Bosch Power Tools
Additional Safety and
Working Instructions
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age.
If the application tool should become blocked, switch
the machine off. Loosen the application tool.
Before switching on the power tool, make sure that the
application tool moves freely.
When switching on with a
blocked drilling tool, high torque reaction can occur.
For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and
plastic as well as for screwdriving, tools without SDS-plus
are used (e.g., drill bits with cylindrical shank). For these
tools, a keyless chuck or a key type drill chuck are re-
quired.
Replace a damaged dust protection cap immediately.
The dust protection cap largely prevents the penetration of
drilling dust into the tool holder during operation. When in-
serting the tool, pay attention that the dust protection cap
is not damaged.
The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full
capacity 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.
Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only when it is
switched off.
Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance.
The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
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.
Do not open the battery.
Danger of short-circuiting.
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, 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.
The battery pack can be damaged by pointed objects
such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied exter-
nally.
An internal short circuit can occur and the battery
pack can burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
When transporting and storing, set the rotational di-
rection switch to the centre position.
Danger of injury
when accidentally actuating the On/Off switch.
When switching on with a blocked drilling tool, high
torque reaction can occur.
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.
Inserting SDS-plus Drilling Tools:
Check the latching by
pulling the tool.
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one’s health and cause allergic reactions, lead to res-
piratory infections and/or cancer.
Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
–
As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
–
Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
–
It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dust can
easily ignite.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using
it.
