Recommendations for Optimal Han-
dling of the Battery
 Ensure the switch is in the off posi-
tion before inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into ma-
chines that have the switch on can
cause accidents.

Use only Bosch battery packs in-
tended specifically for the ma-
chine. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.

Do not open the battery. Danger of
short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against
heat, e. g., against continu-
ous intense sunlight, fire, wa-
ter, and moisture. Danger of
explosion.
 When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal ob-
jects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals to-
gether may cause burns or a fire.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liq-
uid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritations
or burns.
 In case of damage and improper
use of the battery, vapours may be
emitted. Ventilate the area and
seek medical help in case of com-
plaints. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system.

 Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.

Use the battery only in conjunction
with your Bosch product. This
measure alone protects the battery
against dangerous overload.

The battery can be damaged by
pointed objects such as nails or
screwdrivers or by force applied
externally. An internal short circuit
can occur and the battery can burn,
smoke, explode or overheat.
 Do not short-circuit the battery.
There is danger of explosion.
 Protect the battery against moisture
and water.

Store the battery only within a tem-
perature range between –20 °C and
50 °C. As an example, do not leave
the battery in the car in summer.
 Occasionally clean the venting slots
of the battery using a soft, clean and
dry brush.

Chargers
Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and in-
structions may result in elec-
tric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

fully understand and can perform all
functions without limitation, or have re-
ceived appropriate instructions.
