Rechargeable battery

Bosch sells some cordless power tools without a re-
chargeable battery. You can tell whether a rechargeable bat-
tery is included with the power tool by looking at the pack-
aging.
Charging the battery
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
u
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are supplied par-
tially charged according to international transport regula-
tions. To ensure full rechargeable battery capacity, fully
charge the rechargeable battery before using your tool for
the first time.

Inserting the Battery

Push the charged battery into the battery holder until it
clicks into place.
Removing the Battery
To remove the rechargeable battery, press the battery re-
lease button and pull the battery out. Do not use force to do
this.

Battery charge indicator

The battery charge indicator indicates the remaining battery
capacity or an overload for a few seconds when the power
tool is switched on.
The battery charge indicator indicates the remaining battery
capacity or an overload when the power tool is switched on.
The battery charge indicator indicates the state of charge for
a few seconds when the on/off switch is half or fully pressed.
LED
3 × continuous green light
2 × continuous green light
1 × continuous green light
1 × slowly flashing green light
The three LEDs in the battery charge indicator flash quickly
when the temperature of the rechargeable battery is outside
the operating temperature range and/or the overload protec-
tion has been triggered.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.

Assembly
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.

Dust/chip extraction

The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Self-generated dust extraction with dust box (see figures
A1–A4)
Slide the dust box (5) onto the extraction outlet (10).
You can easily check the filling level of the dust box (5)
through the transparent container.
To empty the dust box (5), rotate slightly and pull it back.
Unscrew the filter element (11) from the dust box (5).
Empty the dust box.
Capacity
Gently tap the filter element (11) against a solid surface to
75–100 %
loosen the dust. Use a soft brush to clean the flaps of the fil-
40–75 % ter element (11).
Note: In order to ensure optimum dust extraction, empty the
15–40 %
dust box (5) in good time and clean the filter element (11)
0–15 %
regularly.
When working on vertical surfaces, hold the power tool with
the dust box (5) facing downwards.
External dust extraction (see figure B)
Insert the dust extraction adapter (13) (accessory) into an
extraction hose (12) (accessory) until you hear it click into
place. Connect the dust extraction adapter (13) to the ex-
traction outlet (10) on the power tool and the extraction
hose (12) to a vacuum cleaner (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust ex-
tractors at the end of these operating instructions.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
