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.
u
Never allow children, persons with
physical, sensory or mental limita-
tions or a lack of experience and/or
knowledge and/or people unfamiliar
with these instructions to use the
battery charger. Local regulations
may restrict the age of the operator.
u
Supervise children at all times.
This will ensure that children do not
play with the battery charger.
u
Charge only Bosch lithium-ion bat-
teries with a capacity above
1,5 Ah
( 5 battery cells or more). The battery
voltage must match the battery char-
ging voltage of the charger. Do not
charge non-rechargeable batteries.
Otherwise 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.
u
Keep the charger clean. Dirt poses a risk of electric
shock.
u
Always check the charger, cable and plug before use.
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.
u
Do not operate the charger on an easily ignited sur-
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.
u
Do not cover the ventilation slots of the battery char-
ger.
Otherwise, the battery charger can overheat and no
longer operate properly.
u
For increased electrical safety, we recommend using a re-
sidual current device with a max. tripping current of 30
mA. Before using, always check your residual current
device.

Remove battery before adjusting or cleaning, and be-
fore leaving the machine unattended for any period.

near the sharp blades.
