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 dust extractor.
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 buttons and pull the battery out. Do not use force to
do this.
Battery charge indicator
The three green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indic-
ate the state of charge of the rechargeable battery. The bat-
tery charge indicator only lights up for three seconds after
start-up.
