Safety Notes

Read all safety warnings and all
WARNING
instructions, including the in-
formation on the bottom side of the construc-
tion site radio. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "construction site radio" used in the
safety notes, refers to mains-powered construc-
tion site radios (with mains cable) and to bat-
tery-operated construction site radios (without
mains cable).
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
The plug of the construction site radio must
match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) construction site radi-
os. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Do not misuse the cord to carry the con-
struction site radio, hang it up, or for pull-
ing the plug out of the outlet. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
When operating the construction site radio
outdoors, only use extension cords suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
When operating the construction site radio
in damp environments is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD). The use of a
residual current device (RCD) reduces the
risk of electric shock.
Connect the construction site radio to a
mains supply that is properly connected to
earth. Socket and extension cord must have
an operative protective conductor.

Do not expose the construction site radio to
rain or wet conditions. Water entering a con-
struction site radio will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Keep the construction site radio clean. Con-
tamination may result in danger of electric
shock.
Check the construction site radio, cord and
plug each time before using. Do not use the
construction site radio when defects are
detected. Do not open the construction site
radio yourself and have it repaired only by
qualified personnel using original spare
parts. Damaged construction site radios,
cords and plugs increase the risk of electric
shock.
Completely unwind the mains cable when
operating the construction site radio via
mains supply. Otherwise the mains cable
can heat up.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-
circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g.,
against continuous intense sunlight,
fire, water, and moisture. Danger of
explosion.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a connec-
tion from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
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.
Only use the battery in conjunction with
your construction site radio and/or a Bosch
power tool. This is the only way to protect
the battery against dangerous overload.
