool, high
torque reaction can occur.
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down.
The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the On/Off
switch is in the off position before inserting battery
pack.
Carrying the power tool with your finger on the
On/Off switch or inserting the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Do not open the battery.
Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against con-
tinuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture.
Danger of explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek
medical help in case of complaints.
The vapours can irri-
tate the respiratory system.
Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch
power tool.
This measure alone protects the battery
against dangerous overload.
Use only original Bosch batteries with the voltage list-
ed on the nameplate of your power tool.
When using oth-
er batteries, e.g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or
other brands, there is danger of injury as well as property
damage through exploding batteries.
The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full ca-
pacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first
time.
Read the operating instructions of the battery charger.
Check the tight seating of the battery. Two locking lev-
els are possible.
