Bosch PSB 18 LI-2 Ergonomic Original Instructions Manual page 17

Practical advice
Only apply the power tool to the screw when the tool
u
is switched off. Rotating application tools can slip off.
If the power tool becomes electrostatically charged, the
built-in electronics will switch the power tool off. Press the
on/off switch (5) again to restart the power tool.
Under certain conditions, strong electromagnetic fields can
negatively affect or stop the power tool. After switching the
power tool off, press the on/off switch (5) again to restart
the power tool.
Tips
The ergonomically shaped handle allows for dynamic and fa-
tigue-free handling of the power tool (see figure D).
After working at a low speed for an extended period, you
should operate the power tool at the maximum speed for ap-
proximately three minutes without load to cool it down.
When drilling into metal, only use sharpened HSS drills (HSS
= high-speed steel) which are in perfect condition. The
Bosch accessory range guarantees appropriate quality.
Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard materials, it
is advisable to pre-drill a pilot hole with the core diameter of
the thread to approx. 2/3 of the screw length.
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.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
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.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
