Additional Safety Warnings - Bosch GSR12V-300FCB22 Operating/Safety Instructions Manual

Safety Rules for Cordless Drill/Drivers
Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too
close to the spinning chuck or drill bit. Your
hand may be lacerated.
When installing a bit, insert the shank of the
bit well within the chuck. If the bit is not in-
serted deep enough, the grip of the chuck over
the bit is reduced and the loss of control is in-
creased. After bit insertion, pull on bit to ensure
it is locked.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and accesso-
ries. Dull or damaged bits have a greater ten-
dency to bind in the workpiece.
GFCI and personal protection devices like elec-
trician's rubber gloves and footwear will further
enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power
supply. While the tool may appear to work, the
electrical components of the AC rated tool are
likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for
your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not
to disassemble any portion of the tool since
internal wires may be misplaced or pinched or
safety guard return springs may be improperly
mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as gaso-
line, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery
pack into power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.

When removing the bit from the tool avoid
contact with skin and use proper protective
gloves when grasping the bit or accessory. Ac-
cessories may be hot after prolonged use.
Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from the drill before switching
the tool "ON". Keys or wrenches can fly away at
high velocity striking you or a bystander.
Do not run the drill while carrying it at your
side. A spinning drill bit could become entan-
gled with clothing and injury may result.
